it was about 2am and my big dog starts going off. Now he's trained to attack, maim and dismember anything that he deems bigger than him or more scary (ok not really but you get the point).. and of course I awake a couple seconds before my wife. She freezes as I roll off the bed and grab my .45 thinking something mundo scary is happining. I throw on a pair of shorts and my glasses and start checking the 1st floor. Beast the wonder mutt goes off again and he's standing at the front door, so I kill all the lights and exit after a quick peek.
I clear the front porch area and check any place that something larger than my dog can hide (as that's what he alerts on usually) and find a rather scared young dog.
Full stop, shaking and p'ing on porch in terror (the dog)...
So I say come here girl.. she runs over, jumps into my arms and suddenly I am getting full on dog breath all over my face. Such a sweet girl of a dog. About that time I hear somebody yell "sadie, come here sadie..." so I yell back, lose a dog? of course its yes... so I yell back come to the yellow house by the corner.
Apparently the yelling scared my daughters awake. One of them runs downstairs, hits the porch light as one of my neighbors walks up and I hadn't put the .45 away.
Awkwardly I holster the .45 'cuz its obvious me being a country boy and these folks I moved next to aren't used to a reaction such as mine. I carry the dog over to the fellow and ask the wife if they would like to borrow a leash to walk their dog home ('cuz it's not a lil doggy and he's holding it chest level as it squirms)...
And I know they are sorta relieved to get the dog back, freaked out by me, but now it's been 2 days and I don't have the leash back.. It's my JRT's leash and she hates going without her pink and polka dotted leash for potty..................
SSS or buy a new leash?
OK, so, sorta a joke but....... Buy a new leash? Found out it was the immediate neighbors to the south of me
