    Gosh!! That must have been awful for you. I've been in that position before and it's no fun. I also just stood there and didn't know what to do. It's makes you feel totally helpless. I'm glad you and the babies are okay now. The best thing you could have done was what you did. Sit there and eat peanut butter sandwiches with them to take everybody's stress away. (((((HUGS)))))


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    I can imagine how scared you were for the dogs. I've had a rottie and now own a mastiff and OMG I really would have been terrified. So I can't blame how you reacted.
    All that matters is that you and those two sweethearts of yours are fine.
    I agree with Pat, I'd call animal control. These are two very large dogs and have no business being out of their yards.

    Lots of hugs to you and the puppers.

    Cyber-sibes is right. I'd report it to animal control and let them deal with it. Those dogs had no business being off leash, and the owner should at least get a warning, if not a ticket.

    I was dog-sitting in Vermont years ago for some friends. Their house was up in the hills with maybe only 4 or 5 other houses around. I had Striker on the leash when all of a sudden, out of nowhere came this german shepard (Striker is also a GS). I dropped the leash so that Striker could defend himself and I could get outta the way. I, like you, felt helpless but was not about to get in the middle of it and break it up, taking the chance of getting bitten.

    The only thing you could've done was exactly what you did. That is unless you happened to have a hose to turn on them.

    Peanut butter sandwiches, LOL!!! I'm glad you and your precious pups are okay. Say nothing to the owner. But please, DO call Animal Control. That's what they are there for.

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02
