Sometimes owners can take precautions (as you clearly did Kath) but sometimes you just can't take the risk - like River, I'd had to think what would have happened if our cat had been Grizzlewick, aged two.gigglewickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920541341649189801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-77216306210064742602008-08-10T10:44:00.000+02:002008-08-10T10:44:00.000+02:00Franzy--"miserable, freezing rain and" HAIL.

There were lots of little kids living in our street and I didn't want to take any chances. He was very timid and a fear biter. attacking when afraid. We got him from a backyard breeder when he was 6 weeks old and didn't realise at the time how dysfunctional he was. By 8 months we knew, and when he attacked me during a training lesson, we knew what we had to do.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-67664795147560396862008-08-10T10:27:00.000+02:002008-08-10T10:27:00.000+02:00Oh and Franzy.

If Tess wasn't muzzled (a very sad decision we'd had to make in itself, don't you think?) she would have sunk her jaws into that kid's face.<BR/><BR/>Friendly nips etc all fine but Tess quite clearly saw the world outside of our house as one she had to protect us from. We tearfully talked about building a special enclosure that we could put her in when friends and family visited but we knew that as Sapph (who was 2 then) got older it may be tempting for her or a friend to undo the gate or poke Tess through a gap and....Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-27954315064841022212008-08-10T03:03:00.000+02:002008-08-10T03:03:00.000+02:008.
