Get Him! Get Him! Get Him!


Last June we decided to adopt a dog. OK, I decided to adopt a dog and I made the recommendation by adding said dog to the grocery list. My loving fiance complied with my request by allowing me to search for dogs on petfinder.com. You should see what's on the "grocery list" now.

Little did he know that I might actually find a dog, let alone adopt one. But we did and the boy fell in love with her and we named her Maggie (Moo) and the rest is history. (More on that later.)

With that said, the Moo is very protective of her adopters and protects us at every single opportunity that exists around every single corner of our safe and loving block and protects us from every single other adorable dog that lives on said block with a vicious and uncalled for bark and growl. It's embarrassing to say the least.

That said, this evening as we walked the Moo, who does indeed have her own "theme" song for walking...ask me at the wedding....you'll probably hear it played in honor of her absence....we encountered a poor, defenseless Golden Retriever, walking along the block. ATTACK!!!! Moo went in to DEF COM 5 protection mode seeking to save us from the horrendous attack of the Golden who was at least a block and a half away. As we typically do, we tried to distract the Moo and turned about face towards another block.

Within minutes we were faced with a large Rottweiler, unleashed and trotting towards us with the fury of a kitten. As I swoop up the Moo ready to save her from the attack of a horrendous animal, I shout "Get him! Get him!" and the poor owner runs out the door and saves his Rottweiler from the growls and snarls of Maggie Moo, the pure white 20 lb Westie Mix.

He apologizes up and down for frightening her to which we respond..."It's OK. Please don't let it happen again."
