So I was 1/8 of a mile down the road this morning, and heard a funny sound. I turned around, and there was a yorkie chasing me, little teeth out, yapping, dragging a red leash, complete with white bow in it's hair. :p The sight was so funny I almost fell over laughing! This week is going to be terrible (started with an overflowing toilet this morning), so it was great to get a laugh before work!

I take it you out sprinted the yorkie? :p :cool: :rolleyes:

What's the saying "you don't have to outsprint the yorkie, just your slowest friend" oh, that's supposed to be outsprint the bear? oh, never mind.

Funny how a bike to work can brighten your whole day ;) :rolleyes: :cool:

Yeah, I've had a few crows laugh at me.--

Haw - haw - haw - haw! :D

(I'd get there faster if I had wings, ya li'l poop factory!)

Makes my day! ;)

There was a frantic sounding female owner, but I didn't see her-imagining curlers makes it funnier! :p

In curlers, and in her pink bathrobe and pink fuzzy slippers and :eek: knee highs..... gave me a laugh, now I can't get this visual out of my mind.

On a women's ride Wed. night, a teeny-tiny chihuahua ran right in front of me across the road, and I didn't see him til after he'd already crossed my path since I was chatting with the other two gals (who were riding a bit behind me). It scared me after the fact since I realized I came pretty close to plowing right into him. He was totally oblivious to me riding along at a pretty fast clip; he just wanted to cross the road right then, and there he went!

Fortunately, this encounter was a LOT less traumatic than my last dog encounter on the road; I wasn't scared of this dog at all, but he still made my heart race. I would have felt absolutely horrible if I'd hit him. :eek:

Just another case pointing out why dogs should be restrained. Not only can they hurt you, as a cyclist - you can hurt them!
