Over the weekend Mrs D and I took da dumb dog for a walk in WT, in a different place than we usually walk, cuz I wanted to check something out. Now, when Mrs D walks the dog, the mere though of another dog biting her precious, makes her cross the street when anything bigger than a Yorkie is on the horizon. And especially if what’s on the horizon in any way shape or form resembles a pit bull.

I, otoh, think a good dogfight builds character, so I let the dumb dog sniff just about whatever he wants. Therefore, we have a compromise. When we walk together, (that is, Mrs D, myself, and dumbo) she walks the dog, until a vicious breed, like a cocker spaniel, comes ambling along. Then I take the leash, and Mrs D covers an eye or two, trembling in fear that dumbo will get a biting.

Sure enough here comes another shelter pit bull reject, towing a cute thirty-something woman, who must have seen the fear in Mrs. D’s eyes…. so immediately she pipes up ‘He’s Friendly’, that doggie code phrase. FOLLOWED BY ‘…but socially backward’.

He’s friendly, but socially backward? WTF? I rubbed my eyes. I thought I must be back in the Slope.

Then after some ass-smelling, dumbo proceeded to try and bite him. The third pit in as many weeks he’s tried to bite, Fortunately he’s a needle-nose Sheltie so he doesn’t do any damage.
