You have a point. The two legged beasties were certainly surprised at a Pomeranian owner spraying their "viscious" dogs with pepper stream! If they don't retaliate, might have even taught them a lesson. Am going to the cop shop for a similar discussion, and state parks as well. Next step: plan on talking to our local publisher, and see if i can get an article published, without my name on it. Unfortunately, my fear in this day and age is retaliation. But i do need to get community involvement on this.........i live in too nice a place to have problems like this. Thanks for the good words.
