I went yesterday to get the meat rolls for my GSD, and decided to take Lexie cause she has been in one of her moments lately, I think she may be trying to go into heat, she always acts funny a couple of weeks before she actually does go into it, anyway if it hadn't been for the fact I had a monkeydaze overhauls jumper on her I wouldn't been able to keep hold of her during this, so those that think we are nuts for dressing our dogs, call me nuts all you want to cause I for one know thats what saved her. I wraped my fingers around the bib on the front which helped me to hold on to her. The guy must of been watching us or maybe just seen me going to my jeep and decided easy prey...I think now he probably wishes he hadn't picked me. I was at the jeep putting my bags and purse in the back, and still had Lex in my arms and just shut the door and was going to open the front door to put her in her car seat, my hand was on the handle when someone grab my shoulder and said "give me your dog" I jerked back thinking if I keep Lex between me and the jeep he couldn't get her, and for some reason in my head I get thinking if he gets her I will never see her again, so I kick him from behind, don't know what I hit, but I kick as hard as I could then he push me into the jeep and I hit the car and lost my balance and a lady saw what was happening and started screaming and the guy ran. I never really saw what he looked like, but we did call the police and hopefully they will catch him. the girl said she saw him in the store and the police was going to get her to look at video to id him. Long story short, we are doing fine, but hang on to your babies. just watch what is going on around you, yesterday I said I would never take my yorkies with me again, but today I will, I will not let one crazy person put me in fear, I will watch more closely what is going on around me, and take max my GSD with me:p Max adores Lex and would hurt anyone trying to mess with her or me, but even if I don't take him, I will be watching everyone very closely. just something that I will do from now on, put a leash and harness on her at all times out, I always hold her, but that way I will have something to hold on to her tightly, the overhauls really did save her.:)
