Maybe I should have asked the man to "sit up pretty' - LOL.
You did the right thing, reacting like you did - You were protecting Murphy and Finn like they would protect you. "Just Reflex" is a good thing. You didn't take time to stop and think about what to do, so you didn't give him time to do much either. I'm glad you're ok, and the dogs too.

Wish you were joining us on the Bridge of the Gods ride tomorrow.
