lexi got smacked
 

this weekend by my b/f.... i guess she scared the living s**t outta him..
she was so good on saturday at a block party off her leash and right by our sides at all times. everyone was asking how i trained her so well.
anyway sunday my b/f drops me off at a store and went back to his house, he forgot something and took lexi. WELL she walked with hime up to the gate she was right by his side , all of a sudden she heard kids or something and ran away and ran right into the street with a car coming.of course he was screaming for her and she couldnt care less.. when he finally grabbed her
he put her in the car , and smaked her 3 times he told me not hard of course. she fled into the back seat and hid till he picked me up.i was wondering what took so long.. he was so so pissed off at her..i asked 3 times why, he said he was so mad *scared* and would i rather her get hit by a car or me smack her to show her thats wrong... its really our fault for keeping her off the leash when we get out of the car... so be carefull everyone, it takes a split second... we know better now.... he said i never want to see her off the leash again and he is right... he knows while he as her and anything happens to her, he better either leave town or kill himself... he also says i spoil her too much which i do, cant help it... soooooooo we agree ,lexi stays on leash at all times...

awww i'm sorry lexi had a rough day. i wouldn't be mad at your bf though... he seems to love her a lot from what you've posted on here and was probably just reacting in the heat of the moment.

im not mad at him, he just was so angry and scared and almost s**t himself, i could see him now,, i laughed

Gina, I know how much you love Lexi. I read many of your posts. As you said it only take a second. Glad nothing happened to your baby. Leash on from now on.

Wow i am glad Lexy is okay. What a scare

I would have smacked my b/f right back :eek: Sorry but NOBODY smacks my baby, especially if it was not her fault. I know how much you love Lexie, I'm surprised you didn't beat him with a wet noodle..lol

IMPULSE, thats what it was im sure... no really,, he does love her..
believe me i have smaked her before, impulse only.. it all good... man, one minute she the best , the next she tear asses all over.. gotta watch them.
he yelled at me for this... he just knows how much she means to me

I can just imagine the news "Woman in her undies arrested for the dissapearance of a community man. MOTIVE, he lost her yorkie"..loool :p

he wouldnt talk to her all day and night like a little kid... but then broke down and gave her kisses and had a talk with her last night in bed.. too funny i tellya.. .

I'm glad she ended up being okay. He might have spanked her because he was so scared himself(men will just say angry because they don't get scared:rolleyes: ). But my son's godmother had to do it once before to my son (She never yells or spanks) but they went to the post office and he tried to take off because he thought it was funny. She is kind of heavy set and he was only 2 at the time, but he never did it again because that's how he found out she was serious. I don't believe in spanking all the time, but if it's over something like this situation I'd rather see a spanking than a fatality. If you only do it when it's a serious situation, that's how they know you're serious. Again, I'm glad she's okay. Have you tried teaching her the "Come" command?

she know come, especially when he speaks, but when she sees something or wants something, she hears nothing, i mean nothing..no one can stop her..
shes crazy...

This is actually a good reminder for My Family. My Girls (10 yr old's) have been trying to teach Josie to walk without a leash. Maybe I'll just have them keep practicing in the back yard. Knowing my "run-away doggie", she'll keep on going.

Thanks for the reminder! ;)

Ah, Gina, it's the terrier in them. They are totally unpredictable. I'm soooo glad she's safe.

we have smacked our two but it is only out of love so they do not get hurt. it is an awful feeling. but they have to know that is not acceptable. i hope all is well now

you know what??? its a good lesson for me and michael... it really is.

better be safe than sorry..... i took advantage of the situation,,,
thinking its ok but its not.... she would run right into a car not even looking.
she dont care.... she dont dam care....

I am so glad that nothing happened to her. Leashed at all times sounds good!

im sure he was so scared sounds like he Loves her it only takes one second and they could be gone
i would use a leash til she 100%

Ahhh... Gina, I know how you both feel.

I had my 4 year old son today take off and run in front of a parked semi about to pull out. I grabbed him by the shirt to pull him back. The truck was not moving yet but the driver did not see him. I looked later and noticed my nails dug into the back of his neck and scratched him when I grabbed his shirt. I feel soooo bad but at least he is alive. These little ones can scare the c#@p out of us taking off like that.

That is what happened to Missy's baby Kloey. She had always done great off her leash... until one day and she heard kids too. She wasnt as lucky as Lexi. So I agree. Maybe this was a lesson well learned. Glad everything is ok.

Thats just what I was thinking as I was reading everyones post. These dogs are so small and delicate, that even a bicycle could hurt them. It's not worth it, you should always use a leash, trust me, use a leash!!!

Gina I'm so glad lexi is ok. I'm sure your b/f was so darn scared, he just didnt know how to handle it, I'm not saying smacking her was the right thing to do, cause I never hit my baby, I dont even hit my kids, I'm a softie when it comes to disipline, I know I should be more firm with them, but I cant help it, it's the way I was raised.
But please always use a leash!

i will , i will , i promise, l rather be safe than sorry... cant trust these little ones

Gina, I think we've all been in a situation where we've off leashed our dog and they prove to us that they CANNOT be trusted off leash, even if it's in the front of our house for a potty session. These curious georges have a mind of their own!!

I can let jewels off the leash and she will stay with me but i would never trust her around a street. I would keep her on a leash when you are around a street

THANK GOD nothing happened to your little girl!! I am sure your b/f nearly died of fright. I don't trust Nikko with a 10 foot pole so he is leashed at all times while outside. It only takes a second for something bad to happen. As for the smacking, it isn't right but we have all made mistakes. When Nikko was a puppy I caught him chewing on an electrical cord. I lightly swatted his bottom and he was so scared his little stump dipped right between his legs. I felt so bad that my baby was scared of me that I never did it again. But sometimes fear and anger get the best of us.

believe me, if she needs a swat she gets a swat....if i can catch her.
this morning she was barking, barking, barking at 7am... i told her to stop, she didnt, finally i ran so fast to try and get her and swat her, she heard me running from the other room and she ran so fast into my bedroom and went under my bed where i couldnt get her..i had to laugh.... if i would of gotten her, she would of gotten a swat... oooh she just pushes my buttons..
enough is enough you know... and barking at nothing really.... sometimes she makes me crack up..
