My dog is a fucker as well. I love her but she's the most unruly dog I've ever owned.
She's never been trained and was over middle-aged when we got her.
She's much better than she was, but still.
Not so long ago I took her for a run, and let her off-I only let her off where there's not many people and dogs about. She's not aggressive, but she has been known to jump up, play too rough with smaller dogs, and once stole a packet of crisps from a woman who (VERY luckily) found it funny and wouldn't take my offer of £1 for the crisps .
the road went either over the bridge or left of the bridge along the river. I continue running across the bridge, DDog decides nope, other way. I was NOT going to give in and run back to her, as I know she'd just keep running off the way she wanted and would end up taking me for a walk. I'm not about to be one of those owners who accepts their place in the pack. But also, I'm scared of leaving her in case she gets lost or stolen they'd soon bring her back so I run across the bridge and hide. And watch her trot along the path, head in the air then realise I'm not behind her. And look about. And sniff-nose up in the air. Looks right to where I am other side of river. Starts to turn around and trot back 'Victory' I whisper, only for her to change her mind and go IN the river at the shallow bit, covering herself in (smelly) mud, and scaring a couple of young 'uns having a romantic cuddle as they look around 'Whose is this dog that's just appeared'. Then she comes out, shakes herself and heads off in the opposite direction again, before remembering she's alone. And.. this continues for a bit. And then suddenly, she panics, realises I'm not there and bounds at full pelt up back toward the bridge, across the bridge and is all over me once I re-appear.
Sunflower 1, fucker dog, 0. Or maybe Sunflower 0, too as I have a smelly, wet bedraggled dog to deal with when we finally arrive home.
