Near Death Experience....almost

Monday was beautiful so in the afternoon i decided to take Cooper for a nice long walk. We had been out for about 20 minutes when we turned a corner and found a dog wandering the street. It was quite large and looked like a husky mix. (Please note that my fear is that I'm out walking with cooper one day and a stray dog attacks cooper and there is no one to help and nothing i can do...). So i turn around and start walking the other way. Of course the dog bee-lines it for us (no tail waging I'll note) and starts following us. I start to get worried and cooper senses it and starts to growl. Now the dog is walking at my side and I'm super nervous because i have visions of the other dog starting to growl too and attacking us!! So i pick up cooper and keep walking. The dog keeps following. So i start to yell at the dog , hoping it would go away or someone would hear me and come help me. Nothing... So now what!?!? The house in front of me had two cars in the driveway and a fenced yard, so i rang the doorbell and ask if i could go in their backyard and wait for the dog to go away (keep in mind the dog is still standing next to me) Luckily the woman was VERY VERY nice and invited Cooper and me inside. She knew the dog's owner and called them. Apparently the dog is half wolf and not too friendly. The owner knew the dog was out but said she couldn't get him back inside! Long story short, I ended up going out the nice lady's back gate and walking home a different way.

While i know the dog never actually attacked Cooper or me, it was horrifying to think that it could at any moment and i wouldn't have been able to do anything other than scream or try to kick it! After a bottle of wine and some ice cream, I am feeling much better about the situation and will not be walking anywhere near that street again!!!

Health Status

I am happy to report that both Chris and I are feeling much better! We are both still very drained from the flu and have been eating dinner and going to bed very early! I make Chris eat dinner as soon as he gets home and I have been in bed by 8:00 every night for the last week! (Chris says I should move to Florida with the rest of blue haired old ladies who eat dinner at 4:00 and are in bed by 8pm!)

This week is also my Spring Break! However I haven't done much relaxing and have been filling my days with appointments! Monday was the Spa (Lauren the one you and I went to!), i had a 50 minute massage and my nails done. It was AMAZING! Tuesday was the dentist (for 2 hours!), Today was the chiropractor and the girlie doctor (boo!), Thursday is the dentist again (i grinded through my night guard and Chris is sick of listening to me grind my teeth at night so i have to get a new one!) and a hair cut, and Friday NOTHING!!!! I plan to sleep, walk and do nothing!

Chris now has the flu

See the title of this post. Enough said.

Dani has the Flu

Even though she had the alleged "flu shot", Dani has the flu. She is soldiering through, so we are waiting to see if the rest of us that live here (that didnt have the flu shot) will get it. Actually Cooper is a dog and cant get it, so i guess i am SOL.
