Ouch
So yesterday I'm walking along the Lafayette-Moraga trail on my afternoon constitutional, a route I've taken a hundred times before, and this giant white killer dog, a
Great Pyrenees came crashing through an iron gate and out into the street where it tried to rip my leg off. Ok, it bit me once pretty hard and then ran back to its yard, but still it seemed worse than that. The creature ripped my jeans and put a hole in my calf. I spoke with a couple of neighbors there, and later on the phone with the dogs owner to make sure the dogs shots were up to date and that they knew it could get out of the gate. They promised to put a new lock on the gate and keep the dog tied in the meanwhile, and offered to show me the dog's vet papers... they were pretty nice about it actually. I thought about making a big stink but decided just to bandage up my leg and go on with life... today I'm sitting at home and not taking any walks. Not that I'm afraid of dogs, I'm waiting for some computer equipment that is supposed to be delivered by UPS today, at least that is the claim the tracking site makes. We'll see. 15 days until I'll be in Washington DC.
