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 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.

I was just going to say, next time take the GSD with you..Although, if she's like mine, probably wouldn't hurt a flea, but, sure would make someone think twice about messing with you..Just glad you and your baby are ok..

Kim, omg! How scarey! I am so glad you and Lexie are doing ok after that whole thing, but YIKES!!! Some people are freaks. I cannot stress enough that although Ive personally never run into a nutcase I always ALWAYS put on harnesses and leashes when I take my boys out of the house. Like your overalls on lexie, its something to hang onto should anyone actually try to take them from me! I think Im going to start a thread to stress how important it is to have your babies 'tethered' to you when you take them out! Im sooooo glad you are ok though and Lexie is safe and sound with you! There are some serious freakin nuts out there in the world!!!!

[tumismom]

omg..that is scary! i am glad kim and lexie are okay..what is going on with these people in the world that we live in?? I carry my mace spray bottle in my keychain all the time..you can't trust people anymore..sad...

great post for those who think we are nuts.. you are absolutely right.. yet again this is good for those that friends/hubbies/ or who ever just think we are absolutely nuts for just worrying over our little fur butts and think gee you can be a little paranoid...
I will be copy this and send it to a couple friends.. if you do not mind..I really need a couple to see this with their own eyes..

I also want to add, I have a friend that sells dog hats and sun glasses at the craft shows and flea markets, of course she always has one of her dogs with her to show off the hats.. she has a tiny chain that hooks on to the harness and she has a tiny tiny lock on it.. the yorkie is also attached to her carry bag that she sleep and travels in. This is hooked to a chair the bag sits on..
My hubby thinks I am nuts when I talk about doing that in their stroller's when we are in certain places... so I will also be showing him this post...

pooh' mum

"Thought I was paranoid"???? I will not take Tricksie to Pet Stores or other places without someone else going along.

[BubblPopElectrc]

Glad to hear you both are doing OK. I'm also glad to hear you will continue to take your babies out with you.

[oopsmyhalofello]

OMG.. thank goodness she fought back. How scary!

I was in a petsmart yesterday and seen this woman cradling her shirt, which obviously had a tiny puppy underneath it. I thought it was silly that she had that baby under her shirt but now I wonder if she was doing it because of incidents like this one.

[Sethowner]

I am thankful that you both are OK this could have been tragic.
Thank goodness you dress Lexi!!!!!

[Cinq1964]

Thank God they are both o.k. I don't know what is happeing to the people in the world! It's sad to think you have to watch your surroundings at all times!

[Maxi]

OMG this is sooooo awful! We better be careful this is just insane.

[Jenn218]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!
That is horrible...people are sooooooooooooooooo STUPID!!! (aurgh)
I am glad that you and Lexie are safe!!
If the guy was in the store earlier...hopefully he will be on their security tapes!!!

[furryfriends]

[MICKEYK]
