Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted December 8, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 8, 2017 So, there is this doggy on my commute. We'll call him Growly. Growly likes to jump up and pop his head over the fence to growl and bark at me, as I ride past his backyard on my jaunt down the alleyways. One of my recent mornings, I see his head above the fence and he is yelping and something didn't seem right. As I get closer, I see that his leg is stuck in the fence slat. He is completely freaking out. I jump off my bike to try and work his leg out of the slat, he just keeps pulling harder and tries to bite me in the process. So, I ran to the door of his owners house. The car is gone. SHIT! So, I run back and try some more to work him out of the fence. He is screaming loud as hell. Again, he won't cooperate at all. So, there i was, terrified and worried. So, I started screaming too. HELP! HELP US! SOMEONE HELP US! HEEELP! Kitty corner from this house is my buddy Wes. Wes hears the screams. He comes running over. He sees the situation and jumps in to help. His tactic for help was much more intelligent than mine. I had tried to work the dog's leg up the fence slat. He just put two fingers below the dog's leg and pushed upward. The arm gets freed and the dog drops below the fence line and runs off. WHEW! Wes is a smart dude. Several other neighbors heard my loud ass screams, and before long we have several people there. My town is pretty cool this way. People help one another. After the episode, Growly got very quiet for a bit. I wondered if our daily hello was completely over. Today, he was back growling and jumping at the fence. Everything is back to normal. The end. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinneR ★ Posted December 8, 2017 Share #2 Posted December 8, 2017 Growly's lucky to have nice friends and neighbors. Way to go! Maybe you share your karma points with Indy. He seems down and could use a lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would so bite me, if he could get a chance. haha Despite my stress and willingness to help him, Growly doesn't appreciate me at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted December 9, 2017 Share #6 Posted December 9, 2017 I would like Growly, he stays true to his nature. He would probably be fine with you if you split a pizza. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always say "Good morning, Growly." He responds appropriately. I should Go pro part of my commute, so you guys can experience, the chickens, growly, and the frozen puddles that I love to snap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted December 9, 2017 Share #12 Posted December 9, 2017 I might have helped him eventually but first I would have stood there and laughed at him and told him how stupid he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc2000 Posted December 9, 2017 Share #13 Posted December 9, 2017 DH - You could try tossing a dog biscuit over the fence each time you ride by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a good idea. I need to stop and ask the owners if I can do this for him. Because I don't know this dogs potential allergies, it's better to be better safe than sorry. Sometimes, I time it just right and they haven't left for work just yet. 2 hours ago, Kirby said: You're a good egg, DH. I like this story! You would have done the same, if it was you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
