Hero Rod


I know after the frog incident I said I would only walk in the daytime, but daylight savings is making nighttime walks inevitable.



While we haven’t had any dead frogs on the loose, we do get the occasional surprise barks




and hoots.




But one evening last week we saw something on the horizon that startled us both





and we paused as it approached.





When I realized that it was a dog and headed right for us, I picked up the Rod to give him a height advantage





and braced for impact.







And indeed Rod used this to his advantage.




This heroic act allowed us to continue on safely!



The beast made one attempt to follow us, but it was quickly shut down. 





And into the night we went.




What a hero!

  1. Oh, Rod....how scarry. Glad you took such good care of Mom. We have lots of beasts runnin' around by our house so my Momma won't even take us out for walks. We have to do lots of walkin in our big yard instead.
