Every weekend I go to Petsmart to visit the adoptable dogs. I live in an area that is one of the few where shelters take pits, and they and the larger dogs aren''t always walked and played with as much as the smaller or more popular breeds. So I go down and walk the big dogs and play with them.
There were some beautiful AmStaff (my favourite breed) puppies that I fell in love with. One of them wouldn''t go to anybody but me, and just snuggled right up to me. It completely broke my heart that I am not in any situation to adopt her, but there were four families fighting for her so I bowed out and let them play with her since they could take care of her. It was hard to do, though.
So I went and grabbed a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and walked him. He was definitely a puller, but we were pretty evenly matched for most of the walk. And then we tried to get him back in the cage. You know those scenes in movies where dogs wrap their owners up in the leash and then try to run, knocking their owners over until they fall flat on their backs? Yeah, I can tell you, it''s actually kind of funny when it happens to you, but oh boy does your head hurt afterwards.
I guess there''s no real point to my post...actually, maybe there is. Does anybody know a good painkiller that will make this headache go away?
