I was composing today’s entry in my head as I walked along the beach this morning. It was all positive: a cool and eerie fog, the sweet smell of salt water, a man playing a bugle (seriously), the sun breaking through the clouds…UNTIL an unleashed German Shepherd appeared out of the mist!
I stopped dead in my tracks- and asked the owners to please leash their dog. They looked confused- why would I mind a large dog running toward me??? I think I may have encountered this same dog last summer (one of many), prompting a similar “vent” in my blog!
Sure enough- on my return, the dog was once again off the leash. The owner had a difficult time catching the dog- and I had to wait through this process, and endure nasty looks.Â
I am not comfortable around dogs, and afraid of certain breeds. So it’s frustrating to feel intimidated when I just want to enjoy a walk along the beach.
