So we have this mutt that my wife brought home as a puppy. Supposedly a mixture of bulldog, lab, and Pyrenees. He is about 3-1/2 now. Best dog that I’ve ever had but he is a pet.....no hunting. Just rub me, pet me, and in turn I’ll keep the delivery guys nervous.
wife works from home and he is in and out. Pretty decent alarm system. He goes into his kennel at night and gets out when I leave for work. Sometimes he goes in, sometimes he stays out.
tonight it was bedtime. I grabbed his routine milkbones and went to put him up. Got to the carport to see what he needed food wise. There was a cat in the kennel. My first thought was, I hope I can trick him into going back inside. He saw the cat. It was a cage match. Biggest Tom cat I think I have ever seen. I was yelling and trying to figure out how to deal with this and keep myself from getting clawed up or cat bit. No gun with me....but Jerry Mitchelek couldn’t have put one between that pair. Finally the cat found a corner and made a climb. Got his head out and I thought he was good to go. Dang if the dog didn’t jump up there and pull him back in. They mixed again and the cat was able to break loose and hid behind the feed box. Took a few minutes to get the dog. I was expecting a vet bill. Like I said....that was a fine specimen of a Tom. Got him in and he came out pretty good. Scratch below the eye, on the nose and one ear. Checked with the wife to find out rabies status. He is good.
you just never know what to expect. I surely thought that would be worse than it was. I have seen very few dogs with his speed and to carry that quickness at over 90 lbs, it’s amazing.
