Scariest thing your GSD have done

[LaRen616]

My GSD Sinister scared the daylights out of me 2 nights ago. I dont live in the most fantastic neighborhood, usually people get shot at about 3 blocks away from my house in any direction. My street seems to be in a "safe bubble". Anyways my boyfriend had gone to sleep and it was just me and Sin watching an episode of Dog Whisperer "Most Aggressive Breeds and GSD's were number 2 on the list I believe ." So I'm sitting on the couch and Sin is laying next to the couch and he starts growling. At first I thought he was snoring (he snores and its kinda loud) but then he gets up and the hair on the back my his neck is kinda raised and he runs at the front door, starts barking and showing his teeth, while digging at the bottom of the door. Now I'm freaking out , I run and wake up my BF and have him go out there with Sin and check it out . What do they find??? Nothing. Scared the poo right out of me I tell you.

Well I wasn't there when this happened, but it's still scary to think about.
A few years ago, we were living in an apartment in Germany, it was the 2nd floor but it was 1.5 stories up since there was half a staircase to the main floor.

Normally we'd leave Djenga loose in the spare bedroom when we went out...she didn't need to be crated but I didn't trust her loose in the whole house. So the back room it was. It was summertime, and my husband and I were going grocery shopping. We opened the window (no A/C in Germany) and left her in the bedroom.

When we came back, our neighbor was standing outside with a GSD on a leash, and I thought to myself "Wow that looks just like Djenga...when did they get a dog??"
We got out of the car and she came up to me - it WAS Djenga!!! I asked how she got out and the neighbor told me that the kids had set up their kiddy pool right under our window, and were out there playing when she jumped through the screen and out the window to go play.

Djenga is completely obsessed with water and splashing it drives her crazy. I never thought about the kids with the pool tempting her to jump out the window! But luckily she wasn't hurt at all, and she is the friendliest dog and always played with the kids all the time when I took her out, so they weren't afraid to catch her for me.

I'm gonna have nightmares and I can't even think about it.. really.. I just keep thanking God that they're alright... I think I"m gonna lose some sleep, and perhaps some hair, tonight!

What a heart stopper! Glad everything turned out okay.

He sure wasn't doing it for nothing! Someone or something was close enough to get his attention. If there is one thing I learned from my last GSD, it was always believe the dog. Don't second guess them because they know something is wrong way before we do.

I looked back at her and she was there 6 feet away looking right through me still going off on whatever she thought she sensed, and it made my hair stand up and gave me goosebumps. I certainly would not want her looking at me for real and going off like that.

For a couple of weeks after every time I let her out back she would run out and growl and bark at that corner by the gate. It's the only time since I rescued her I have seen what her aggressive potential looks like.

Believe the dog, BELIEVE THE DOG! Something was there!

When we lived semi-rural, two young men dressed in black pants and long sleeved white shirts came up the driveway. I assumed they were from some church and politely sent them on their way. About 10 minutes later my GSD, (adult about 7 yrs old) went ballistic at something in the woods. Full snarl, growling, snapping like an alligator - I saw spit flying from her mouth. I felt very uneasy and called her back to me. We went in the house and waited for my husband to get home. When I told him what happened, he took her on a leash and went into the woods by the house. She went to one particular spot, sniffed around like crazy and was growling. My husband came back out of the woods with a piece of white cloth he got off some thorn bushes. It was a piece of white shirt material and was clean so it had not been there for long. I figured those guys had been in the woods watching the house and they sure weren't from any church. Thankfully, my dog frightened them away. They don't know how lucky they were, for if they had dared come up to the house she would have attacked them.

The scariest thing Sigurd has done was eat pieces off of a block of mouse poison (we were at a friends when it happened). We induced vomiting and gave him a laxative and got him on a round of Vitamin K pills for 2 weeks. I wrote all about it on here when it happened. The second scariest thing was when he had some sort of "seizure" episode a couple weeks after eating the poison (it was so sad and scary to watch ). I asked my Vet about it, and since it was a one time thing, she didn't feel it necessary to put him through testing, medications, etc. It's possibly related. He's been fine ever since that one episode - thank God!

scariest thing with maryjane is when we first got her she was very skiddish, when the front door was open she would dart out. well one day she took off and i chased her like two blocks down. and well she ended up in a yard with this huge chained up pit. and the pit started attacking her and maryjane couldnt get up. she finally got away. thank god she was not seriously hurt. but i have never been that scared for her ever. thank god since then she has gotten better and has not tried that again.

Yeah I know, city is dumb.

I work for lawyers and I wrote a Demand letter to the city. In this Demand letter, I wrote that if Phenix develop any anomalies (regarding hips, legs, or other bones) during his growing, or after and if this was relates to the acident, I will, for sure, take the city for responsible of it. Never got any answer, but I do keep all proofs with me.
