I took Rasta for his daily walk today and noticed a silhouette of a bird over us. It was a friggin chicken hawk. We were the only ones out and the bird just kept circling and getting lower so I said "forget this" and picked Rasta up and continued walking, the hawk flew away after a couple of minutes. A few mins after that we walked by someone's home that has 3 large dogs and a dachshund(sp?) We walked on by then Rasta started growling and I was wondering what the heck was wrong with him. I turned around and the dachshund was chasing after us! I know better than to run, so I picked Rasta up(thanks buddy belt) by his harness and just kept a normal pace with the little ish of a dachshund on my heels barking its head off. After walking a couple hundred feet the dachshund gave up and I put Rasta back down to finish out his walk. Ugh!!!!! I was so mad! I understand sometimes our pets can get loose but if you have a pet you know is aggressive wouldn't you try to take extra precautions???? It seems like I can't even walk my dogs without interruptions like these(the hawk was just being a hawk but the dog being loose is just being irresponsible). Ok my rant is over
