Icarus's blog: "Augurs, Martyrs, and Agnostics"

So - this dipshit moondog who has lived in my neighborhood for the last 20 years, walks his dogs about 5 times a day all around the block

I shouldn't say he walks them... more that he allows them to wander ahead of him a few hundred feet so they can shit in other people's yards.

Anyway, I was taking my dog out for noonoclock pee, and this dog is halfway up my front steps, starts growling and snapping at me and my dog

Now

its not a huge, terrifying, vicious, evil dog

its a lab mix probably under 80 lbs.

But it is snapping, and growling and threatening my dog

on my lawn

So I charged it.

"Get the fuck away from my dog!" And

not to my surprise, my dog charged too-

well

reinforcements showed up (the dog's cur mother) and they decide to pincer my dog and continue to growl and snap at her on her territory

someone almost got kicked.

A couple someones almost got bit by dogs off-leash in their own yard.

I think my dad has an old 9-iron he's not using.

What happens if my dog is off leash menacing the block? I get a $2000 fine.

What happens if my dog eats his dogs?

I laugh- hysterically.
