| Can you see me now? |
We had three close calls during our walk tonight. Linda took us out at 6:30 after she got home from the gym. It was really dark by that time, but that's never stopped us before. The first accident was a bad fall. Someone had trimmed their bushes and trees and had the entire sidewalk piled high with pieces of branches. Since the branches were the same shade as the sidewalk, Linda did not see it and tripped! Chimmie had walked out into the street (bad dog!) to avoid the branches and Linda turned to look at him and ran smack into the branches. She is going to take a bunch of photos of it tomorrow and show the nice home owners president who is her friend. I'm so glad I was in my carrier and did not fall out and Linda did not get any injuries. The second scary thing was probably fine, but it freaked Linda out. We were on a dark cul-de-sac when a stranger-man came slinking out of his dark garage right up to us, and reached out to pet me in the carrier on Linda's chest. She wasn't sure if he was trying to get her and it's a good thing she didn't use her ninja skills and drop him. Lastly, we were almost home when a car came close to running us over. Linda was stopped at the curb to pick up Chim (I was still in the carrier) since we are NEVER allowed to walk across the street ourselves. A car was coming straight down the main road going pretty quick with no blinker on, so we figured it was staying straight. She stepped off the curb to cross and at the last minute it turned fast down the side street we were crossing. If Chim or I would have been on our retractable leash in front of her, we would have been dead. The driver saw as at the last second and swerved just as Linda jumped back. I'm glad we are home safe and sound. Maybe for Christmas Linda should get us those retractable leashes that have little flashlights built in the handles so her Angels don't have to work so hard!
