Bloody Jack Russells

Today got worse as it passed. After a bit of TV and radio I took Buster to the chemist and got there just before it opened. 5 minutes after opening time they tried to raise the shutter on the chemists and couldn’t. A lady who works there came out and took everyone waiting in the back door so they could be served. Buster started howling after I’d been in the shop a short while and I rushed to get back to him. Normally he’s ok when I leave him outside but I suppose he couldn’t understand where I’d gone when I went around the back of the chemists. Halfway home I realized I’d forgotten Ang’s facial wipes. I rang her and she said don’t go back she’d get them next time she went to Poole. I got back and we cooked chicken and chips with green beans. Ang had gravy as well. Listened to radio for a while then got a phone-call from my friend and arranged to meet at 3.45. Roughly 3.30 I took Buster to catch the train and Ang took Dainty out on the green. I got back at 4.15 and managed to leave lots of cards on the trains I caught.
We listened to radio and watched some TV and I replied to emails that had come in from MP’s. Most so far say they don’t do surveys. Hits on Covenant page are up to 42 now. Wonder what will happen Monday when people back in their offices and start going through emails. All we sent went out late Friday.
We took the dogs out to the green about 6 and then I fed them about 7.30. After they had been fed I muzzled Dainty and put Buster on the lead to take them out on the green. Told Dainty “Green” and she ran out towards the green. I followed with Buster. As soon as he came out all hell broke loose. He started barking and straining at the lead. Then I heard growling coming from the green. Dainty was on the green with Jenny’s puppy coming over to her and Bubs running at her. Bubs ran in and stood over her growling. Then he attacked. Dainty let out terrible squeals and Dean, who was in charge of the two Jack Russels, didn’t pull him off. I frantically screamed Dainty to come and she partly got to me but was pursued by Bubs. I ran forward with Buster and he saw him off. I told Dainty to get in and she headed straight for the door. Bubs had circled around a parked car and went for her again but I let Buster intercept him. Dainty couldn’t push the door open as I’d fully closed it on the way out. Normally I leave it slightly open so she can let herself in. I got them both in past Ang who was on the way out to see what the hell was going on. I checked all around Dainty’s neck for injuries but thankfully couldn’t find any. After fussing Dainty for a while I took them out again and she had a poo and Buster lots of wees. On the way back in Dean started giving me grief. I told him he shouldn’t have been in charge of them so drunk. He’d been more interested in not dropping his can of lager than pulling Bubs off Dainty. I was furious with him. Jenny got him to go in and I apologized to her for using Buster to see off Bubs.
Angela got furious when I told her what happened. We decided to contact the police and were informed the police don’t deal with dog attacks by a woman. The woman said it was the dog warden. I now don’t understand why the police came to me when Dainty nipped a woman who came up behind me if the police don’t deal with these things. Finally contacted council and left a message for dog warden. Hopefully get a call after 9 tomorrow. This will be the second time Bubs has attacked one of our dogs. The first time he bit Buster on the belly which resulted in Buster hating all Jack Russells. We reported him then to the dog warden. Ang got so upset and angry she ended up having to go home. Buster is really upset as well now because Ang has gone. Pretty lousy end to the day. Roll on tomorrow. Just have to get dogs out once more then bed.
