well, the new freedom of having a fenced in yard has brought out Hemingway's ugly side. It goes something like this: he's getting into something I don't want him to, or digging, or barking at a neighbor. I go grab him by the collar to bring him away from whatever is sparking his interest, he immediately starts trying to bite at the hand that his holding his collar, but I don't let go because damn it, I'm the boss. So He's biting at my arm and flailing around, I'm trying to get a better grip with my other hand (he's 130 lbs now) but can't because he's trying to bite it (and does-I have welts on my arms) I try to move forward, he collapses in the grass, and this all escalates to the point that I'm practically flashing the neighbors because my shirt is all pulled to the side, we're both on the ground, I'm saying NO! He's answering me with a BARK! My hair is a mess and I'm sweating and he's frothing at the mouth, and when I look in his eyes I see nothing but rage. Literally the only thing I can think to do is get him down and sit on him but it's not working anymore because he nearly outweighs me. My sweet loving puppy has a very dark side. My hands and wrists are throbbing. and I don't know whether to cry or punch the wall.
