Day 122

Went for a run by myself with the houndies early in the morning. I got the fright of my life, & don't think I've ever run so fast!
I heard someone/something scratching round in the bushes, which took both me & the boys by surprise. It was so loud, much louder than any bush turkey. I kept going toward the noise, a little hesitant, but ahead I saw Spot just freeze & stare. He usually chases any animal…And then after thinking i saw dark hair and a teal colour shirt, i was way too freaked to stick around and get a better look. I bolted, didn't even whistle for the dogs. I glimpsed back over my shoulder to see Arch running toward me, tail between legs , I got a comfortable distance away, whistled for Spotty, jogged till he caught me and them ran the whole way home like i have never ran before!
I'd just read something that most attacks happen in the early morning hours. I am always a little, just a little nervous where i walk as it's off the beaten track a bit, & if something was to happen, no one would pass by.
There was a guy along the same walkway who attacked a couple of women, during the day even, and they never actually caught him.
Hmmm. i think I'll make sure Mart def come with from now on. Maybe I need a bigger dog!
