Dogs!

Today mom wanted us out of the house so she could get ready for her high school reunion that she was hosting. Becky and I took the girls into town to get a manicure, then after some shopping (we stopped at the candy store again) we got Subway and drove down to the river bottom to have a picnic. After we ate and the girls played on the playground for a bit, we decided to walk to the river. Up ahead of us there was a young hipster dufus with his mean looking Rottweiler. Becky and I were both wary but Becky thought it looked like he was leashed to the park bench. As we walk toward him hesitantly, the dog runs toward us barking. My immediate thought was, "He's going to eat us!" Becky yelled, "What the *&@#!" The guy was pretty quick to respond and started apologizing. "I'm so sorry. I thought he was chained up. He's never done that before. He's never bit anyone." The adrenaline was pumping and I said, "Everyone who has a dog says that!" Maybe when you see three little girls walking up you should make sure that your bred for fighting dog is actually secure.
