Great story! Izak sounds like a wonderful neighbor! There is nothing scarier than having your dog slip the leash. The clip on my dog’s leash stuck one time and he got free. Headed directly to the park across the street (because of course he did!). I lunged at his hind end, grabbed it, and slid across the sidewalk on my face for about three feet. My heart was banging and my face was bleeding, but he didn’t quite make it to the street. Good for you for giving your dog good leash training - a definite plus for both of you! Happy holidays!
This is why I made one of my superheroines a puppy: the cuteness serves as a veil to deflect suspicion. And, therefore, some people can naively write off her usages of her strength, speed, agility, intelligence and even her ability to speak English (and other languages) as stereotypical "cute" behavior when it's not meant to be so.
Aw, the perfect Christmas Eve story to get me in the mood. I have to admit I did wonder when glitter would make its entrance, but alas, no glitter in sight. ;)
I had that collar on my hairless pit bull.. he really did respect that collar.. his name was Cain.. the hairless wonder..yup he was hairless with only a small tuff of white hair on the back of his neck and his gray skin like seal ..he was such a goober sweetie but he was big and docile but get him around another male. Forget it. He would go to work with my hubby and he was free dog in the forest.. he came when called and was gentle and super sweet with the cat and the kids who’d run up and want to pet him.. then someone brought their Cane Corso male dog to my husband’s mill yard.. holy moly. That dog had 110lbs more on him than our Cain.. the Cane Corso went after my hubby and Cain grabbed that dog by the neck rolled him over and got between him and my hubby. And beat the tar out of him. Then my hubby skewered his client. One his dog could’ve hurt everyone in the yard because he didn’t have control of him. Two: at any given time the crews kids and our kids can be in the yard playing waiting for their dads to finish work. 3: my hubby has clients coming in and out all day long for supplies with their much smaller dogs in tow.. talk about a shit show.. so after that. The Cane Corso has to be leashed and the owner in control of his dog at all times.. or left in the car.. Cain passed away a little over 2 years ago at 13 years young. We miss him every single day. We still have our 7 year old blonde/orange lab and our pac orange Corgi who is my service dog and the Orange Himalayan Maine Coon Cat who rules us ALL..
This is a heartwarming story. I'm glad you and Isak found each other. Joyful dogs pull more and want to meet people and other dogs on busy streets and in the park. I'm glad you got the pinch collar so your girls can be safe. Did you ask Isak why he always walks a different dog?
I don't think it's effective to call everyone stupid. We can teach a lesson and be polite. In my years as a teacher, I found that was a more effective way to teach.
Love this story.
As the former owner of large breed dogs, using the correct tools can be lifesaving for both the dog and the human.
Dogs will adapt and both will have a good experience.
Yes! Thank you!
Proper tools to train the dog are not cruel and saves dogs from turned over to shelter or rescues or being killed
So true!
The dog lord. Life goals haha
Yeah, I identify more with him every day :)

He's a character, that's for sure! My dog has gotten better at not running out into the street, but it's something you have to teach!

Haha, yeah, puppies keep turning up in my creative works too!

I had enough glitter in the last story :)

He walks them for the neighbors. I'll share some more stories about him ;)
I'd love more stories about Isak. These are tough times, and stories about good people and good dogs bring me back to earth.
I have a couple more, I’ll import them in!
My best to Izak. We need more people like that offering practical education.
Wholeheartedly agree!!
Love the story
Thanks Gene!
I really enjoyed this! The graphic at the top is beautiful. Have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks Bonnie!
