Pretend Chat 2.14

Yes, I'm very serious. It was due to bad experience with a STUPID cousin of mine who was then a teenager and.....got bit by a dog! Even though I too was quite young then, that event remained engraved in my mind, and regretfully I have NOT been able to get rid of it, believe me. Imagine: just to see a dog, makes my heart race. Can't help it and I don't think there's anything I can do about it now.

Poor thing!!
Dogs can bring so much joy!

Am I allowed to ask a tort related question or do I need to go to another thread?

I'd go see to another forum, then post a thread, depending on the subject.

Good luck.

Who's the 'poor thing?' Do you mean me or my cousin?

Dogs are also very active and the most intelligent animals.

This is just a curiosity question.... how many of you still actually read a "real" newspaper? I mean the paper type you have to hold in your hands and get ink on your fingers type. Do you read it daily or just perhaps the Sunday paper?

Since I live on a very well-travelled street, I cancelled the newspaper delivery many years ago. I didn't like the paper sitting all day in my driveway announcing to all and sundry that the house was vacant for the day. This was while I was still working. I got used to not reading it and never re-subscribed. I get a little news from the TV if I happen to watch a news show, but mainly I live here under my bridge or in my cave, blissfully unaware of what's going on in the world.

 

[Myroli]

Me too, people at work are always talking about stuff they saw in the news and I have NO idea what they're talking about

 

[Jacqui]

Don't you hate when your big dogs nails gouge your feet or toes? OMG, my dog just got me good when he got startled. I sat down and whined like a baby as my other dog was licking my face worried.

Ouchee! That does hurt.

Just reread it. So your Stupid cousin got bit! But still I'm sorry you get nervous when you see a dog. Kinda like anxiety, it's horrible.

 

[Jacqui]

"Oh GOD!' I thought when I just read your alert. I'd probably get a....heart attack on the spot: I am SO SCARED OF DOGS.

Is there a reason?

 

[Jacqui]

I see somebody already asked. Never too late. Hard for me to imagine being afraid of dogs as they are my best friends and family too.

ask away

 

[Momof4]

I only read the small local paper that gets thrown in my driveway. It just has community events etc. I do know many who religiously read it front to back even if it's a few days old.

Fear, anxiety, a nightmare.....you name it.

In Yvonne's singing voice, Somewhere over the rainbow...lalala

You can ask here.

She lives over the rainbow in Nebraska....Way out in nowhere land....

Which is the very bestest place to live.

They are such popular pets. But the experience I went through as a child when that foolish cousin of mine got bit by a dog, had so much effect on me and I just cannot overcome that fear!

 

[Myroli]

You can ask here.

I asked in my intro thread, but I'll ask here too: Ki is refusing to eat his pellet food(I feed grass and weeds as main diet)even though I mix it in with other stuff

 

[mike taylor]

Mad wife
Bugs of any kind
I hate bugs !

Maybe try looking at pics of toy breed puppies, they are so small and cute it might be okaye?
