Dog Gone Monday

First of all, I don't generally have Mondays until Wednesday. Wednesday is my off-kilter day. Today, however, was Monday all the way around. Very early this morning I realized I had inadvertently left my bigger-than-life Shrek blown-up all night.W ith the storm coming in, the wind had turned him into near lift-off. Fortunately I was able to scrub the mission.
I drove down to Target to fill a prescription which they misplaced in a rush of sick people. It wouldn't have been as bad if it hadn't taken so long and I didn't have frozen food in my cart. I love those guys dearly, tho.. they felt really bad about it and to cheer myself up I quickly grabbed a bag of candy corn on the way to the checkout. Yep, " Clean up at the Halloween Candy, please." The bag got stuck on the corner of the shelf and tore open.
As I pulled up the cul-de-sac for home I noticed 2 HUGE dogs running free, both black but one with long hair and the other short. I am scared of dogs. I am terrified of big dogs. I am pathetically petrified of huge, loose dogs. These guys stopped in the street upon hearing my car behind them and barked at my car. I am safe in steel so I proceed up the steep driveway slowly and remain in my car a few minutes. I opened the door and quietly exited to see both of them at the foot of the driveway waiting for me. "Be calm, they sense fear, Kathy. Breathe." I'm remembering my melting groceries and step slowly to the trunk when one of them began to charge up at me barking!! I nearly fell over hopping back into my car. Eventually, the dogs left and trotted up the circle barking at something else. It was like being in the tabernacle getting back out,groceries and all, literally tip-toeing around the car and easing into my house without attracting their attention. They continued to roam and move aggressively I noticed, from the window. I called Animal Control and... well, I am more than happy to sign a complaint. Thanking goodness no young children were outside... the child in me that was there was enough. My husband, realizing the danger went out with a steel bar to make certain no children were around until they were out of sight. It has been over 2 hours now and I am still afraid. I think for sure I heard them bark as I began this. Hmm, I can't wait to find out who owns them. Not wanting to lose you with too many words, let's just say this was and still is a real Monday.
