Coffee Spill

I was walking Brenda last Saturday morning when we passed a woman sitting on a bench and drinking a cup of coffee. For some reason Brenda didn't like her and she growled and snarled. The woman was so startled she spilled her coffee on herself. I felt horrible and so I stopped to see if she was ok. Brenda is fine if I'm in between her and whatever has scared her, so I just kept her in a sit on my side farthest away from the woman.

After a few minutes, and an abbreviated version of Brenda's story, the woman was no longer angry and instead sympathetic.

Walking Brenda can be like running through a minefield.

Your last two posts made me cry. The third to last post made me feel sorry for the dude. I can envision those pathetic eyes with half a plastic bag hanging out of his mouth right in front of me.
