So it was time to walk the dog again. I am an old gray haired man so to keep fit I walk two to five miles a day and the dog helps keep the pace so I don’t get lazy. I got my gun and flashlight along with my cell phone and dog treats and headed out. The area I walk in is along a canal next to some railroad tracks. Lots of brush and open field both and the dog loves the water.
So I am in the brushy area and a man and a woman are there along the path. Both were dressed like crap and both had short hair. The man in his twenties had colored his hair a phony blonde. The woman had a lot of metal here and there. They had large beer cans and were obviously drunk or screwed up. It being before 10am it told me they had a problem.
So as I got close they complimented the dog and ask if they could pet him. I had a twenty five foot leash on a reel so I could let him get close but as soon as he did he got very fearful and ran. The fellow was sitting with one foot against a fallen tree like he was ready to spring and the girl kept trying to gain my attention by asking me for beer money and reaching for my dog.
I told them both there was no money for them and kept moving. As the guy started to rise I reached into my pocket and put my hand on my gun. He wasn’t so drunk that he didn’t notice I had a big smile on my face. I guess I just wanted to see his face when he started his attack. He looked down at my pocket and leaned back on his foot.
The woman was still working to get my attention and looked at him wondering ,I guess.
, when he was going to jump me. The dog and I just walked on. So I immediately called the cops on my cell and was put on hold. I walked eight city blocks before I got a human voice telling me they were very busy. I made a report and walked home.
