Scared out of my mind! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Marissa101 · 07-26-2009, 09:34 AM

I just got home from salt lake city last night and it was late and kinda dark. I never like to walk in the dark, but you should have seen Snickers face. He saves up all his pee to go on his walk too. (Well most of it)
I'm not gonna walk alone tonight.

Good just be extra careful. Hopefully they are not in the area anymore.

Oh geez, I know you were scared to death, for you and for Snickers. There have been incidents where a car will drive up beside a person walking a dog, Yorkies in both incidents I know about, and stop and jump out and grab the dog and off they go. It just isn't worth the risk, maybe you can just walk around the back yard a jillion times?

Take someone with you when you go walk Snickers. Especially at night . If you are a minor , then if this ever happens again, you need to call the police. It is very scary that it happend to you, however, it happens , and walking alone, is very dangerous for a female . Please be very careful.

So glad you and Snickers are safe. Always change your walking path, never go the same way twice in a row. Reverse directions and always carry your cell with you. I have two yorkies and am leash training the little one for our walks, we live next to our local airport which has lots of dark spots and the park close by, (lots of people hang out there at night) so I am always extra careful. Please be safe.

That is awful! I agree, take a whistle or some type of horn. Can you take someone with you when you walk? You don't have a backyard? I would get pee pads for your pup. That is just too scary! Please be safe.

Oh no, I have a back yard. He just likes to save up and pee on everything on his walk

I usually have someone with me, like my mom. But she was tired. I usually go a different way everyday, (reversing directions).

I'm glad you are okay!! We are moving right now because the last few months things like this have been happening. I always use to go to the park next to the police station to walk. Up until a few weeks ago I would go hiking in the hills behind my house by myself... I had pepper spray, my phone strapped to my arm and a walking stick umbrella thing. But since the rash of people getting robbed while walking I am waiting til we move. I just heard of a second yorkie stolen in the same city just blocks away. People should be ashamed of themselves! Keep safe and always carry spray and at least your phone.

So scary! Definitely make sure you tell a few neighbors that you trust (if there are any) or any of your friends so that if anything happens like that again you can either go to your neighbor's house (cut through backyards if you have to!) or have a friend come over pronto.

I really hope they don't/didn't have bad intentions for you and your dog!
