It was freezing cold!
On the way back my fingers got numb and I really had a hard time to lock my bike in the backyard that was just lighted from the moon. At least the sky was bright in this crisp air. I went round the house to unlock the main door. At the same time a dog with no leash turned round the other corner and looked at me. I saw no person around.
My fingers were still numb and it wasn´t easy to get the key in the lock.
The dog stopped, looked at me, came very slowly nearer, stopped and started to snarl.
And it wassn´t such a usually friendly dog like this one. It was a mean-looking pomeranian. No attack dog, but he could hurt me.
I tried to stay calm, managed to force the door open - the dog followed quicker and started to bark aggressively. He smelled or felt that I was afraid. And this darn door isn´t easy to close; it has a mechanism so it closes slowly and smooth. I needed some power to shut it quickly enough.
My heart raced, my hands trembeled.
And then it struck me - what if the dog "lives" here? What if he waits for me and attacks? Is it wise to use some pepper-spray? Or can the holder make me pay the vet if the dog needs help after such an attack? I still have no insurance.
Would the dog remember me?
What is the best way to avoid contact?
