[CouversMom]

This weekend I went up to Seattle with my parents and my husband to help my grandparents move some things into their new house. Their old house burnt down last summer, and the new one is almost finished, and they needed help with some of the larger items.

It was about 9 pm and we were walking out into the garage (which was open) to get into the truck. We didn't bother to leash the dogs because we were only walking about 10 feet and were going to head straight to our hotel. This is when I heard the dogs from across the cul-de-sac come running toward us. I started yelling "no, no, no!" and grabbed Couver because he was within arms reach. My mother grabbed her yorkie Zoey, but we weren't able to snatch Khloe up before the dogs were in the driveway.

The two dogs then started chasing Khloe (who was yelping and screaming for her life). The owner was shouting "They are friendly, they are friendly!!" but we were all freaking out trying to catch Khloe who was scared to death. She ran all the way across the cul-de-sac, around the truck, got cornered in the garden and then finally into the open door into the house. We were all screaming and trying to catch these dogs who were chomping at her while chasing her. I thought she was going to die! These were 50-60 pound dogs chasing my 5 pound dog. My grandfather (an 80-year-old man), grabbed a 1" x 2" piece of trim that was in the driveway and was able to swat one of the dogs and it started to leave. The other dog continued to chase Khloe into the house. She obviously found a hiding space because the dog came running out to its owner and Khloe was no where to be found. My father was eventually able to coax her out of her hiding place and was then holding her.

Get this, so the male owner, who made no effort to even leave his yard to get his dogs back started yelling at us for hitting his dog! His dog was going to kill my dog, and he thought it was not okay for us to hit it?! He said "How would you like it if I hit you with a 2x4?" WTF (where did he see a 2x4?) He kept threatening to hit my husband but wouldn't come off of his front stoop to talk with us. He obviously saw the size difference between him and my husband and realized he wouldn't stand a chance. He ended up going inside after his gf forced him to, but it was NOT fun.

After just having my dog chased around the cul-de-sac, he had the gall to get after us? I just don't understand people. My dogs did not come onto his property and bother his dogs... His dogs came running after mine and my family members were not only worried for the dogs' safety, but for their own!

I know this all could have been prevented if we'd carried them, so I'm kicking myself. I'm also mad that I could not catch the other dogs OR Khloe. My husband tried tackling one of the dogs and ended up with blood all the way down his leg. We had 5 adults plus the female owner all trying to get these dogs to stop. None of us could catch them and she had absolutely no control over them. They didn't have collars on, so they were like wet eels in our hands.

I wanted to call the cops, but my grandfather insisted that I not. He is just moving back into his house and doesn't want to cause a disruption. I do however plan on calling Animal Control on Monday to report the aggressive dogs.

I just wanted to post my experience to let people know how quickly these little guys can be taken away from us. Khloe could have lost her life and it would have been all my fault. Please take extra care with your babies and I hope that no one has to experience what I did... Watching my baby scream for her life, running as fast as she could to get away. I am crying right now thinking about what could have happened and if this makes even one person more cautious with their babies, it was worth posting.
