So Fed Up Of Dogs And Idiot Owners.

My brother had to dive in the Canal, when a Rottweiler charged at him.

Really???
Mind you I would dive into a canal if one of those things were coming at me too...

And what do you do when he dives in and starts swimming towards you!?

Its a known fact that Rottweilers don't like water...been the devil's dog and all that.......so I would stay in the water and either drown or freeze to death...but the dog is denied....and thats all that matters....

Yet again today!😠

Walking in a field on my way home from my exercise route today I see a large dog bounding towards me.

I stood completely still and averted my gaze, as per tips I’d read up on, and I was stood there for two minutes whilst the owner’s commands to his dog went unheeded!

Eventually he caught up with the dog and clipped him onto a lead and he was good enough to apologise profusely and we chatted for a few minutes.

He was a nice bloke and we chatted amicably before parting but the total lack of power over his dog was alarming, if your dog doesn’t respond to you within a couple of commands then it shouldn’t be off a lead.

The incident the other day has left me facing a knee operation, it looks like I’ve damaged ligaments and cartilage as I twisted to avoid that damned Alsatian.

Owners need to understand that there are consequences for people due to their unruly mutts!

Anyone remember the dog that ‘scored’ for us against Everton years ago? Didn’t the animal, a Jack Russell terrier, effectively set up a goal for David Cross? Anyway, as I remember, the Everton players were very cross because the goal was allowed to stand! I can’t remember the year. The picture in the Birmingham Mail made it look like the dog scored the goal!

It was our first season back in the top division after getting promoted at Oldham Kets, the 76-77 season.

We beat Everton 3-0 that day and the dog snapped at Mick Lyons and their other centre half, they were so scared they backed off and Cross nipped in and rounded their keeper to score.

The dog actually ran up to the ball after the goal and nudged it further into the net with it's head :-))

The Brummie Rd chanted, "There's only one Jack Russell" and "Sign him up, sign him up".


It would never happen these days of course, Everton's players were incredulous but it was part of what made the 70's special.


It was that same season that we lost 0-2 at home to a young Peter Ward inspired Brighton in the League Cup who were Division 3 at the time and Willie got sent off for kicking the ref!!

Happy days eh?

Never owned a dog, the commitment in time and money involved puts me off until I can retire as I've always liked them. Every time I see folk walking their dogs early doors, none of them look happy.

Rottweillers got a really bad press in the 80's but as has been said it's the owners - plenty of vids on YT showing impeccable behaviour. Many moons ago after playing 5-a-side a few of us went for a drink and the pub dog (at Rottie) who I'd not seen before, trotted several yards past a load of punters straight for me, turned around and sat at my feet. Had me bricking it I can tell ya but her turned out to be a big softie.

Sorry to hear that Mick.

Sorry to hear about your dog encounters Mick. I was nearly bit when I had a paper round and it ripped my t shirt instead.

I hope your op goes well and your injured knee doesn't stop you enjoying your hobby for too long. On a positive note though it shouldn't stop your taxi driver neighbourhood watch for too long.

The gay taxi drivers are giving the woods a miss during the winter months BB, it’s only the drug dealers frequenting it at the moment, not that the local police seem to care.

I’m hoping I can avoid an op, opening up the knee joint at 60 is bound to lead to more arthritis.

I’m hoping it’ll settle down.
