Nope, not that I know of. ;) The general plan, at this point, is if I can sell my house to crash with one of the parental units until I can find a suitable place to rent or buy. Ultimately I'd *like* to find a rental place for a while with enough acres to keep a small flock of sheep, but I'd just settle at this point for a place that'll help me keep the doggers happy!<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for the kind words and thoughts. I hope the Noodle doesn't have many permanent scars. I know my dog, though, and he won't forget it completely EVER. Neither will I. But we'll recover, move on, and be stronger for it.Laura Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752781068707907365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-77658717330583527092009-01-29T23:14:00.000-05:002009-01-29T23:14:00.000-05:00Are you going to find someone else to move to?Are you going to find someone else to move to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-47968524117862807692009-01-29T12:38:00.000-05:002009-01-29T12:38:00.000-05:00Wow, I'm glad you're both OK.

Even now, when I think back, my heart speeds up a bit. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like Noodleman doesn't have any emotional scars from it. Lucky him! He's such a good boy. :)Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804767712054016450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-11547685692066992612009-01-28T22:30:00.000-05:002009-01-28T22:30:00.000-05:00Some people just have no clue!

No, we're not walking down that street again. I may, however, go over and talk to the guy about what happened, though. <BR/><BR/>I took Nick out this AM, and we walked up the street but avoided THAT street. Nick acted normal for him, which was very good. My back is a hair unhappy today, but otherwise physically I'm feeling OK, and Nick appears to be also.<BR/><BR/>I'm to call Goho tomorrow - and hopefully the next phase of rehab will involve something other than wandering around leash walking. Julie you might be seeing me alot. lolLaura Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752781068707907365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-12591242263359686932009-01-28T10:19:00.000-05:002009-01-28T10:19:00.000-05:00Laura,I think I'd leave the police and AC out of i...Laura,<BR/>I think I'd leave the police and AC out of it at this point. You're right that it could do more harm than good. It's a big enough neighborhood that you can avoid that particular street, and soon enough Nick will be on a different rehab routine and hopefully you won't have to worry about walking him around that area.Julie Poudrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840024697696827161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-68861824657491099102009-01-28T07:31:00.000-05:002009-01-28T07:31:00.000-05:00You have illustrated why I won't walk my dogs in m...You have illustrated why I won't walk my dogs in my neighborhood. Dogs I have no problem with, it's the idiots who can't/won't contain them. Although it sounds like this guy took responsibility, odds are it will happen again. Why not get yourself a treadmill- they are often cheap on craigslist. You and Nick can exercise, safely, together. You can say all the F-bombs you like. I hope you wake up to a better morning.<BR/>Hugs to you.Dancing shepherdesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864498014986609858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-87795564298383998582009-01-27T23:29:00.000-05:002009-01-27T23:29:00.000-05:00Geeze Louise Woman!

I once was walking a pup out in the desert at a dog trial, and this BC came out of no where, and took a swipe at my pup. I picked the pup up and held it over my head and damned if the BC didnt keep jumping up as I was trying to walk away snapping at my pup, but he could only jump up to about my face height! Scary shit. The owner came walking along finally, after a few minuets, and just called the dog and yelled from across the desert, Oh, sorry.....Grrrrr. Poor Nick, poor you.

I managed to not drown my anxiety in either alcohol or food - I went on with my plan for dinner after all. Thanks for all of the support.<BR/><BR/>He never even slowed down. You know how sometimes normal dogs will stop (even if they've been running) and sniff and posture before doing something one way or the other? Not him - he never even checked up.<BR/><BR/>Now my family wants to know if I'm calling the police or animal control. I have no idea what I should do. It's not wise to make enemies around here, IMO.Laura Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752781068707907365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-47066694261416273352009-01-27T22:09:00.000-05:002009-01-27T22:09:00.000-05:00Yikes--that sounds just awful.
