We hope y'all doing well.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
We're going to go off a little off topic as
we normally do, and it really relates to what's going
on in the neighborhood. So my question to y'all is,
have you ever been bitten or attacked by an animal?
(00:44):
And if y'all could see Mike's face, it looked like
he might have been somebody.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Would you like to share a story or something? Wow?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Really you always got to put me on the platform
walk fair anyway, Yeah, I can share this story. Back
in when I was with a third grade, I was
a safety with the Penny Packer Elementary School and uh,
you know back then, you know you're safety. We always
getting fights. You're a tough guy. We didn't care. But uh,
(01:13):
one day this German shepherd coming down on top of
hockey and uh, you know how you're running from the
dog all there? You jump over the gate, right to
get away from him. But you know, being this kid,
we being knuckleheads, the gate was open. It's open there.
So the dog was like, okay, oh you think you
(01:35):
fu you think you slick? Right, he went right over like,
oh my god, damn knucklehead me, I'm gonna jump back
over the game.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
And he tore my ankle up. Whow tour my ankle?
Why that's funny? Oh man, I will never forget that day.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
But first of all, what.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Made you jump back over the gate? Well, the ball
coming to bite you?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Man? What you go? Look you when you little know? Right?
I know? Right?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh man? So you know up like come on man,
I'm walking home and my mom you know when it
what happened? I got a bit dub dog.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
So I've never been attacked. Yeah, I've never been attacked
or bitting. I always kept my distance. You always kept
my distance. Now, what's funny is that when you said
being in safety, I'm like orange belts unite like I
was a safety two right, Yeah, but I never Thank goodness,
(02:50):
you know, I've never had that type of experience because
I guess I keep my eyes and ears open, so
you know, like, look it's coming and I threw somebody
else in front of me before.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I tried that. That doesn't work all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah, No, I mean, I just make sure that I
in all honestly, I just make sure I move out
the way. You know, I see the dog coming up
on one side the street, I definitely would make sure
I'm on the other side.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Of the street.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I try that too, I try to jump over the gate. Now,
I mean, maybe was it the fact that you ran.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I was standing. Did he come up to you barking?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Okay, yeah, of course, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And but the crazy part is I knew that gate
had open him too.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Still, that's wild, bro, that's wild.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I mean again, I know for myself that I didn't,
Like I said, I haven't been bitten or attacked. I
thought about it. See, you know, like I said, you
kind of see it coming or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It is. So just paying attention. I mean, I've just
been paying attention.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I've just been lucky that someone else has been around
me to say dog or something, you get what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Back then theyboy to start running and you're like, oh,
oh you see they running, but the dog barking dog,
I'll run you so.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Oh yeah, most definitely most definitely.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I mean, for those of you knows that you know,
Mike and I really are neighbors, and we have a
lot of straight dogs around here, right, you know, a
lot of dogs get loose and just so happened.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It hasn't been too many that that has been mean
like that.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Nah, Because one day it was like four of them,
and I think they came from the same household in
back in my backyard. It was like, what in the world,
I don't know, I think these dogs be running away.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I don't think they running away.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I mean it's like the one one day, you know,
I get to a corner of my block and I
just see this dog just and now I'm in my car.
Dog comes up to the corner right here at the
top of the hill and he just walking running down
the hill right, you know. And I followed him about
(05:17):
a good three blocks. He just running down down the
street just like you said, yeah, like and then and
then he made a left hand turn down there one
of the blocks that I couldn't turn right. But people
other people just stood there as I'm going down the
street behind this dog. Other people trying to They're just
looking at the dog, like where's he going right like
(05:39):
it's almost like he knew where he was going.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Or about to say that too, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And the way he.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Turned the corner like he was the way he was
it wasn't like a full fledged all out run right,
you know, but it.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Was kind of like a nice little trot, like golly, like,
how is he gonna keep this up? Three blocks? You know?
He's well, he gave a run, a marathon like he
keep righting, man. And he sounded like he's trying to
debate to go back to the house.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
And the thing is is that as I'm as I'm
following him because I'm trying to get him to like whatever,
a lady with a dog.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
She just standing there watching him, and she and the
dog just look at the.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Dog just run by like they used to it.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You're like, you know, and I was just like wow,
because I was just amazed, like, hey, the dogs didn't
try to sniff each other or you get right now.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
The dog just kept going.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And then one time the dog stopped in the middle street,
turned around, looked at me in the car, and it
ran back because because the guy there was another guy
from across street. He got off the car. He was like,
hold hold of it, don't go anyway, don't do nothing,
don't do nothing. He was gonna try to get the dog.
The dog ran off.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
The dog knew.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He's like, look, I ain't going back there because you
go on the folk.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
On the neighborhood page, please department. Who dog is this?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
It's like be like pit bull and stuff like that, right,
these like nice friendly dogs?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Right?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Why are they escaping? The whole going on?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I don't know, but it's sh shure enough ran away, right,
I don't know. And I hope that somebody, you know,
was able to get their dog back, you know. But yeah,
that was like the one of the weirdest nights. And
I was on my way to go pick up myself
from work, and it was like the weirdest thing to
just see this dog just running along.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, I mean, like what happened to the good old days?
The dog run up to you and bite you. Don't
do that.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But I mean, but and the thing is is that
for the types of dogs that have been loose, you
would be fearful that they're going to bite you, right,
because because they're not all just little dogs.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And stuff like that. No, no, no, no, no, No,
it's the ones that you wonder like, yeah, you know,
so like.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
You said, they be trying to like how you doing,
Like they're in the neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
They they know the neighborhood, right, I mean, And we
have a neighbor across the street that that it's been
twice that I know of that their dog has gotten out.
And one of those times I had to walk the
dog back. Oh the great dog, the gray one.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Man, in fact, he got away again.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I don't I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I mean, he probably get away all the time because
he's always ripping at his chain to get off, like
you said, to get free, right, one hundred percent of
the time. Like he's always he's always always jumping over
the gate right.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Now.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
One time though he was digging underneath the gate at
one time.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
That's another dog trying to escape, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And now now that he like you said, now he's
a little bigger, now he can he got he could
he can hop over that gate, right.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And that's another They don't walk that wasn't the blue more.
They walk the dog.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I've never seen them walk the dog. I've seen them
leave the dog outside I.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Mean, if you can walk your behind to the store,
right right.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
But see, I think that's maybe that's the reason why
that's what he's free. They're like, listen, I'm mean just
because because I'm I'm tired of being cooped up and
everything else.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I got all this pent up aggression.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Right now, now, all right, So let's just be clear though,
Let's just make sure there's a disclaimer in this. We're
not making fun of fun of this. You know, we
don't condone animal cruelty, right, and we're just talking about
if you've ever been bitten or attacked, that's the idea.
(09:47):
And for someone like myself who hasn't been right you know,
now have I Have I been around animals that kind
of play like the little nip thing or something like that. Yeah,
but a little fledged bitten tacked? No, I haven't, now,
I mean. And again, so so let's again put this
in perspective. The probably the closest I've been to anything
(10:09):
wildlife will be six flags.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You know, when you do the safari thing and they
come up to your car, or they come up to
the When I went to the what's the one in Maryland?
Where you're in the cart. I think it's the cart
where you got where you were. You're actually in an
open air cart or or a truck or something like that.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
It was Maryland, Yeah, I think it's the Six Flags
in Maryland. It's not Maryland, is Virginia. It's one of those.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And yeah, hey, I'm trying to figure out who. Yeah,
they had a Safari reborteds, so come out some kind
of Safari.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, it's like a for the Six Flags down there.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
They because you know, the one in Jersey you actually
ride through it. The one in Maryland is uh because
we didn't drive.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
We we got on one of their vehicles with other people.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Okay, okay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And then uh, and then we rode through that. And
I mean that I just realized that, Hey, I'm not
an animal person. Well, wow, you know what I mean.
I mean, yeah, do I have have We had cats? Yeah,
we have, But it's more for service. It's not funny. Wow,
you know for me anyway, And partly it is because
(11:30):
of my allergies too, man, right, yeah, you get what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
So I think your allergy is worse than minds.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, I mean mine is crazy, and my daughters is
worse than mine. So yeah, like right now we're struggling, right,
I'm struggling right now.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
And my daughter she was allergic to trees.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I mean yeah when I when I had the whole thing,
the whole work up for allergies.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh yeah, I'm almost allergic to everything crazy. That's the
way it felt any the way that you know me.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I would love to open my windows up, get something
that fresh air at night, but I can't do it.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
No, I mean we have to. I mean I've had
to do that because right now I don't feel like
waste of electricity. It's you know, it's cooler outside but
still stuffy inside. It can be yeah, yeah, yeah, I yeah.
So we just haven't done that. We haven't gone that far.
(12:30):
I mean that there's one neighbor that has theirs on,
but for the most part now, I mean, yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I haven't. I haven't.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I haven't kept it on because it's like, hey, like
it's going down to the comfortable sixties, I guess, yeah,
and you know, minds of time, minds good times, right,
and then you know, and then just having the ceiling
fan on, you know, just it's been cool enough, like
last night I was freezing. Don't work now Now I
(13:09):
was going back to the topic. I had a neighbor
at one time who was a male, a postman, and
I remember him talking about him getting bitten and how
that how because of that, he was out of work
(13:32):
for five months, six months, five or six months. Yeah,
he kind of saw the he kind of saw the
dog at the last second because he had gone and
put up the mail, put the mail in the mailbox,
and he turned around as he's walking down the steps.
(13:56):
He's now he sees a dog at the corner of
his eye, and it's as soon as he kind of
turned to face the dog to track himself together, like
get the mace and all this stuff together. As soon
as he kind of turned by the time he saw
the dog, the dog got him on his hip.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, dog got him on his hip. And then.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, as he said, like it was just a rat
from there, I mean he got he actually got the
dog maced, you know, which got the dog off of him.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
But yeah, by the time and then.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Uh so he had to go to therapy and all
this other type of stuff, and he said he had
to get so many tetanus and rabies and all these
other shots.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You know, I'm like, wow, did he get you good?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
He said it was good enough that they said, hey,
I need to get all these shots pretty much, right.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You know. No, it was the owner. I mean that that.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Person in the you never know these days, right, Yeah, No,
it was just it was just a dog protecting his spot,
you know. And that's the way he put it. But yeah,
he just wasn't like that. It was it was just
something that just sporadic. And he said he don't even
know where the dog had come from. He said, dog
didn't bark or anything. Next thing, you know, the dog
was on top of him. That's wild. You know, that's wild.
(15:16):
You know, that's why.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And then.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Another story I had my uncle. He used to have
a Boa constrictor and yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Understand what.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I heard pets, but don't think he smelled kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
No, well no, he actually called him Jake the snake
to funny, but the.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Snake didn't smell funny. Well, I guess for.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Me, I was like, uh, he had it for a
little while. I guess I was in my early teens,
mid teens, somewhere around there, and.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Uh because I would have to.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Uh there was once or twice where I didn't help out,
you know, clean the cage and all stuff, because feeding them,
feeding them rabbits and rats, you know, all that type
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, man, I mean that.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, seeing that was wild, like seeing it in real life,
just constricted and swallowed or whatever, like, yeah, that was
that was crazy. But he said he had to get
rid of the snake because the snake tried to bite him.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Wow. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
The snake was not only trying to try to bite him,
but also was getting too way too big for him
to handle, you know, so he actually had to call
the zoo, and the zoo can't come in.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I think he said the zoo and.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Dat he did that because normally people dumping outside somewhere.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
No no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
He was careful with that. He was careful with that
because he because he cared about animals.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
That's cool. Yeah, he cared about animals.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
But yeah, man, I mean, you know, I just wondering
about y'all, like have y'all ever been bitten or attacked.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And and and what kind of brought it up to
some degree? Like I said, what's been going on in
the neighborhood. But then I saw a video not too
long ago, just talking.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
About how because I you know, when I'm bored, I
look at stupid stuff on YouTube, and you know, and
so how I look at this lady that zoo one
zoo keeper lady that's that's with these lions and tigers,
like all these big cats, and she's always she's playing
(17:37):
with them, but she keeps bopping them on the on
the nose. She goes boop right on they nose. That
that's part of the video, whatever it is. And then
then the video right after that showed another lady zoo
keeper whatever else. She the way she played with those
big cats. She was like kind of putting her arm
in the mouth and all this other type of stuff,
her hand in their mouth or whatever. I'll be too
(17:59):
nervous to do that, right, But you know they trained,
so I get you on that. But you know, how
do you like, how do you know they're not gonna
just flip on you? Like, That's that's my my concern. Well,
they build their relationship with them, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I guess I don't. I don't trust no animal that much.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Remember that knucklehead that chick jumped over the cage.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Which one was yeah, yeah, really right.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
That line could have tore her up if you if
you wanted to.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And but what did she jump over for? Though I
didn't get that part.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
You what people do dumb things, man.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You got to ask themb because you're trying to figure
out yourself, you brain cramp.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
No, it's it's that's I mean, that's to me, that's
wild because you're you're jumping over to impress somebody, to
impress yourself, to show that hey, I can do it.
It's not that bad. But like I said, what if
that line just decided that, hey, I just won half
of you right now?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
But then she did it to another animal too that
same day.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I said, I didn't know that that part.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
This chick people they caught it though. The first of all,
Big Sign said, you know, no trespass. Yeah, well you're
doing talking man. Well, I mean I'm happy she's still alive.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
She ain't happy with that, fine, though.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I bet, I bet.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I mean again, people don't respect the other part of
that is is that people don't respect.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
That's the problem we ever, lack of respect.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Lack of respect, you know, and so you want to
break the rules for what right?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
And the dude just staying there? Go ahead, okay, go ahead,
that's not cool.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I mean she would have stuck her in her arm
through the whole one of the little holes.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Then what right he was gonna jump over there?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Pull around?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
No, I bet you wouldn't be calling her nubby exactly exactly.
You can't sue it too, right, you trespassed.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
And on top of that, the suit had the zoo
has every reason to sue you.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
You can't define stupid people.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Oh no, you can't, not at all, not at all.
But but uh man, I'm sorry that you got bitten
in third grade. I'm glad it wasn't, you know, serious
like that. I'm glad it wasn't serious like that. But
you know, but it's uh, like I said, I don't
know anyone except for you know, my my old neighbor,
(20:33):
or no one outright that's been bitten or like where
they've been maimed or disfigured or something like that where
they lost a finger or something like that. I don't
know anybody like that. You see that that stuff in
the movies and TV shows and things like that.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
But you're talking about Kujo, right right, they say, Man, you.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Know, but otherwise, man, like I don't, I don't.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I haven't had that experience, and I'm thank goodness that
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
The only other closest call for me would be when
I was down south and we were in the woods
at the lake. I can't remember what lake it was,
and water moccasin had come out. But otherwise that's like
the closest.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Wow, a water moccason.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Oh man, listen, man, I ain't nobody playing around with
those snakes, you get what I'd be. But but yeah,
it was a whole bunch of us, So I don't
know if it would have I didn't know what was
on his mind, but yeah, it just came out of
nowhere and just kind of like, yeah, that was the closest.
Everybody jumping up, we all jumping up on benches and
(21:46):
everything else. Yeah, benches, cars, we played with like that,
you know. But yeah, man, I mean so that that's
just been my experience. But uh, but you know, of
course y'all share with y'all experience. Have y'all been, have
y'all had that experience? How did y'all deal with that?
(22:09):
And the last part of that is is that my
last part of that question is like, Mike, for you,
even though you were bitten, do you feel like that
animal should have been put down?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
No, you know, because I think that's the other thing too,
Like as soon as something like that happens, now there's
outrage and people are like, no, the dog needs to
be put down.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
It needs to be I mean, come on, the dog,
it bit beat thet malled me to death, right, I
ain't you know, I ain't to get no surgery or
nothing like that.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
But no, no, you know, I think that's the other
thing too. You know, it's like, hey, we have all
these dog lovers, but as soon as they you know,
go off just a little bit right now, all of
a sudden, you want to put them down like they're
a terror.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well what are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Well, you know, a certain situation we've seen down in
the city.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Uh cats let they pit bulls out and they mauling
other people. They need to be put down. They need
to be put down, and the od's gonna come out
of snapping your You should have to have your dogs
fenced or on the chain something right, something. But you know,
(23:25):
I've seen it quite a few times over the over
the summer.
Speaker 3 (23:29):

We hope y'all doing well.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
We're going to go off a little off topic as
we normally do, and it really relates to what's going
on in the neighborhood. So my question to y'all is,
have you ever been bitten or attacked by an animal?
(00:44):
And if y'all could see Mike's face, it looked like
he might have been somebody.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Would you like to share a story or something? Wow?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Really you always got to put me on the platform
walk fair anyway, Yeah, I can share this story. Back
in when I was with a third grade, I was
a safety with the Penny Packer Elementary School and uh,
you know back then, you know you're safety. We always
getting fights. You're a tough guy. We didn't care. But uh,
(01:13):
one day this German shepherd coming down on top of
hockey and uh, you know how you're running from the
dog all there? You jump over the gate, right to
get away from him. But you know, being this kid,
we being knuckleheads, the gate was open. It's open there.
So the dog was like, okay, oh you think you
(01:35):
fu you think you slick? Right, he went right over like,
oh my god, damn knucklehead me, I'm gonna jump back
over the game.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
And he tore my ankle up. Whow tour my ankle?
Why that's funny? Oh man, I will never forget that day.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
But first of all, what.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Made you jump back over the gate? Well, the ball
coming to bite you?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Man? What you go? Look you when you little know? Right?
I know? Right?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh man? So you know up like come on man,
I'm walking home and my mom you know when it
what happened? I got a bit dub dog.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
So I've never been attacked. Yeah, I've never been attacked
or bitting. I always kept my distance. You always kept
my distance. Now, what's funny is that when you said
being in safety, I'm like orange belts unite like I
was a safety two right, Yeah, but I never Thank goodness,
(02:50):
you know, I've never had that type of experience because
I guess I keep my eyes and ears open, so
you know, like, look it's coming and I threw somebody
else in front of me before.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I tried that. That doesn't work all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah, No, I mean, I just make sure that I
in all honestly, I just make sure I move out
the way. You know, I see the dog coming up
on one side the street, I definitely would make sure
I'm on the other side.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Of the street.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I try that too, I try to jump over the gate. Now,
I mean, maybe was it the fact that you ran.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I was standing. Did he come up to you barking?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Okay, yeah, of course, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And but the crazy part is I knew that gate
had open him too.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Still, that's wild, bro, that's wild.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I mean again, I know for myself that I didn't,
Like I said, I haven't been bitten or attacked. I
thought about it. See, you know, like I said, you
kind of see it coming or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It is. So just paying attention. I mean, I've just
been paying attention.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I've just been lucky that someone else has been around
me to say dog or something, you get what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Back then theyboy to start running and you're like, oh,
oh you see they running, but the dog barking dog,
I'll run you so.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Oh yeah, most definitely most definitely.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I mean, for those of you knows that you know,
Mike and I really are neighbors, and we have a
lot of straight dogs around here, right, you know, a
lot of dogs get loose and just so happened.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It hasn't been too many that that has been mean
like that.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Nah, Because one day it was like four of them,
and I think they came from the same household in
back in my backyard. It was like, what in the world,
I don't know, I think these dogs be running away.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I don't think they running away.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I mean it's like the one one day, you know,
I get to a corner of my block and I
just see this dog just and now I'm in my car.
Dog comes up to the corner right here at the
top of the hill and he just walking running down
the hill right, you know. And I followed him about
(05:17):
a good three blocks. He just running down down the
street just like you said, yeah, like and then and
then he made a left hand turn down there one
of the blocks that I couldn't turn right. But people
other people just stood there as I'm going down the
street behind this dog. Other people trying to They're just
looking at the dog, like where's he going right like
(05:39):
it's almost like he knew where he was going.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Or about to say that too, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And the way he.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Turned the corner like he was the way he was
it wasn't like a full fledged all out run right,
you know, but it.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Was kind of like a nice little trot, like golly, like,
how is he gonna keep this up? Three blocks? You know?
He's well, he gave a run, a marathon like he
keep righting, man. And he sounded like he's trying to
debate to go back to the house.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
And the thing is is that as I'm as I'm
following him because I'm trying to get him to like whatever,
a lady with a dog.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
She just standing there watching him, and she and the
dog just look at the.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Dog just run by like they used to it.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You're like, you know, and I was just like wow,
because I was just amazed, like, hey, the dogs didn't
try to sniff each other or you get right now.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
The dog just kept going.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And then one time the dog stopped in the middle street,
turned around, looked at me in the car, and it
ran back because because the guy there was another guy
from across street. He got off the car. He was like,
hold hold of it, don't go anyway, don't do nothing,
don't do nothing. He was gonna try to get the dog.
The dog ran off.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
The dog knew.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He's like, look, I ain't going back there because you
go on the folk.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
On the neighborhood page, please department. Who dog is this?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
It's like be like pit bull and stuff like that, right,
these like nice friendly dogs?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Right?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Why are they escaping? The whole going on?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I don't know, but it's sh shure enough ran away, right,
I don't know. And I hope that somebody, you know,
was able to get their dog back, you know. But yeah,
that was like the one of the weirdest nights. And
I was on my way to go pick up myself
from work, and it was like the weirdest thing to
just see this dog just running along.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, I mean, like what happened to the good old days?
The dog run up to you and bite you. Don't
do that.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But I mean, but and the thing is is that
for the types of dogs that have been loose, you
would be fearful that they're going to bite you, right,
because because they're not all just little dogs.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And stuff like that. No, no, no, no, no, No,
it's the ones that you wonder like, yeah, you know,
so like.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
You said, they be trying to like how you doing,
Like they're in the neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
They they know the neighborhood, right, I mean, And we
have a neighbor across the street that that it's been
twice that I know of that their dog has gotten out.
And one of those times I had to walk the
dog back. Oh the great dog, the gray one.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Man, in fact, he got away again.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I don't I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I mean, he probably get away all the time because
he's always ripping at his chain to get off, like
you said, to get free, right, one hundred percent of
the time. Like he's always he's always always jumping over
the gate right.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Now.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
One time though he was digging underneath the gate at
one time.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
That's another dog trying to escape, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And now now that he like you said, now he's
a little bigger, now he can he got he could
he can hop over that gate, right.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And that's another They don't walk that wasn't the blue more.
They walk the dog.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I've never seen them walk the dog. I've seen them
leave the dog outside I.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Mean, if you can walk your behind to the store,
right right.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
But see, I think that's maybe that's the reason why
that's what he's free. They're like, listen, I'm mean just
because because I'm I'm tired of being cooped up and
everything else.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I got all this pent up aggression.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Right now, now, all right, So let's just be clear though,
Let's just make sure there's a disclaimer in this. We're
not making fun of fun of this. You know, we
don't condone animal cruelty, right, and we're just talking about
if you've ever been bitten or attacked, that's the idea.
(09:47):
And for someone like myself who hasn't been right you know,
now have I Have I been around animals that kind
of play like the little nip thing or something like that. Yeah,
but a little fledged bitten tacked? No, I haven't, now,
I mean. And again, so so let's again put this
in perspective. The probably the closest I've been to anything
(10:09):
wildlife will be six flags.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You know, when you do the safari thing and they
come up to your car, or they come up to
the When I went to the what's the one in Maryland?
Where you're in the cart. I think it's the cart
where you got where you were. You're actually in an
open air cart or or a truck or something like that.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
It was Maryland, Yeah, I think it's the Six Flags
in Maryland. It's not Maryland, is Virginia. It's one of those.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And yeah, hey, I'm trying to figure out who. Yeah,
they had a Safari reborteds, so come out some kind
of Safari.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, it's like a for the Six Flags down there.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
They because you know, the one in Jersey you actually
ride through it. The one in Maryland is uh because
we didn't drive.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
We we got on one of their vehicles with other people.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Okay, okay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And then uh, and then we rode through that. And
I mean that I just realized that, Hey, I'm not
an animal person. Well, wow, you know what I mean.
I mean, yeah, do I have have We had cats? Yeah,
we have, But it's more for service. It's not funny. Wow,
you know for me anyway, And partly it is because
(11:30):
of my allergies too, man, right, yeah, you get what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
So I think your allergy is worse than minds.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, I mean mine is crazy, and my daughters is
worse than mine. So yeah, like right now we're struggling, right,
I'm struggling right now.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
And my daughter she was allergic to trees.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I mean yeah when I when I had the whole thing,
the whole work up for allergies.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh yeah, I'm almost allergic to everything crazy. That's the
way it felt any the way that you know me.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I would love to open my windows up, get something
that fresh air at night, but I can't do it.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
No, I mean we have to. I mean I've had
to do that because right now I don't feel like
waste of electricity. It's you know, it's cooler outside but
still stuffy inside. It can be yeah, yeah, yeah, I yeah.
So we just haven't done that. We haven't gone that far.
(12:30):
I mean that there's one neighbor that has theirs on,
but for the most part now, I mean, yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I haven't. I haven't.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I haven't kept it on because it's like, hey, like
it's going down to the comfortable sixties, I guess, yeah,
and you know, minds of time, minds good times, right,
and then you know, and then just having the ceiling
fan on, you know, just it's been cool enough, like
last night I was freezing. Don't work now Now I
(13:09):
was going back to the topic. I had a neighbor
at one time who was a male, a postman, and
I remember him talking about him getting bitten and how
that how because of that, he was out of work
(13:32):
for five months, six months, five or six months. Yeah,
he kind of saw the he kind of saw the
dog at the last second because he had gone and
put up the mail, put the mail in the mailbox,
and he turned around as he's walking down the steps.
(13:56):
He's now he sees a dog at the corner of
his eye, and it's as soon as he kind of
turned to face the dog to track himself together, like
get the mace and all this stuff together. As soon
as he kind of turned by the time he saw
the dog, the dog got him on his hip.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, dog got him on his hip. And then.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, as he said, like it was just a rat
from there, I mean he got he actually got the
dog maced, you know, which got the dog off of him.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
But yeah, by the time and then.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Uh so he had to go to therapy and all
this other type of stuff, and he said he had
to get so many tetanus and rabies and all these
other shots.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You know, I'm like, wow, did he get you good?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
He said it was good enough that they said, hey,
I need to get all these shots pretty much, right.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You know. No, it was the owner. I mean that that.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Person in the you never know these days, right, Yeah, No,
it was just it was just a dog protecting his spot,
you know. And that's the way he put it. But yeah,
he just wasn't like that. It was it was just
something that just sporadic. And he said he don't even
know where the dog had come from. He said, dog
didn't bark or anything. Next thing, you know, the dog
was on top of him. That's wild. You know, that's wild.
(15:16):
You know, that's why.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And then.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Another story I had my uncle. He used to have
a Boa constrictor and yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Understand what.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I heard pets, but don't think he smelled kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
No, well no, he actually called him Jake the snake
to funny, but the.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Snake didn't smell funny. Well, I guess for.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Me, I was like, uh, he had it for a
little while. I guess I was in my early teens,
mid teens, somewhere around there, and.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Uh because I would have to.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Uh there was once or twice where I didn't help out,
you know, clean the cage and all stuff, because feeding them,
feeding them rabbits and rats, you know, all that type
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, man, I mean that.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, seeing that was wild, like seeing it in real life,
just constricted and swallowed or whatever, like, yeah, that was
that was crazy. But he said he had to get
rid of the snake because the snake tried to bite him.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Wow. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
The snake was not only trying to try to bite him,
but also was getting too way too big for him
to handle, you know, so he actually had to call
the zoo, and the zoo can't come in.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I think he said the zoo and.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Dat he did that because normally people dumping outside somewhere.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
No no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
He was careful with that. He was careful with that
because he because he cared about animals.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
That's cool. Yeah, he cared about animals.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
But yeah, man, I mean, you know, I just wondering
about y'all, like have y'all ever been bitten or attacked.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And and and what kind of brought it up to
some degree? Like I said, what's been going on in
the neighborhood. But then I saw a video not too
long ago, just talking.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
About how because I you know, when I'm bored, I
look at stupid stuff on YouTube, and you know, and
so how I look at this lady that zoo one
zoo keeper lady that's that's with these lions and tigers,
like all these big cats, and she's always she's playing
(17:37):
with them, but she keeps bopping them on the on
the nose. She goes boop right on they nose. That
that's part of the video, whatever it is. And then
then the video right after that showed another lady zoo
keeper whatever else. She the way she played with those
big cats. She was like kind of putting her arm
in the mouth and all this other type of stuff,
her hand in their mouth or whatever. I'll be too
(17:59):
nervous to do that, right, But you know they trained,
so I get you on that. But you know, how
do you like, how do you know they're not gonna
just flip on you? Like, That's that's my my concern. Well,
they build their relationship with them, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I guess I don't. I don't trust no animal that much.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Remember that knucklehead that chick jumped over the cage.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Which one was yeah, yeah, really right.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
That line could have tore her up if you if
you wanted to.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And but what did she jump over for? Though I
didn't get that part.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
You what people do dumb things, man.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You got to ask themb because you're trying to figure
out yourself, you brain cramp.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
No, it's it's that's I mean, that's to me, that's
wild because you're you're jumping over to impress somebody, to
impress yourself, to show that hey, I can do it.
It's not that bad. But like I said, what if
that line just decided that, hey, I just won half
of you right now?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
But then she did it to another animal too that
same day.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I said, I didn't know that that part.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
This chick people they caught it though. The first of all,
Big Sign said, you know, no trespass. Yeah, well you're
doing talking man. Well, I mean I'm happy she's still alive.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
She ain't happy with that, fine, though.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I bet, I bet.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I mean again, people don't respect the other part of
that is is that people don't respect.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
That's the problem we ever, lack of respect.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Lack of respect, you know, and so you want to
break the rules for what right?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
And the dude just staying there? Go ahead, okay, go ahead,
that's not cool.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I mean she would have stuck her in her arm
through the whole one of the little holes.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Then what right he was gonna jump over there?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Pull around?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
No, I bet you wouldn't be calling her nubby exactly exactly.
You can't sue it too, right, you trespassed.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
And on top of that, the suit had the zoo
has every reason to sue you.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
You can't define stupid people.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Oh no, you can't, not at all, not at all.
But but uh man, I'm sorry that you got bitten
in third grade. I'm glad it wasn't, you know, serious
like that. I'm glad it wasn't serious like that. But
you know, but it's uh, like I said, I don't
know anyone except for you know, my my old neighbor,
(20:33):
or no one outright that's been bitten or like where
they've been maimed or disfigured or something like that where
they lost a finger or something like that. I don't
know anybody like that. You see that that stuff in
the movies and TV shows and things like that.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
But you're talking about Kujo, right right, they say, Man, you.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Know, but otherwise, man, like I don't, I don't.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I haven't had that experience, and I'm thank goodness that
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
The only other closest call for me would be when
