I walk alone too most of the time. When my son comes with me, I love it, cause he can walk Ringo and I can walk Lucy.
I've bout decided to get me a can of pepper spray or something. I love to walk this one trail . . . but can get spooky if no one is there.
Early on, when we just had Ringo, two men had let their German Shephards run loose. Matt reached down and picked Ringo up and their dogs started circling around my son; Ringo was growling and I was scared to death. Meanwhile, the men were calling their dogs - who weren't listening BTW, and yelling at me . . 'They're friendly".
Yeah right. Not when they are circling around my son with his little Westie in his arms.
They called their dogs off; but I've never forgotten how scared I was.
Maybe pepper spray or something is the answer. |
