good run. i was tired when i finised the hard part and had about 8 left. phew. anywho, i was about half way out on my run and i see this dog ahead (oh no, not another dog story by lisa. actaully second dog story of the day. a couple other dogs barked at me just a half mile or so before but didn't come off their property. still weary of them though). so i saw a dog wandering around way ahead of me so i stooped to pick up some rocks in case i need them. (note to self: buy more pepper spray). but i got past where the dog had been and i didn't see it anywhere so i chucked the rocks. a while later i hear the dog just behind me and it runs past me. then a truck came by and it starts chasing the truck and meanders away. all over the place. it was having a lovely ol' time...but it came back. it always came back. chase something, explore a yard, run through a field, run up to someone else, stop traffic...it always came back. i knew, after a couple of miles, that i wouldn't be able to get rid of it. i was too tired to run hard and hope it couldn't keep a fast pace for miles on end, and when it had been about 4 miles, i was hoping it would stay with me so i could call its owners when i got back. it's not a very bright dog, i think. stopped traffic on main street when i was waiting to cross. i had my back turned away from traffic and then heard a truck slow down. light was still red. and the dog was in the middle of the lane. stupid thing. i had to keep calling it back to stop it from chasing trucks. it's currently in my backyard. i hope its owners come soon. oh well, at least it's friendly (and has had its shots) |
