Animal encounters...

When I started walking I used to have all kinds of encounters with neighborhood dogs. My family has had dogs all of my life so I was never too scared, but one neighbor had an American bulldog that just made me nervous. He just looked mean and the fact that he barked, growled and foamed at the mouth whenever I'd walk by his gate kind of gave me the idea that he might like to have me for an afternoon snack. Eventually though he disappeared and I made friends with all of the other dogs.

My other animal encounters include wild peacocks (lemme tell you, those guys make some awful noises and can be extremely intimidating), deer, snakes of various kinds, and an occasional tarantula.

The snakes are probably my least favorite...I am making progress though...I'm not able to let them slither across the street before I walk by, where last year I was screeching and running in the opposite direction. =)

I suppose one more blog wont hurt...

I have, officially, probably 10 blogs of different sorts and for some reason I started this one a loooong time ago and never did anything with it. I wont lie, I have one journal with livejournal that I've had for seven years and will continue to use for probably the rest of my life and all of my most personal, most private feelings go in there and are viewed by a very personal, private audience...a smaller audience than it actually appears.

This blog I think I'm going to use more for random things...just things that I'm thinking about on the side and willing to discuss in a semi-public forum. And by discuss I mean talk to myself about because it doesn't look like I have anyone reading this blog...which would make sense considering that there's been nothing to read.

I'll make a better post later...for now I have a niece to squeeze and a walk to take.
