Who says that Corgis are little dogs?
There are two corgis on our block… and one has been attacked a few times by the dog down the street so they are a little… um… nuts.
Shel and I were walking the kids and walked past the corgi’s house.. One was jumping jumping jumping on the screen door while we walked by when suddenly..
Pop!
The door opened and out came two crazy barking corgis… and attacked our dogs…
Yup.. you heard right… two little corgis attacked three big bullmastiffs.
After a LOT of screaming yelping (and one little dog getting tossed by Miss Qay.. and Shel shoving one of them off Qor with the Polo mallet we carry) and Targ leaping around looking for some way to break it up and the owners trying like hell to get their dogs…
my hands hurt.. thank god for prong collars.. but when they flip over… ow.
Everyone is fine.. the owner apologized.. . and then commenced yelling at her husband.. for not locking the door.
Fortunately, we had witnesses who saw the whole thing and stopped to pet our dogs … and remarked at how crazy those little dogs must have been.. what were they thinking?!
I said “they were thinking they are big dogs.. that’s what Corgis are.. big dogs in little bodies”.
We all had a dose of rescue remedy.. myself included…
my hands have stopped shaking…. Shel has leash burn on her thumb.. I think I pulled a muscle in my shoulder.
The owner just left.. she swung by the house to apologize… she was putting the kids to bed which is why it took her so long to get out… her husband missed the whole thing.. she looked like she was going to cry the whole time..
We assured her it was ok.. accidents happen.. it’s not like she has a history of irresponsible dog ownership..
And we now know how our kids will behave should that happen again..
Thank god they didn’t use their teeth.
Oh my!!!! How scary! I am soo, soo, sooo glad that everyone is OK….
Yeah, it was pretty scary… I think I’ve almost gotten my heart rate back to normal!
what a scene! im proud of you and your dogs for handling that safely. im often reminded of the necessity of patience & restraint in large dogs. im trying to teach mine the same. so far, weve had a couple close calls with stray dogs but stranger didn’t seem to notice, just kept walking and smiling
Oh my heart goes out to you… That type of situation is just awful. Thank goodness no one was hurt and you were able to get them apart before there was a catastrophe. I worry about neighbor dogs getting out and having to break up a fight.
I really dont understand why some little dogs are so nasty.
Hugs, I hope you two aren’t too sore tomorrow.
I have a mental picture of your dogs being attacked by those corgis. If the episode hadn’t been so upsetting for you (and rightfully so), then it might almost be comical.
My advice — walk on the other side of the street, and always quickly by that particular house.
Oh wow. That is really scary. I swear that small dogs have identity crisis issues.
Trooper and I were “attacked” by a little rag dog (Shizou?) who would NOT leave Trooper alone. I was trying desperately to keep Trooper from eating the darn thing because I know his prey drive was creeping up.
I’m glad the woman felt responsible and bad about what happened. Too many times people just don’t care and want to blame others.
=) Glad it worked out okay!
Little dogs can be a big problem, can’t they? Like you said, the main thing is no one got seriously hurt. And accidents do happen. Last week one of my neighbors Jack Russell terriers came charging at me barking and growling. It did not bite me, but I wonder if it would’ve bit my dog had he been along. I also think it might’ve bitten a little kid if the kid had decided to run from the dog.
I’m glad you and the dogs are OK!
