Ha, my nemesis seems to be doxies...why are such tiny dogs such a-holes!?! I don't have issues with them on the bike, but I sure do while running, for some reason (and they can run pretty fast when they want to chomp on people calves). And I have decided that red-winged blackbirds are the a-holes of the bird world. What a lot of jerks those guys are this time of the year! We encountered a bull mastiff on our CX bikes last Fall...he kinda scared us. Until we realized that he was standing in the road in hopes that we would stop and love on him, not to hurt him (though I nearly crashed into the big lunk). His name was buddy.
