If this needs to be moved that's fine.
A little bit better. Pain is semi-maintained. A little neighborhood drama early this morning that I felt it necessary to get involved in :cautious:.Always amazed that others are so recluctant to police their neighborhood from morons but I never am,especially when they decide to take joy ride on the the private course in the yard near my yard, tearing it to pieces thinking it is an abandon field. I feel like I'm willing, ALWAYS to stick my neck out to say, "HEY!!! Take your destructive behaviour elsewhere, I don't want it my backyard, my neighborhood, my space. If you can't get that I'm more that willing get help to spell it out for you, moron."
I guess they see some old broad or maybe they can't see that far. When I got closer they were not as young as I thought (????) I had grab Big Girl and my pack with my assorted "back up" (I'm not stupid, I go no where without appropriate gear) to try to get a license plate. As I was crossing near, two guys came out, after they had turned the lights back on and let out a pit bull. For those of you that know I have a HUGE phobia of pits, traumas from them-scars and screams still in my mind from a sweet little dog having suffered life long injuries from one, etc.this could have completely undone me, I'm guessing they just figured the thing would scare me off.So this pit was off lease and on Big Girl like lightening when I hit it with Mace...it was nothing but tail between it's legs and gone within seconds HA!! Buh bye!! We just took back some power both Big Girl and I.
We faced our fear, hers having been surrounding by 3 huge dogs months ago and feeling powerless and me finally knowing I can not only quickly and easily take care of that situation but I faced the fear of a charging pit....that's huge.
When I reported this to the club the guy who took the report towards the end asked if I had a gun...I said I have that and everything else but my thoughts went back to that moment. It's an achievement. :) I have been faced with far worse. But today I feel great :) I was not afraid of that dog and I had more for it. It never came back ;) As we walked home and Big Girl walked confident not as the abused girl she had been when she was used as bait for pit fights prior to rescue but rather the shining example of one who faced down her fear and won.
Peace and Strength,
Rain
