we all know that person who says to us, "i don't run unless i'm being chased."
well last night, i was chased. and last night, i ran.
even with a gimpy foot. and probably faster than i ever have. though it wasn't very far.
i was upstairs working on a project, with food network turned down low when i heard this god awful sound coming from outside. long, weird bellows of different lengths. like some tortured animal howling and groaning. or maybe a crazy person picking a fight. or maybe wind rushing through a weird pipe. at night all sounds conjure up the worst nightmares. so i hollered for my mommy and we peeked outside.
first we surveyed from the second story. too dark to see anything, so we crept downstairs to the large, glass sliding door. we tapped on the windows, hoping to scare whatever it was away. we flipped on the outdoor light. then flipped it off. then flipped it on.
and BAM!
two huge white dogs charged out of the gazebo in the backyard straight for the door. i bolted away from the door like lightening straight into the next room, nearly knocking my mom over.
2 dogs i said. TWO!
then they started barking. loudly. we backed away from the windows and waited. until we couldn't see them anymore.
they were definitely not our dogs and i'm very disturbed as to how they got into our fenced yard. i couldn't tell if they had tags. and i wasn't going outside to check. maybe animal lovers or those more familiar with dogs would, but i ain't going out in the dark to face 2 large unknown creatures. in my mind they were two wild rabid mongrels searching for sweet juicy asian flesh to devour.
but at least they're gone now. and at least i know i still have the runner's instinct. even if it does mean i'm a scardy cat.

Yikes. That sounds scary, and I wouldn't have gone out there either. Not if they jumped over the fence to get in. I mean, one...maybe. But two of them. Yikes (again).
Freaky! I do not like random large dogs at all. :(
Sorry about your ankle, are you going to go to the doc? Not that I would, haha. Take it easy and I hope it is better soon. :)
2 large white dogs makes me think someone just let their dogs out by accident... I mean, 2 and both white??? that's too similar to be totally random. I'm glad you're safe though!!! Good luck w/ the ankle.

Yes, that is my husband.
Very "Cujo" moment. Were they lingering the next day?
I'm not sure you could lose the runner instinct even if you tried. As for the shady dogs? Woof. That's no fun.
sweet juicy asian flesh... I love it!! glad you are okay!
SCARY!!
