I’m so sorry, Crissy. I totally play back close calls with Archie. They keep me up at night. WHY ARE KIDS SO PRECIOUS?!?!

JAY-zus. That’s fricken scary. I’m so glad you’re OK, and also holy crap I don’t thinkj I would have made it to the library in your place.

Also? Call the cops on that effing dog.

For starters- you don’t call the dog officer, you call the cops. Having your dog off a leash, off your property, strike 1, dog attacking a person or animal, esp. an animal on a leash, strike two. In some places that is grounds for being put to sleep in others it is just a huge ass fine. Also, make sure Tequila has had all her shots so she didn’t pass anything onto Alice.
Too bad it isn’t practical to go for a walk in heels. A stiletto to the dog’s eye, or the blind driver’s fender would have helped you feel a little bit better.

I’m pretty sure that once a dog bites anyone, the dog has to be put to sleep. You could fight this one. Take photos of your little girl’s wounds. They may come in handy. If you have a ruler or something, I’d put the ruler next to the bites so that IF you have to go to court, you can show some pretty good documentation of proof.

I’m glad you and the girls are okay – and the dog too.

yet another reason for a V70.

I’ve almost been mown down in the crosswalk – scared a week’s growth out of me.

I just emailed you about this! You’re psychic, you answered all my questions!

What if you phrased it that the dog tried to attack Girlfriend but Alice went all superhero and took one for the team. I bet the lame assed authorities would be out then.

Thank goodness you’re ok! I’m with everybody else – keep calling those animal control people and annoy them into action.

So glad you guys are okay. If I were you, bring a mixture of half lemon juice, half water with you in a squirt bottle and squirt Tequila in the eyes with it next time he’s off leash. It won’t do any damage, just stings enough to get him to back off. Also, if Animal Control won’t help, report them to the SPCA, or go higher and go to state agencies. They’ll get back to you asap. That’s what I had to do in my neighborhood. You can also write letters to the editor for local papers and get them stirred up that way.

And, to the dumb lady who tried to run you guys down, I hope you at least gave her some kind of one-finger salute. Oblivious + Driver’s License = Bad combination.
