Dog squirmish

[Cheryl Anna]

Kelly and I went on our walk at 7:45 this morning. We turned off our driveway to the right when a dalmatian came towards Kelly. I started screaming "No!" to the dog, and a little old lady walking towards us said, "He's deaf".
Well, the dalmatian seemed friendly and I started to pet it. I realized that it was the next door neighbors dog because they have a dog who yis deaf.
The dog seemed like it just wanted to sniff Kelly.
I became alarmed when the dalmatian growled at Kelly. When he growled louder, I grabbed his collar. The dalmatian began to chase Kelly (the two dogs are about the same size) around the wheelchair. The dalmatian ran faster than I could turn, and soon I was jerked backwards-and fell on someones driveway.
The dalmatian was startled by my falling, and just stood there. He must have thought, "What the ****!"
A passerby stopped his truck. He held the leash and the old lady (who finally caught up to the action) held the wheelchair while I got up.
The old lady was so apologetic. She said that she was very sorry. I was O.K.

Close call. Were you hurt? So the dog was on a leash, but the old lady couldn't have possibly prevented the dog from running.....then what's the use of the leash?! She should get someone who can control the dog to walk him...

Gosh, I certainly am glad you are ok. Crazy old ladies, cant live with 'um cant live without 'um. (well maybe we could. )
