    Bah....Years ago i used to be a dog handler.I will never forget the first time I put a leather sleeve on. Hiding behind a tree I broke cover and legged it down a field,
    {all part of the exercise} Other handler shouts his challenge,I gave him two fingers,he releases his GSD {big $od}.
    There is no greater adrenalin rush than been chased by a GSD that you know is going to
    A/ catch you .B/Bite you. :shock: This GSD was clever, he knew were the sleeve started and finished :twisted: A&E followed.
    I still love GSD's

    Yes, Paul, we know :) I wouldn't fancy being run down by any I've seen you walking. I think I'd come off second (or even third) best ;)

    My wife and I were doing a little rough stuffing in the Pyrenees on our (unladen) touring bikes and came across a giant Pyrenean mountain dog looking after a load of sheep. Luckily it wasn't very fit and by the time it had tried to catch me it was too knackered to go for Avice.

    Just as well really because it took us about an hour afterwards to reach civilisation and any possible help. It was long before mobile phones existed - except for Dick Tracy's, of course.

    If there are any dogs about a trike is the best cycle to be on. The big wheels between them and your legs really confuses.

    Of the dogs that have chased or tried to bite me when I have been either cycling or running, the owners have all been women.

    A woman doesn't seem to be able to control their dog(s) as well as a man. So often I have heard them scream frantically as their mutt disappears into the distance or jumps up at you slobbering all over and trying to nip or bite you. "Awh......he won't bite you he's only being friendly!" "Well that's good as I won't have to bite/sue you then will I?" Which generally gets a torrent of abuse.

    Of course there was Barbara Woodhouse, but she was an exception. Generally women have little control over their dogs in my experience. I wonder how many dog owners have 3rd party insurance for when their mutt goes bad?

    Bear spray is good, I've heard.

    Think how stupid the average person is.......
    half of them are even more stupid than you first thought.

    Many, many years ago I used to carry a cheap starter pistol in my rear pocket. Worked great and no dogs were hurt. Not sure how police would react in this day and age though. It also didn't take long for the "offending" dogs to get the message.

    My daughters rabbit once bit me... I had to shake it off my shin. I obviously shook my leg a little too hard, because when the rabbit let go he sailed through the air, approx 25ft, just managing to clip the top of the back fence. As soon as he landed, he came belting back down the garden at me :shock:
    I had to run into the house and close the back door! FFS

    Later, I told my daughter off, for leaving the rabbit un attended...

    Sorry, I digressed... :roll:

    Was your rabbit in a Monty Python film?
    Tim: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
    Sir Robin: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
    Tim: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

    hahahahahahhahahah
