Thank goodness for messaging!

OK, so I was out for my run today, just enjoying the beautiful sunshine and the ability to actually be out running, when I saw on the corner ahead of me a huge German Shepherd. I was a bit nervous as I looked at him and wondered what to do. I decided to go to the far side of the road and hope that I wasn't going to attract his attention. As I got closer and hoped the stars were aligned properly for my lucky day I noticed him stop to check his messages! You see, there was a fire hydrant right there and he must not have checked his messages for a few days because there was enough sniffing going on there to let me pass by completely unnoticed! I was grateful for his instant message abilities!

Last week Tom was out running in Provo along one of his regular work routes when a big old Rotwieler, (I have no idea how to spell that!), came right up to him. He said it was quite a shock and he wasn't all too happy with the owner who he took it out on. Too bad that dog didn't have a message or two to check as Tom ran by!

Dogs....and I have a little rat dog that likes to take any teeny tiny opportunity to escape our house or backyard! I know he has threatened a few people on his escapes. I'm so sorry! Back a few years ago when I was needing something little to nurture, I should have just had a baby instead of getting a cute little puppy!
