Biting a jogger who has done nothing is a sign of an out of control dog with issues. Imagine if it were a child. Or someone's face. You'd feel terrible for having done nothing. I hope your leg heals OK.Omgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193367587292656589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599297.post-44919951413785620492008-11-18T11:44:00.000-07:002008-11-18T11:44:00.000-07:00Wow, so glad you are ok!

Now I will definately be shaving my legs tonight! I am so sorry about that crazy dog, don't they have leash laws in Utah? Oh and lots of luck on your Vegas run!

I've never been chased down by a dog on my runs, but I've been nervous before.<BR/><BR/>Shaving legs sucks, but I just can't NOT do it, even in the winter. I just hate the feel too much. Yes they are still white and veiny, but I can't handle the hair.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what I'd do about the animal control. I mean I wonder if that dog has done that to other people?

I don't blame you for feeling bad for the family, but I would hope THEY would have done something about the dog after he bit you, too. I would have been mortified if it had been my dog. BUT...you should call animal control for sure, I think.

Especially if it lived with a family and kids! I bet he's never done anything like that before - but like you said, you also don't want the same thing to happen to another person. :( Good luck tomorrow :(Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775638274892531792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599297.post-56736663539353768222008-11-16T17:33:00.000-07:002008-11-16T17:33:00.000-07:00Oh you poor soul..

I ran some 800's at the track near my house and it was warm here too! PHEW.<BR/><BR/>Rest up...and try to get back out there soon. I carry mace with me, strapped to my wrist, when I run.

PETRIFIED of being chased by one and just so you know, everyday that I talk myself out of shaving when I am in the shower, I am now going to remember this story and just do it!

I don't think people really care about hairy legs though :) I do pedicures and toes and I know people are mortified when they forgot to shave, but no biggie!<BR/>Sucks that you have to call animal control.

At least though it was a family dog and not a stray. The changes of rabies is slim I guess if he/she had all her shots. I am so sorry. That would have freaked me out because I scared of big dogs.Krisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014119520544602617noreply@blogger.com
