EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Thursday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Jun 22, 2017

11,080 steps. Though not without setbacks. A dog bit me and I had to get 10 stitches on my arm. He knocked me down, fortunately I'd backed away from him, so I landed on the lawn instead of the street.

I'm a dog magnet, I guess. I was bit on my bike years ago, by this same dog a few years back (that was through my jeans, so only redness, nothing serious).

The dog owner brought me a stun gun. I don't know what to think about carrying that. I feel safe around here except for dogs. I can't imagine that I could have the presence of mind to use it. Do any of you have experience with these?

judycaret Holy cow, Elaine, I hope you're okay. I was attacked by a dog 2 years ago and I'm still skittish around them. The stun gun bothers me because the implication is that you need to take action; I think the dog owner needs to be responsible for his pet. I went the rounds with Animal Control and was not happy with the outcome. I seriously hope you're ok...See More

Judy2/CA The dog owner gave you a stun gun to protect yourself from his dog? Unbelievable! Is the dog not contained in his yard? I would be reporting him to Animal Control and taking him to small claims court. No way would I take the stun gun. My 2 cents!
