"I'm Great With Dogs"

Famous last words!

While walking Brenda the other day, I passed by two business men.

"Is that a puppy, are your training her?" one asked.

"No, she's an old lady," I said, stopping for a second but making sure I was standing between Brenda and them.

"Oh, can I say hi?"

"No, she's really scared of strangers."

"No really," he said, taking a step toward her. "I'm great with dogs. They all love me."

"Please don't. She's kind of dangerous," I blurted out.

"Ok," he said, looking dejected.

I'm still not sure why so many people think Brenda is a puppy. She is pretty cute, and she has trouble walking. And, unfortunately, most people don't see her from a close enough distance to make out her scars and other haggardly features.
