willow01's blog post - Weirdos

Last night I took the dogs out quite late on. I take the big 'un out on a lead because he sometimes runs away. So off we went till I got to the bit of grass I take them to at night, which is fenced in - so I can let him off his lead.

I was standing at the entrance to the grass watching them run around, but I kept getting the feeling I was being watched. I finally noticed a guy standing up the road from me, just standing there, staring at me. He gave me the creeps a bit so I was half watching the dogs and half watching him. I got more than a little bit creeped out when he started wandering down in my direction, but tried not to fret too much and was half watching the dogs and half watching him.

He kept walking and finally stopped about half an inch back from me.....and I do mean stopped...he just stood there till I turned around (insert the *OMG WEIRDO emoticon here*), so I stepped away and shouted the dogs back. They ran back to me and I grabbed a hold on the big un, in case he tried to run away. Now usually I woulda put his lead back on at this point in time, but I certainly wasn't going to bend over to do that with "weirdo guy" standing behind me, so I just grabbed his collar and led him back that way.

When I turned around *weirdo guy* said "Hello!"

So I growled "Goodbye!" at him, while dragging the dog and shouting at the other one to get in.

Everything was going well till I had to let the dog go, to unlock the door....That was the point that the stoopid dog decided to do a runner towards the fields just back from my house.

I had about a thousand thoughts go through my head in a split second about what to do, but I decided on throwing the lil doggie into door then going back out the other door to go find the escapee.

Weirdo guy was standing waiting at my other door by this time....that was the point that I totally lost control and all day I have been kinda giggling at my reaction......

I had the dogs lead in my hand and it is a metal linked chain lead...(thankfully!!)

I swung the lead around my head twice and screamed at him....."YOU FUCKING STAY AWAY FROM ME WEIRDO!!"

He replied, with a "I no understand"

So I swung the lead again and told him again in a very similar manner. (I mean, cummon, it doesn't matter if you understand language or not.....the tone and the actions shoulda got the message through FFS)

Anyway, I had to go wandering up into the dark fields on my own, but I did find the dog and got him back home...... I wanted to throttle him for the trouble too..... All the way back home I was watching my back but at the same time giggling because I kept hearing the way I screamed at this guy!

Tonight, the dog aint getting off the lead!

hun, go careful, if he knows the dogs did not react to him, he knows you are not so well protected by them... borrow my pooch next time, he'll never come back! Seriously go careful! xxx

Hi Willow, so sorry you've had that shocking experience I know how you must feel. So pleased you're OK and the dogs. You need someone with you next time Willow, maybe one of the girls, but also one of the dogs on a lead to separate you from him.
As soon as he approaches you take out your mobile and ring a friend. Make sure he can hear you talking even if your friend isn't there. Say things like 'yes i'll be with you in 2 minutes and oh, i'm just further on up the footpath from you' and ' yes, can you see me, i'm waving at you'.
If he appears again, you need to inform the police. So get a good description of him because 9/10 times he'll be known to them, honest.
You take care kidda you've got enough on your plate without this shit.
If you need a hand just let me know. Be good X

Sorry to hear that. Good idea with the chain though. You tried a little pepper spray thing you could take with you?
