Scary!

This morning I was walking Zap. It's cold (below 60 degrees) and foggy, so when I took him out, I put him in his Halloween Costume. (He peed on his coat yesterday and it hadn't made it's way through the laundry when it was time to walk, but I don't like to take him in the cold without a jacket.)

So as we were walking, we went by a park area that's in my tract. All of a sudden through the mist, I see this giant black dog running at us through the mist. The dog, a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix weighed over 100 pounds. He barked as he was running, Zap started whining, so I threw my body around Zap's and yelled "No!" The dog's owner comes running after him yelling, "he's a good dog..." Zap is normally afraid of big dogs because he was the victim of a pack attach at Hemopet.

Anyway, the own of the large dog puts his collar and leash on him and tells me over and over again how friendly her dog, Bongo, is. Bongo and Zap started sniffing each others butts and wieners and started standing next to each other as we talked. We said our goodbyes and Zap left the incident with a confident bounce in his walk.

Glad to hear things worked out.

I am also glad that I am not a dog. That is all.

Maybe that Bongo dog came running over because he liked Zap's bee suit and wanted to ask where he could get one, too. I might do that, even though I already have a lovely pumpkin suit and a glorious princess dress. I don't have a coat, though.

I'm glad Bongo didn't turn out to be mean. I don't like mean dogs. It's a good thing that Zap found out that big dogs aren't always mean. He will stand up straighter next time.

It was probably closer to 50 degrees. I know that that it doesn't rate with you hearty folks from the center of the country, but I am not used to it. :)

Annie, my daughter Maddie and I were mulling over what Bongo's mom would say.

I can just imagine, "Bongo and I were playing in the park and out of the mist came a giant black bumblebee and Bongo had to investigate..."
