I've been attacked by lots of dogs. I had a face-off with a dog that weighed about 20 pounds about 45 years ago. His teeth marks are still quite noticeable on my face. I had an encounter with a Lab (black, not chocolate) and a pit bull about 10 years ago. Apparently, they mistook my leg for a pork chop. Ouch! My most recent painful encounter was with a trained attack dog about a year ago.(German Shepherd) Fortunately, his trainer called him off before he could eat much more than my coat sleeve and a dab of skin. Yesterday I encountered a monster sized Doberman. Luckily, he was constrained behind a fence. The owner boasted that the dog had already bitten five people. What kind of moron would be proud of such a thing? And, so, my basic philosophy regarding dogs is that, no matter how big or small, if they still have their teeth, they can hurt you.
Waysider, do you need a new kind of aftershave or something? Why are you so popular with all these dogs? It's "eau de cologne" you want, not "odor canine."

I encounter them while working, on what is their home turf. I'm the intruder, in their eyes.
I'd make friends with the animals when I entered the abode, long before I'd make friends with the humans..
the humans were clueless.. easier to deal with..
:)
Yeah. One of the first things I do is ask the dog's name. The dog likes that I know his/her name and the owner is tickled I've taken an interest in their dog.

Hmm.. dunno. Maybe Sam has collaborated with the wrong humans..
there is a cure to this. Hot dogs.
You feed the monstrous gargantuan what's the word..
teaming at the thought of rabidly attacking you conditioned animal.. hot dogs. He starts wiggling his tail, smiling, as you approach with.. hot dogs..
soon, one has the mastery.. the then malevolent creature from hades, yipping and anticipating.. hot dogs..
It's one of the few things the ex taught me.. gawd bless her..
the trained ultra conditioned animal ended up.. biting its master..

the same dog from hell..
we had a *domesticated* rabbit. Sometimes allowed it to free range in the back yard..
it would hide in the neigbor's (dogs) wood pile. Forever tormenting this dog from hell..
the dog was leashed with a rope.. and thought it knew the rope line..
the rabbit was smarter than the dog..

Oh yes friend.. I understand completely..
I did that too for a while..
I'd make friends with the animals when I entered the abode, long before I'd make friends with the humans..

Yes, Sam is her guard dog. He is a Chocolate Lab and, being trained, will viscously defend Rosie and her home.
Wierwille home occupants when I left were Sc0tt and Kr1st1na (Wierwille) Fr03lich + 3 chirrun and Wanda.

Rosalie's home is just off grounds, less than a mile away. Donna was living in the founders hall apartment when I left HQ.
Rosie is very paranoid that the devil will have someone kill her. Same as VP and same as Craig.
And her yes men are very protective of her.
