I turned back towards Tori and she had gotten out so I ran around front and there was a young guy (about 25 maybe) reaching down and picked her up. I yelled "hey that's my dog" and he turned and looked at me and said what makes you think it's yours? (his voice was very mean) I said well maybe because I have her papers, shot record and, vet photo. I was walking toward him and he laughed and acted like he was going to put her in his jacket and I screamed you are not taking my dog without getting your a$$ kicked by a woman and I charged that B@$tard. He hurried and sat her down and started laughing I'm not going to take your F'ing dog B$3ch. I picked Tori up and put her inside and went back out and he was way down the street. I was so mad but once she was inside and he was gone I started crying so hard. I was scared to death , but there was no way he was walking off with my baby.

A minute later and she may have been gone. :( :cry:

Thanks, Villette :wink:

We almost lost Lacey a couple of times. Because we will be leaving to go somewhere and she was right by your heel wanting to go too. As soon as you opened the door, she would come running out. My mom had to chase her for a whole block and thought she was never going to catch Lacey. I don't feel right about strangers holding my baby either. Scared they were going to take off with her. We never let anyone hold Lacey unless it was someone we trusted. Like a family member or close friend.

This would prevent your baby from running out the door without you.

Villette, your note freaked me out. I was scared for YOU, dear, even though you seem to have had the situation under control. There are just so many whakos out there...Would you consider calling the police anyhow to let them know the situation occured? Registering the complaint now may make any future problems (with OTHER people's pups, not YOURS) easier for the cops to deal with.
