Had three little run-ins with dogs during our recent hols in CY which you may find amusing....

The first was a neighbour's dog, a little poodle like thing. This bleeding thing barked ceaselessly! I set up my bed by a couple of open windows, very cool and ideal little location but whenever a cat or another dog went past this bloody thing would start barking and carry on for ages. Whenever we pulled up after a day out, again this fecking dog would appear and start yapping. If I went out for a smoke, front or back, the bleeding thing would appear and bark and bark at me.

The second little incident happened when I walked down the road to take the rubbish out to a bin. I was happily walking down the road in shorts and sandals (no socks) when another bleeding little dog ran out of a house, ran up to me and mauled me with its front paws, dragging them down from my thigh down past my knee to my ankle. (For the benefit of female members - my legs are slim, with pretty decent muscle definition, very slightly hairy and, at the time, very sun-tanned). Must have had the sharpest, most unmanicured claws ever on a dog! So much so that a slight bit of blood was drawn down each scratch. It's much bigger brother appeared but luckily for me a very embarrassed and very apologetic lady owner appeared and dragged them both off me. Bore the marks of this attack for days.

The third and most unpleasant encounter was on a beach where I was happily lounging as one does. Our daughter pointed towards some things floating at the water's edge. Dog poo! and loads of it! There were children playing on this beach, loads of people walking along there as well, so I thought it would only be a matter of time before some public spirited or concerned CY parent would do something about it, but did they feck! It fell to one of your favourite pushto-englessos to fashion a poop-a-scoop out of a water bottle using a trusted Swiss Army Knife (without which he never travels). A dozen scoops and trips to a bin removed the offending articles, and what thanks did I get from our CY hosts - bugger all!

I guess it's not the fault of these dogs, they only do what comes naturally, it's Dog Owners that are the problem (imho of course).

Bleeding Dog Owners!

Buy some lanate next time you are over and use it on the dogs and their owners.

Bill, DOUBLE YUK to your third episode. Not necessary at all :twisted:

Hope you healed quickly after your meeting with 'Cujo'! :lol:

Photographs needed as proof (just a sly way to have a look at your legs - if indeed they are as good as you say!)

You described my neighbour's dog exactly (apart from that filthy smoking!) in your first 'run-in'. This dog barks at his own shadow - stupid mutt!
:twisted:

Yes, the thought did cross my mind as to what to use on the owners. :lol:
