Today was filled with dogs, bushes and mud... sometimes all three at the same time. I'm not afraid of dogs, but I'm always cautious of them. When you've had as many run ins as me, you learn to know which ones are okay to approach, and which ones are Cujo in disguise. This, for example, was one such unapproachable one:

These are the worst. They look friendly, they act friendly.... until you get within gnawing range. we almost got eaten by that one. These two were good ones. They didn't even care that we were in their yard. The smaller one did reach in my bag and take my dog treats though...
