But the thing that scares me about it is, that no matter what size of dog you have they are all let of the leash. Thats why I dont like to bring them up. But anyway I thought id give them a treat as they love it up there. Anyways of course I was to lazy to walk up, , and my hubby Fra drove me up. The 4 of us had a great time walking around, and because of the time of day there wasnt many dogs. When we got home Fra told me to read the local paper.
Well jeez I was so lucky with my babys. The day before a man was walking his 8yo female yorkie and she was off the leash, just running about like mine would have done. In the paper the poor guy says that 2 japenese akitas just came towards his wee baby Holly and almost ripped her in 2. He says that he was in so much shock, that he just lifted her and run half a mile to the vet with her. She had to be be put to sleep. The poor guy says that he never even had time to get the owners details. My god how awful is that. I find myself so lucky, I really do. If that had have been me the day before it could have been 1 of mine. I will never take take my babys to a public park again, no way, it would kill me if anything happend to them. Its a pity that here we dont have parks for small dogs and bigger dogs parks. That poor man and his family, he is absoulty devasted. Jeez Id say my girls had a lucky escape. As some of my friends no, that is the same breed dog that attacked my hubby. We have a law here that these dogs and many others are banned here in Ireland. I dont understand how they can get away with it.

That's simply horrible. How awful for the man who lost his baby, and how horrible for you to realize it could have happened on any day. I was just feeling sort of guilty for not going to the dog park very often. But I can say you just relieved a great deal of that guilt. I'm glad your babies and you are okay. Stay that way!
