HALT! animal repellent

[RolliePollie]

Actually, it's Triple SSS, at least for me:

1. Swear
2. Spray
3. Sprint

No measley Triple S for me! Oh no, it's always the Quadruple S:

1. Scream
2. Swear
3. Spray
4. Sprint

Many times I add in extra screams for dramatic effect.

My scariest dog encounter was with a Rottweiler because I really think there was the potential for death (mine!). Second scariest was an Australian Shepherd because he was trying to bite my legs and back tire. Third scariest was a terrier because of the potential for a nasty crash. All three of these were within two days and I didn't hit any of them with my pepper spray (I was too terrified to think of grabbing it!). I'm hoping my quota is up for a while. It doesn't help that I'm scared of dogs in general.
