It was totally foggy and rainy outside.  Felt just like San Diego in the winter.  All the rain has washed away the snow.  But at least it cleared the air?  Right? I had a weird run-in with a guy 'walking' his rotwiler/husky mix and golden retreiver.  He was riding in his truck with his elbow out of his window while he 'ran' his two dogs down Center Street and then around Boat Harbor Drive. On Boat Harbor Drive the rotwiler came running toward me growling, so I stuck out my foot like I was going to kick the dog in the head, and I yelled at the guy in the truck to call his dog away--to which he replied "Oh, she's ok, she's no problem."  Then when my dog came up from behind me, that rotweiler went after her, pinned her down to the ground and was ripping at her neck, so I kicked his rotweiler in the head and sprayed her face with mace.  I yelled again to the guy to call off his dog.  He then got out of his truck and started walking toward me, and it occurred to me breifely that he wasn't headed toward the dogs.  So I ran right past him, leaving my dog to be attacked by his dog until she finally got away and came after me.  I turned around and saw him grabbing his dog by the fur and tossing it into the back of his truck before he drove away.  I had a dream once a dog attacked my dog.  But it was years ago when I actually had a different dog.  It was a bizzare incident.  So if you see an early 1990's model teal green/brown stripped short bed ford pick up (rusty) out on the trail. Watch it. His dogs are mean.

So scary Luz! I take it your dog wasn't hurt too bad? Horrible of that man to leave his dogs unattended like that!
