So, the house with the two vicious dogs, that have attacked repeatedly.... (For anyone who missed my scintillating attack dog stories). We have advanced to the next chapter (I am unharmed ( Read more... )

It turns out there are two vicious lab dogs at that house where I got attacked mere days ago. But, no, this is progress! I saw where they came from. I hadn't been blind and oblivious, after all. There's a handy doggy door in the garage wall. Apparently, these dumb dogs are allowed out any time they want, and that's usually after they hear the ( Read more... )

Wow, yeah, walking still sucks. Especially if you're attacked by two dogs within twenty minutes of each other ( Read more... )

Aside from the 10+ hour days....

The Batty Old Lady Who Whines All the Time:There's this retarded old woman who lives on my route. I've told you guys about her before - the one who can't possible use her mailbox but can't be bothered to put one up beside her door. So I stuff the mail in her storm door, every day and if she catches me, she says in ( Read more... )

Yep, still consumed by that fabulous lack of interest in anything so here are animal work stories ( Read more... )

It was an unusually nice day, would be the best way to phrase it. It was a bit warm, but it's not yet oppressively humid in the high nineties. I only had my own route to do and left early, which was good. It's allergy season for me and it took 150mg of benadryl before I could reign in flood. I would dare you to take that much and drive around, but ( Read more... )

Also, I saw a strange dog today. From the front, it resembled a very skinny, black giraffe. It was the shape of a greyhound, in all respects, with very short hair, but it was the size of a wolfhound. Was it a giraffe?!?

We managed to achieve a late start, but since we only needed to reach Knoxville, it wasn't that big a deal. Then we drove a lot.

3/10/08 - MondayWe briefly reversed direction to find the Knoxville Post Office, home to the Tennessee District HR offices. With some wheedling, I was able to speak (over the phone) with the HR rep and ( Read more... )

So, there's this dog, that looks like a cross between a husky and a chow. It always barks like an idiot as I walk two loops off a court. It barks at everyone, actually. I'm surprised no one has called Animal Control on it. Anyway, whenever the boy who lives there comes home from school, he lets the dog out. I knew it was only a matter of time ( Read more... )

The church ladies gave me cookies for Valentines. I met a doberman who barked at me from behind the storm door. I told him to hush and he soon ran off somewhere else in the house. I thought he had been called by his owner, but the dog came back with a yellow frisbee and whined hopefully at me. I hope they don't rely on the dog to scare away ( Read more... )
