my dog

[sasha_feather]

Here is another cute picture of my dog, which is reminiscent of that luck dragon in the Never Ending Story.







Once I get approved for the dog park email list, I'm going to send this note about my dog getting bitten today.



Sorsha, my white Greyhound dog, was bitten today at Quann park at about 3:15 pm near the South gate. The dog that bit her appeared to be a small-to-medium sized black dog named Loki. The owner did not stop to see if my dog was OK--- they merely called their dog off and left the park. They had another larger dog with them also. Sorsha's injuries will heal, but the behavior of this other owner really upsets me. Sorsha's green coat was torn also, and she fell down on the ice. It was not a minor scuffle. I understand that things happen between dogs, but it would have been nice if the other owner hadn't left immediately.

Thanks for reading,
Me

She's adorable!! I'm so sorry about the bite!! Is she okay? Is she getting plenty of cuddles? Oh, that's awful.

I've never really grabbed on to what Sorsha's personality was, but that scarf tells it all. Did you carefully pose her, or was she happy to glory in her elegance and velvet.

The bite is AWFUL!! Did it tear her dear delicate skin? Can you patch the coat with duct tape or something similarly awful?

Are you interested in comments on your letter?

oh, I'm so sorry about the bite! I've been in my share of dog park scuffles, from pretty much every side (my dog the aggressor, my dog being picked on, someone else's dog biting me, everything in between) and the other owner's behaviour is awful. No excuse for that.

Poor baby. I'm glad she's doing okay.

I'm generally down on dog parks, because too many people have no clue. Dog body language is really not that hard to learn, once you know what to look for. Dog bullies need time outs, and some dogs just don't enjoy being in that environment, and shouldn't be there.

That's an adorable photo of Sorscha! Though she is a pretty adorable dog.

Sorsha (I missed when her name spelling changed, I think) is so beautiful! :(:(:( for the other dog and owner. Glad she is ok.

I'm sorry your beautiful girl was hurt like that. Pet owners should realize that there are times your responsibility isn't limited to your own pet only and they should always take it.
