Aug. 5th, 2013 12:23 pmTripper got pepper-sprayed by the mailman today! Repeatedly. He's fine, because apparently they're using some really mild spray, it didn't even stop him charging.
The main issue is that when Paige went out immediately to grab him (somebody left hte door unlatched and he charged it open, Paige ran out after him) the man kept spraying /in her direction/ as she tried to grab Tripper, and then swore at her.
Dad got home pretty much right after, and when he heard that, he chased down the mailman in his car to tell him off (for the swearing obvs).
Overall, an embarrassing incident...we need to get a mailbox at the road, or just stop having them deliver and go pick up the mail ourselves. Honestly, neither our family nor our dog are well-suited to suburban living. I want to just fence in the yard and be done with it TBQH but nobody else is in favor of that, something to do with actually desiring contact with other people.
