I left work early today as my parents were coming for the weekend. It was a gorgeous day today as my Mom and I set out to take Max for a walk. My next door neighbor has a bloodhound named Merlin that generally is a pain to everyone in the neighborhood. As we walked past his yard (something I do 2x each day) he jumped his fence like he does often except this time he charged us. He came full speed after my little Max, hit him and sent him tumbling over and over. Max started screaming at almost the same time I picked him up. At this point Merlin came after me and almost knocked my Mom over in the process. I kicked him as hard as I could and he took off. While still shaking in my shoes, I tried to quiet Max and make sure he was OK (he THANKFULLY is fine). I then went in the house and called Animal Control and they were here within 10 mins.

After all of this, I still had to take my little guy for a walk so he could take care of business. We went down my walk way thinking he would probably be afraid to go by Merlin’s house again. In true Yorkie fashion, he turned to the left and pranced his way past Merlin's house and then on his regular route like nothing happened. LOL!

Everyone be careful on walks with your furbabies!
