It was quite funny today aswell.. on Monday I let go of her lead in the field just over my fence and she just followed me everywhere, never went 3 foot away from me and always came back if she was going somewhere I didnt want her to go. (this is probably because she follows you everywhere in the house so she can't see the difference). Anyhow, she's only met about 4 dogs and she has always been very, VERY shy.. she used to hide behind me. But today we saw this woman and man walking 4 big rottweilers and 2 whippets and I picked her up (because they were all off the lead and I've heard SO many stories so I'm always careful..) just incase they weren't friendly. I asked the womanif they were all friendly and she said yes but didn't seem so sure, so I held her still whilst I studied their behavoiur and she was BARKING and GROWLING at them! My little Molly was getting all brave with rottweilers! Anyway, after a bit I put her down but held the lead (I keep it on for easy access, it takes ages to clip the lead back on the harness, I can just grab it), they all ran over, all 6 of them, and sniffed her and stuff and she seemed all confident. I let go of the lead because they seemed quite nice and she began chasing a whippet who wasn't really interested in her and walking through all the rottweilers legs! I must admit my heart was hammering, still worried, but they were fine. She didn't really get to play with them because they went after about 3 minutes.
It amazes me how unintimdated they are by their size. (Yorkies).. |
