Bonnie (our 4year old puppy who is probably not a puppy anymore) had a bad day on Saturday. We got up early (for a Saturday) and went for a walk with some friends. We both brought our dogs and set out on a leisurely walk around the pond. Bonnie pulled the whole time, which does not make Adam happy. She then thought it would be a good idea to pace back and forth across the trail. Also not making Adam happy. About a quarter of the way around the pond, a beautiful tan husky comes sauntering our way.

Now, Bonnie has always gotten pretty excited when she sees other dogs. We've always attributed it to her liking them. I am learning that it is a false attribution.

Husky, saunter, etc. What does my dog think would be a good idea?? A lunge and a bite.

By the way, I wonder what goes through a dog's head when it lunges at other dogs.
"They will love me more if I take a chunk out of that beautiful dog that is way bigger than me"
"Mmmmm..."
or, my favorite, "Maybe this dog will want to have fun."

Luckily, no contact was made, but it was super scary. Looks like my dog gets to be cooped up for the rest of her existence. Oh, the life of a dog owner.
