Someone asked me about the dog thing... When I got out of the car at the yard, this very large black and brown dog flew off a porch stoop at the nearby house. As this man eating beast made a bee line for me, all I could think of is which pound of flesh I was to loose! In the less than 4 seconds it took her to reach me, my heart rate elevated to the danger zone. When in Rome...so I headed straight at her and she stopped in her tracks. Thank God! We had a good two hour walk through the yard, she never left my side except to check out a few good smells here and there. I'm glad she wanted to be friends! And to all a good night! John |
