Hi Virgie and others praying for me
Now I wonder why yahoo's service is so appalling these days? It was so good! To 
get to the point, I just felt that because I was almost sure the dog belonged to 
him,  the decent thing to do would be to talk to him personally and not to talk 
to someone in a more senior position. If there isn't any improvement, I might 
take the matter up with someone with higher authority. I am thankful to say God 
has protected me and I haven't had repeats of last week's episodes. Tuesday we 
walked the same road and the dog was behind a gate. Astrid was still afraid, 
though and just stopped in her tracks. I had to very gently coax her to walk 
further and I'm sure she remembers this bad experience very well. She's also 
more wary of dogs we pass on our way to and from work, even though they are 
behind gates.
