Well, we have.
We struggled with the decision for a while. We are always very careful when we walk Biggs, to look both ways for human traffic, to make sure no dogs are coming that may scare him or more accurately, be scared by him.
We didn’t think of children.
Yesterday, this little girl came out of nowhere and before anyone knew it she was too close to Biggs. Well of course, he was startled. We all were.
Biggs started barking like crazy and the girl ran back to her mother, who grabbed her hand and they both ran off in the other direction.
The damage was done. Biggs lost his cool, and his loving, caring image was in the toilet.
My niece bought him a muzzle today.
He paws at it but it holds firm. He can grunt through it but no barking.
Who knows it may be a blessing in disguised. Maybe now, the neighbors won’t be as frightened and Biggs can make more friends.
