because i screamed for his wife to "get your fucking dog" in front of
his three daughters when their german shepherd charged luce and i in
the street as we were walking away from them. (i had seen that the
dogs were loose, so i made a u-turn in an effort to get out of there)

now, i don't remember dropping the f-bomb, but i was scared and
alarmed and pissed off so it's entirely possible. when faced with a
hackled, tooth-showing large dog, people say stuff that maybe they
shouldn't.

i told him that if he kept his dog on his property it wouldn't be a
problem. he didn't much like that answer.

i'm so sick of this.

and no, nobody got up to retrieve the dog. thankfully when i stepped
toward it and yelled in its face, it backed off. but one of these days
i'm going to get eaten, pepper spray or no. and i'm really not in the
mood.


Sometimes, when we still lived in town, my husband and I would walk after
dark, after it cooled down a bit. Usually we carried an old axe handle with
us. I guess the axe part had broken off, it was just the handle. One night
the cops were patrolling as we were walking through the park parking lot.
They pulled up next to us to ask 'why we were carrying that big club?" My
husband said, 'for protection' and I added 'from big loose dogs.' That
seemed to satisfy their curiosity, plus I guess we didn't *look* like a
couple vandels out to smash windshields.

Don't worry about it, I'm sure I dropped the F bomb a couple times in my
long life, when the situation warranted. I've forgotten where you live, but
how about a concealed carry permit? That should make people sit up and take
notice that you mean business. Believe me, I'd like to pull a Suzanne
Sugarbaker, and pull a .357 out of my purse once in awhile. ;-]
