Warrior General Games

So my damn escape-artist dog took full advantage of my kid being momentarily distracted while he had the front door open. Got out, took off across the street into neighbor's yard with me in hot pursuit. Neighbor has HER dog outside in the back yard on a long leash, basically a metal cable wrapped in a plastic sheath. My dog is excited to see other dog, and other dog is thrilled to suddenly have company, but dogs are unpredictable and can turn quickly, so I just want to tackle my dog and drag him home ASAP. As I'm trying to get my dog, other dog thinks I'm there to play too and gets his leash wrapped around my left leg right below the knee -- and then tears off away from me at max speed to get me to chase him, yanking the leash tight around my leg before I can escape.

Happened two hours ago, and it STILL fucking hurts. Think really bad rope-burn.

Anyway, just thought I'd give y'all someone to point and laugh at while we all languish in quarantine here in the United States of Coronavirus!

Hey Novus, you have to have bad days or you would never appreciate the good ones.

Our dog thinks it's a cat. Of the shame of it all.

Before I met my now-current wife, she had a dog like that. She got her as a puppy when she already had two cats but no other dogs, so the puppy decided to just copy everything the cats would do -- including jumping up on counters, furniture, even the tops of tall bookshelves. As a puppy, the dog was about the same size as the cats and didn't get much larger as an adult, so everywhere the cats could go, the dog could go too.
