[QUOTE=yorkietalkjilly;4027785]That umbrella sure does work well in a lot of instances. I have mine handy when Tibbe goes out though we live in the suburbs but I keep that thing near, just in case. It recently might have saved Tibbe from an attack when 2 Spitz dogs off leash ran out him on a walk, barking/growling and he gnashed/growled back. That old open umbrella down in front of us kept those dogs away until the lady could come & get them and take them away & in the house! Keep yours handy!

I remember reading that story, and it sounded so so scary to me!! I was almost positive it was you that originally posted about the umbrella! I'm so glad that you did share your idea because it's a great tool to have, and it makes me feel I at least have a little control over unpredictable mishaps! So THANK YOU for sharing!!!
