Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 7:26 pm Post subject: Went for a Walk down the Glen |
|
|
I took Alfie a walk down the glen about 6.30. I passed a few boys drinking and they were shouting abuse at me and calling Alfie a wee carpet slipper, and the nightmare began Alfie barked at them and they started throwing stones. I got off my mark pretty quickly. I think the next time I venture down the glen I will have company |

Christine, carry a mobile phone with you and report that kind of behaviour. Throwing stones at you and the dog is completely unacceptable never mind the verbal!
There have been others who have been on the receiving end of grief down the glen which is partly why we choose to walk in company.
If you are thinking of going down, post it on the forum and see if anyone is available to walk with you.
Safety in numbers. |

Report it to the police............nothing can be done unless we tell the authorities what is going on. This will be a the same people who cause our dogs to get cut pads
You are correct having some company is important...........if Murphy, Tino, Dodge, Kaiser or the like were there it may have been a little different. _________________ John Thomson

Thanks Marcella and John I did call the police when I got home they said they would send someone down to the house. (still waiting) The only reason I went to the glen was Scott's mum stays in Kildrum and I had been there for dinner, so as I missed the 4.15 Croy walk I thought I would take a walk around the Glen. Next time will be safety in numbers. |

Or give me a call... I'm 2 mins away from the glen and just itching to exact some good old fashioned retribution for all the anti-dog BS that these neds get up to |

Aye, definitely report it, the more reports the police get of trouble down there the more they'll do about it, shame they ruined your walk |

Hi Christine.
Hope you and Alfie are ok.
I agree with the sentiment in the posts above.
Report this and any other incident immediately and try when ever to walk in company.
StuartW, you sound like your a little angry. I feel pretty angry too. I am sure we would all like to exact some justice
on these little ...... But we would end up getting on the wrong side of the Coppers.

Absolutely.. I would never cause any deliberate harm to anyone but reserve my right to defend myself. If someone shouts at me, I shout back.. if they throw stones at me, I throw them back (metaphorically speaking, of course). |
