RE: The Stray Dog Motorcycle Mishap: Injured Due to Some Annoying Dogs
OUCH! glad you guys weren't hurt worse, but this looks bad enough. it's true... i've yet to see an aggressive dog here... wonder what it is with that one or two... rabid? stay safe.
as for your gash, i cannot proclaim the healing virtues of coconut oil loudly enough. this gash, which got no stitches, is BARELY SEEABLE now. it shocked me how easy it was to completely heal this rather deep wound:
My theory with these dog lies in a cross between their being inbred and the fact that we're the only white people on this neighborhood of pretty dark Mexicans. I know my first dog Smoky was racist to black people because for the first six years of her life she was raised by only white people in a little rural town. When she moved in with us in the hood she had a hard time not freaking out when she saw our black neighbor, despite us being friendly with him and his dogs. I thought it always had to do with the fact that she'd always seen people with light skin and the one with dark skin threw her off. I was the lady walking the dog apologizing to the dark people she barked at with lines like "She's a rescue, from the country, I'm sorry"
But couple that with some dogs that are pretty much retarded and you've got a pack of dogs that's pretty stupid and scared of some white people LOL They bark at like no one else.
@lily-da-vine: i have encountered racist dogs before, and it is a trip! i mean, with people... i can at least wrap my head around the learned hatred and undisturbed ignorance... but for an animal to behave that way... it's kinda sad that i've come to expect more egalitarian behavior from THEM, then i do two-leggeds... and usually, you CAN count on it to be that way, lol they usually sense your VIBE (which is truly how i want to be seen/sensed, anyway), not your portfolio or ancestry.
just like Smoky may have had a memory of bad treatment from a black person, these ruffians on your hill might have a memory of bad treatment from a gringo? though that seems unlikely as you guys are pretty much the first to reside there.
you're so cute, to have apologized for your country dog :-)
Yeah I know dogs tend to freak out on about anything that comes their way out of the routine. I've seen dogs that couldn't be around kids for that reason. It's "you're dark/light/tiny/huge/male/female and I think that's weird" lol.
As for our hill, we're the first gringos to come. Our neighbors if anything have the impression that we sleep all day and do nothing based off my skin color and eye color but I can't blame them LOL. So I just do by best to break the norm.
As for smokey, It makes a difference when the owner recognizes the issue and makes up for it lol. She had no clue she was being racist XD
