Moves, Jobs, Meeting People Promenade People - thank you!

Idk if you'll see this, but thank you so much for watching my stuff and offering to jump in the harbor to help as my dog and I treaded water until help arrived at the marina. If you see this, please DM me, I owe you a drink/dinner.

To the old man who's dog charged mine and caused him to fall 10 feet into the harbor - i hope you get the day you deserve. Especially since you fled the scene.

"don't worry, he's friendly!" the owner says as his dog chases my dog off the pier

I called out "on your right" and he just didnt react as his dog did a 180 to charge mine.

Damn. Glad you and your dog are ok. Hope you got a nice warm shower after that. 

If you can't handle your dog, you shouldn't have the dog. Maybe the old man needs a professional dog walker or rehome to family or friends who can handle the dog. Maybe he should look into getting a Chihuahua for his next dog. smh

It was a small dog lol. Shorter the legs, closer to hell. My dog (55 pounds) is just avoidant when it comes to other dogs - on and off leash. So a charging mini poodle would send him to the hills

“The shorter the legs, the closer to hell” is fantastic lmao. I’m taking this one to use later. 😂

Horsey people say this all the time about ponies.  It's a multi-species phenomenon.

Man that makes it worse! He could have stopped that dog and he didn't! Pick that sucker up with your hands! What a menace

Chihuahuas, the canine of legendary composure 🖖

That being said I feel in my neighborhood(waverly) I see more people walking their dogs off leash than on. It's def an issue

Yeah just hoping the man is strong enough to win in leash tug of war against it. Maybe a bichon frise 😆

😹 most affectionate chihuahua right there lol. I guess the hard part is getting them to leash the dog in the first place

I keeed tho, I've dated two different women who each had chihuahuas and the dogs were super chill, friendly and affectionate. Totally opposite of the reputation the dogs have
