Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

I love dogs, but I don't trust them unless I know them. I have a dog, and I respect not everyone will love it. Here are a few reasons why I don't trust them. Some due to the owners, and some due to the fact animals have their own mind.

• "Smokey loves company!"..... yeah, thanks for the claw marks down my door
• "Smokey has never bitten anyone before"..... yeah, 17 stitches later, now we know
• "Smokey is so happy to see you again".... yeah, I was dressed to go somewhere, now I have mud from my chest down to my knee
• "Smokey never goes in his own yard".... yeah, thanks, let me get my shovel
• "don't worry, Smokey's bark is worse than his bite".... yeah, ok lady, I'll happily take your word for it
