The way it can arrive unbidden, be so vicious and then leave so quickly leaves you feeling rather foolish afterwards, doesn't it.<br /><br />Melissa, I can sympathise with your experiences with dogs, they're a hazard here too. Though I don't have a dog of my own I like dogs and greatly enjoy exercising my mother's mutt. (Thou shalt not covet Lisa's lovely dog! :) )I seem to be the only person I meet who knows what a lead is though.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-48736157563390509832010-07-09T20:22:57.529+01:002010-07-09T20:22:57.529+01:00I am glad it wasent as bad as you expected.
I am o...I am glad it wasent as bad as you expected.<br />I am often guilty of letting my imagination run at 100 miles an hour. Most the time it is not as bad as we expect.<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-7901591381443684392010-07-08T16:28:03.587+01:002010-07-08T16:28:03.587+01:00My power walks are the only thing I miss about not...My power walks are the only thing I miss about not working any longer. The chemical plant I used to work at was the company's largest in the world, so a walk around the perimeter was close to five miles. I did it every day as long as it wasn't raining, and it kept me in great shape. I tried to maintain that distance here at home when I retired, but too many people around here allow their dogs to run free. Some of them are quite friendly and love to just tag along with you, but others are extremely territorial and run out into the road to confront you. There are few things more terrifying, than a full grown German Shepard standing just inches away from your private parts, and angrily barking his head off. Of course when this happens, their owners are never anywhere in sight. Another neighbor has three little dogs, and they all came barking and nipping at my heels whenever they saw me. Now I just stick to my stationary bike. It's a good work out, but more time is required to get the same calorie burn, so unfortunately the waistline has expanded some. <br /><br />Anyone who has ever suffered a bout with severe depression, can readily sympathize with your feelings. So glad to hear your latest onset just faded away once the stress over your client was removed. <br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.com
