    Dear irresponsible dog owners,
    My husband has severe nerve damage in his left leg. He only has a partially functional foot and is going to weekly gait physical therapy soon to be wearing braces on his feet and legs. He has enough problems with his leg and feet, so when your yappy little dogs charged him from your yard this afternoon and nipped his leg, he was lucky they didn't break the skin. Luckily they appeared to have gotten the seam of his blue jeans but he can feel where your loose dog had ahold of his leg. He said he tried to get away and thought of trying to hit them with his cane too late. We're all very lucky he didn't fall trying to get away from your out of control animals. They would have bitten him multiple times. I don't care if it's a mini pin or not, they are still biters. Keep them in your house or leashed in your yard if they are outside.
    If I catch them out, I will call animal control and if they come after either of us when I'm out, I WILL use my cane. I am an animal lover, but I hate when animals are let out without being on a leash. This is the second time he's been bitten by a dog while out walking in the past 4 years He got lucky when that dog got ahold of his heavy winter glove or else he might have been bitten badly. You're lucky I was watching my grandchildren when I found out about it or else I would have come down and dealt with the dogs then call animal control myself right then.

    Dear Mary
    Water from a hose works great on dogs. Doesn't hurt anyone and makes a BIG impression on the dogs. I've trained neighbor's pitbulls that way
    Say go home. then blast 'em.

    Mimi,
    He was out for a walk and down the street from our house. He'd walked down to the end of the street and they weren't there, then when he was walking back towards our house, they ran out of the neighbour's yard and chased him. After the last dog incident and his gait had gotten worse again, I'd asked him to stay closer to home when he went for a walk so most of the time, he walks up and down the street in front of our house.

    Dear S&S-

    Please don't feel that you have to repay me in any way.

    It was only a minor inconvenience and you know I'd do the same for you or anyone else who needed it.
    Doing a favor and expecting some form of payment isn't a favor at all. It all works out eventually.

    Maybe you can come help me paint

    Mary-
    lord knows I'm a dog lover too but as someone who also has gait difficulties I think he should carry Halt.
    it might seem mean but it would probably only take one time for them to remember.

    Dear Professors-
    I know that I signed up for this and even paid for this experience but please, no more papers this semester. I have written a 14 pg, a 11 pg, and six 4 pg. papers. I'd like to experience something else. It's called sanity.
    Thanks.

    Dear Fly,

    You should have majored in art. You draw pictures for your thesis.
