Yep, you guessed it!

I think it must just be me! Yesterday I had another run in with the same guy and his dog that have been the bane of my running existence the last month or so. Once again his dog was not on leash and came running full tilt right at me. I stiffened up my stride and sort of tried to leap the dog as it arrived and ended up kicking it in the chops. The responsible owner then flew off the handle of course. This guy is threatening and dangerous. He drives a silver late model Nissan Frontier extra cab truck with the license B37417F. If you see it parked at a trailhead beware!

Ok that was yesterday, now for today! As I came up the last of the path around the lake I was running through deep piles of the fallen maple leaves - very pretty - and a dog started to come out after me from above. The owner started yelling at it, and it stayed at bay. As I got up to the gate and turned toward the education center on the paved road that dog and its companion came after me growling and barking. The owner was yelling at them, but they completely ignored him. Finally they got close enough to be a threat and I whipped up the collapsible baton I now carry and kept running. The guy saw this and yelled out, "Hey, they're just doing their job!"

WHAT! He has a contract with his dogs to pursue and attack people? Or maybe just runners? Geez!

Well, now this specimen drives a silver 2010 Nissan Titan with a "Don't Tread On Me" flag sticker on the right side of his rear window. He's just as 'friendly' as ever too. Watch out!
