She's so wise my Crackers is. Wouldn't go in before the other woman with the two smaller dogs (should have gone into the small dog park-so should i have- Crackers is elderly); though we were at the gate first, she shied away-pretending to sniff the grass by the fence.
The other woman went in. A pit came barreling outof nowhere--sniffed one of her dogs-who snarled at it- and it was on .

Again-unprecedented violence-blue sky quiet day--the owner of the pit began cursing, the woman stooped to his level- the pit was pulled off-

We entered on the tail (no pun) of this- the two owners continued to spew four letter words (now, i'm good at this too--but under pressure i ne'er use four letters-my enormous vocabulary comes out-the words i forgot along time ago-weird).
Okay so the pit gets the little white dog by the femoral--like a well done chicken leg and thigh in that deadly clench--

I guess it's just me--but I proceeded for the first time in my life to kick the hell out of the pits flank-right there in front of me--owner of white dog goes for the pit's jaw-dumdum yeah, she got bit and bloodied--

Pit started screaming-I was doing a good kick job on it-- and it unclenched- the owner of the pit got hold of him.

I shouted out "Where's your license and information please?"
He's dumbfounded, and the owner of the white dog is still shaking and screaming four lettered words--Pit owner-"My grandson is here, watch your mouth!" to owner of white dog----I catch sight of a little boy in the dog park-cool day-no shoes or socks on, dirty clothes that don't fit--

"If you are so concerned about your grandson sir, why on earth doesn't he have shoes on in a dog park of all places-harumph"

The two owners went on at each other- the pit's owner spotted my dog's leash on the ground and picked it up--timidly!-"Miss-you forgot your dog's leash" very very respectful-after all that ugly stuff with the other owner-----
I was helping the other owner-she was shaky-as was I--I was triggering!!!
I said-shakily--"Do not come near me--drop it right there, Mista" (HOHOHOHOHO) He dropped it all right..looked back while he walked away--I actually scared him!!! Mom always said: " Do Not Lower
Yourself to Their Level"---Swedish mom and Granpa-"A well-mannered, intelligent, dignified Gentleman WILL not insult me--no other CAN!"

Dumb Swedes lol

How unfortunate this happened. Thankfully no one was seriously injured.

Going through a veritable hell in my life--midway, I must begin again.

Yes, I'll admit, I may confuse you, but have always been an inordinately
weird person... a loner, a reader, a lover of beauty in Nature, in others,
and i adore the truth.

Which would make me avery sensitive, vulnerable, gullible, person.
Not trying to "confuse" you---I apologize if it has.

(((theodora))) that's a very scary experience and you were very brave to intervene. I don't know why an owner would bring an aggressive dog to a dog park. I've had to leave a couple times with my dog Bella. It shouldn't be the other way around, with them leaving instead of me. I don't blame you for being shaken up - wow!!

My psyche was harmed considerably, have little to no tolerance for unprecedented violence, intolerance of others belief systems, and those who love to use agendas on me; for most see me as weak, or not so very bright----a tag given to those who love to give and expect nothing in return. For me, being able to give is a far greater gift.

"No good deed goes unpunished"

If i hadn't kicked that pit in the flanks, the little white dog would have bled to death right there in the dirt. The pit was removing his thigh.
I hurt him enough, that he unclenched his death grip.

The owner ne'er thanked me, nor was she even cordial afterwards.
In fact, she was downright nasty to me when next i saw her and on subsequent occasions.

She saw me as a weakling until this day---and was angry that I was not.

Well then, I apologize for being weak-minded. You are a person of courage. Pleased to meet you.

Love yourself. Be well.
