Are you gonna rename the dog @stu ?
Very droll.
Tara and Max yesterday evening, surprisingly uninterested in WALKIES! as the hurricane remnants raged about us -
Had to drag āem out eventually and there followed an EPIC sulk - feckinā wimps!

Buddyās operation went well. Heās home now sporting a gaping wound and a cone of shame. The poor wee sausage is having a rest now as heās still a bit groggy.
Theyāve left the wound open but I expect theyāll stitch it up in a few days.
I just took Buddy out to the back garden on the lead for a pee and as soon as we got out of the door a strange dog attacked him. It went for his neck from underneath. I screamed at the owner to control their dog. Swear words may have been used.
Thankfully, the cone prevented the dog from getting hold of Buddy and the dog backed off when I shouted. What a fright I got. I was shaken up already seeing Buddy with a head wound loooking so sorry for himself. Talk about bad luck.
Apparently the woman was visiting someone on the street and her two dogs escaped. She was trying to round them up when Buddy and I appeared out of our building.
To add insult to injury, the fucking reprobate sauntered off and did a shit on our lawn. Do you think the woman picked it up? No, she fucked off with her dogs without a word of apology. Cunt.

Poor lad, he has been in the wars, you could post letters in that incision. As for the dog attack, a Timpsonās enema preferably size 10 hobnailed.

Christ that must have given you a fright. Hope Buddy is on the mend soon.

We had a German Shepherd that would leap three fences and do exactly the same in our garden, and then his dog would do the same.
( sorry an oldie, but makes me chuckle every time I can use it )

I was ready to give it a kicking when it backed away. It was a relief as really you donāt want to be kicking a dog but when the adrenaline kicks in you donāt hesitate. Thank fuck I didnāt have to.

Licence the owner not the dog

Iām definitely seeing an increase in incidents, last one, a person who worked at a pub asked the owner if they could give the dog a treat and stroke. They said yes and that the dog is friendly, the dog then took a fist size chunk out of the persons face after trying to go for their throat. They will need a skin graft and multiple surgeries now.
The dog isnāt a dangerous breed, just poorly trained, not chipped and the owner did not have control of them.
None of that was the dogs fault. My only issue with licensing is who will enforce that as the police have no spare capacity.
One aspect of dog licensing should be high cost to deter the āpuppy-for-xmasā brigade and other mindless wankers - the money raised would go to employ proper dog wardens.

Trouble is, the mindless wankers just wouldnāt get the licenceā¦or pay the fine (if the fucking useless dibble ever got around to prosecuting them)

None taken 
Iām not a dog handler, so donāt get the jobs as often as them, but I have had two dogs destroyed, two incidents have gone to court with owners given appallingly light sentences by the courts and I think five instances of owners agreeing to muzzle the dogs in public and or improve fencing at home. Thatās in the last year.

Howās the boy today ?
Heās much brighter today. Pretty much back to normal. His wound is healing astonishingly quickly. Thanks for asking.
Heās not thrilled to be on the lead the whole time and heās a bit frustrated with the collar of shame but otherwise heās back to his usual happy self. All the neighbours in the block have been making a fuss of him so heās had lots of tummy rubs and Iāve been giving him extra rations of treats and chicken liver paste.
