I was telling my mom that yesterday, that i want a mace spray. I don't know where to get one. Someone told me if anyone ever tries to attack you, a guy to pinch them in the eyes or kick in the privates.

Wow. She's so lucky she got away! How scary!

You can buy it at like hunting stores (though those aren't in NYC... maybe like a gun shop?). I got some for Christmas one year.

If anyone tries to take Miss K I will scream, kick, bite, or do whatever I need to. I hope I can handle the situation. I do, on the other hand, make an effort to socialize her with all people because I want her to be friendly - and she is very friendly. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me.

Bruce's_Mom · 10-26-2007, 01:42 PM

We had a similar experience at a small dog area here about a year ago...I was there with my friend and her dauchsund...I had to go to the bathroom and fully trusting her asked if she would watch Bruce while I ran to the bathroom real quickly...Well there had been this lady there who had come without a dog (going to a DP without a dog is strange in my opinion)...Well at some point someone tried to let a doberman into the small dog area and caused a huge distraction...The next thing I know I am coming back to the dog area and Bruce is running in circles from the lady in full speed...The lady says to us "you are younger can you help me catch my dog." Needless to say she got an earful from me, but I still wonder if maybe the actual problem was she had some sort of dimensia...BE CAREFUL AND ALWAYS ON ALERT!!!

Thanks for the heads up. People are just nuts these days.

Thank God I have a bodyguard for my little man. I always walk my yorkie and my three small children with their "big brother", my 76 lb of pure Boxer power named Seamus. Usually when people see us they cross to the other side of the street. I always feel safe every where I go when Seamus is with me. Sometimes I think that Seamus and Snickers (the yorkie) have a little breed reversal going on. lol.

my2boyz · 10-26-2007, 04:52 PM

You have to be careful in the car too. We just took a trip to Florida and I felt pretty secure knowing the boyz were behind tinted glass in the back seat of the truck. Well, we stopped at a light and the guy next to us was saying something so I put the window down and he said 'I have a Yorkie too!' I was shocked that he could see them but the sun was hitting that side and the boyz were next to the glass watching everything. We never leave them in the truck alone, if we stop one of us stays with them and locks the doors til the other one gets back and when we walk them we go together. It's such a shame that you just can't walk and enjoy the scenery anymore.....

Or pinch them under their arm, between the shoulder and elbow, where loose skin hangs if there is any..you get the picture right? Pinch really small but hard, I heard that works good. Also, if they extend out their arm, take your whole body and push it against their elbow trying to bend their elbow the other way, no matter how much you weigh, 100lbs or 200 lbs, all that weight on the elbow will dislocate it.
