So, this morning I had a serious scare. One of my neighbors has a white pit bull, and I was walking my dogs by his house, he jumped out of his backyard and came running at us. I was terrified. I thought he was going to kill my dogs. Rascal would probably be the most likely to defend herself, but she was tethered to me. I had her leash wrapped all around my wrist. I freed her from me and she kind of danced around him and I was kicking him to try and get him away from her.
Eventually he stopped and sat down. I was worried he'd snap at me, but I let him sniff my hand and he didn't seem hostile so I grabbed his collar and took him to his front door. His owner seemed to take forever to get there. Thankfully he wasn't actually serious about hurting my dogs. I know that pit bulls are powerful dogs. I have one of my own, after all. I know from all the research I have done on them that they can do a lot of damage when they set their mind to it.
Thankfully this dog was not in the mind to do damage. I think, in hind sight, he wanted to show them that it was his turf and they had best recognize that. I'm proud of how well behaved my dogs were in the whole thing. They didn't run away from me when I released their leashes and walked on either side of me and stayed there when I handed the dog back over.
I think I have the best pitty in the world. Love my mongrels.
I've been trying not to snack, but work is giving us free knock off cheezits. My co-worker brought them to the box and I had some. Damn things are addictive. I never should have started. I chugged down a ton of water to try and get myself to stop and it worked pretty well. My job is trying to sabotage me. So much for trying to encourage us to be healthy.
On the bright side, the pile on my table is getting smaller and smaller. I think some sausage i filtched from my parent's house, potatoes, and eggs will be on the menu for breakfast tomorrow. No idea what I'm going to eat for lunch though. I might brown some ground beef in soup mix, make some instant mash potatoes and mix everything up with peas and carrots.
Hmmmmm....
So not heartbroken about peas not being "Paleo" or whatever. I'll eat them! but I can live without them.
