Like owner- like dog

Too many dog owners let their pets get territorial. This evening we walked into Posada el Refugio and one of the guest’s dog got aggressive with Kudra. We diverted, but upon our departure some 30 minutes later (and another route that Kudra actually picked on her own), the dog ran away from the owner and was quite nasty. I know not to get between dogs, and fortunately, Kudra defended herself with her swift Ninja moves; she was never touched. Lucky dog because I was ready to whack it with the heavy end of Kudra’s leash I had hanging about my neck.

However, some dogs should just always remain in a sort of containment. They really do not deserve to roam free like the good dogs. Many times the owners should maintain themselves as well, a sort of prison of their own.

I should mention now we had some “situation” a couple weeks ago with another individual who ostensibly left his dog with my neighbor. The night before he left he was at the shore which is Kudra’s playground. The dogs were OK, but he called his over and when I went to the ashtray near them (yeah. I’m still smokin’ cigs) I noticed that he had a large rock to maim Kudra. I say this because there is a difference when you scare a dog with a little stone or have one large rock to really hurt it. And this guy had one that was big enough to do that. I like to discuss things and told him HE is the aggressor and eventually told him that if he does not put that rock down I will find another, much larger one to hurt him.

Although I get very distracted by issues that come aside, let’s get back to today’s story. What troubles me is that we have some ignorant owners of aggressive dogs that still live around us. That is a horrible thought to me, I love all creatures besides scorpions, snakes, alligators and centipedes etc, but I am very impartial to geckos btw. This stupid dog is supposedly going to San Diego, CA very soon. WTF? That dog was attacking a female dog that has no hormones. WTF?

So all that made me wonder if Mexico has different restrictions on kennels for dogs nationally (CUN- TIJ) because the one he has is more than likely not large enough for it to stand in it comfortably, that’s all. I doubt it and am only talking about the canine here, not the idiot. Really, because I believe if he had a chance he’d probably say his ego needs the room to be on a separate plane.
Anyhow, Kudra would have fit in a smaller kennel, but the reason to have one like that is not to cripple the pet should there be a mishap, right? It’s too late for me to ask “where did you get this dog?” etc.

After some belittling and chauvinistic remarks, when I said he needs to keep his dog nearby at all times, as I was walking away I shouted out that although he is the tallest of all present, he is as smart as a doorknob. He liked the phrase because I got it right back. How that dog tried to get her until the owner called him back, the ballet of moves that Kudrusia made, it was akin to Arya Stark in the sword fight with Brianna in Game of Thrones. I wish I filmed it but hope it’ll never happen again.
