The Incident

The Incident

Start of a new year 2020. As I write this its Nov 22nd 2021. Life and work has created a situation where I haven't had time to update my blog. I haven't been taking photos of the good camera, just a few life photos on my phone. My career I think has turned a corner and now i'm working ALL the time. This combined with not traveling that much, living a domestic life, and the dog has made it so this blog has taken a back back back seat to everything else. So now i have 23 months of blog posts to do, lets see what i can remember

January 1st 2020. Tacos El Brother truck, dunno if they started making birria tacos at this point but the birria craze hits park slope eventually in 2020 and they are they only place in the area to get them that i know of

at the closer dog park which is dirt which turns to mud in the rain, dubu is not impressed

squirrel hunting

i think there was another party after the new year, for what reason I don't know

here Dubu is at the other dog park, things are fine. This is 3 weeks after adopting him, We went twice without incident

The 3rd time we went to the park there was an incident. It all happened so fast. One of the owners said they saw their dog trying to hump Dubu. Dubu retaliated to the point that this dog had to get a lot of stitches at the emergency room. It already only had one eye and I turned around to see its other eye bloody. We offered to pay for the bill and they said how about half and use the other half for a dog trainer. For the next year we would think that Dubu is a killer. After almost 2 yrs of ownership now and several dog meetings per day on the NYC sidewalks he is not a killer. I've now read dog parks are bad and the wild west and our dog trainer said the same. The options are fight or flight and dog parks remove the option of flight

life has to continue on knowing dubu is a potential killer. We got a dog trainer Canine Cohen which was good, every new dog owner should have to get a dog trainer.
