Today Evie and I went to the grocery store and before we got to the entrance of the store a scary dog came running at us. He looked like a pit bull at first terrifying glance and I thought we were about to be mauled. I picked up Evie so he couldn’t get to her and tried to remain calm, but I'm sure he could sense my fear. Luckily, Evie wasn’t scared and was excited to see a doggie. I was relieved to find out he wasn’t a pit bull- although equally scary when he's charging at you.
(He looked like the dog in the picture but with a funky black-brown camouflage color, that made it hard to see his eyes.)
We got to the entrance of the store and couldn’t go in right away because we didn’t want “Satan” to follow us in through the automatic doors. Thankfully, someone came out and he got distracted. Evie and I rushed inside and as I strapped her into the cart I saw that “Satan” had somehow made it through the first set of doors. Evie and I took off down the first isle to hide from him before he made it in completely. We weren't that lucky. A few seconds later he came zipping around the corner as if we were playing a game. I may have screamed.
Fortunately, he had long toenails and the slippery tile slowed him down as I zig zagged around a few corners. I felt like Ms Pac-Man outrunning the ghosts. I passed a store employee who then got a “Satan” surprise a few seconds later. Ha Ha Game Over Satan.

I'm soooo thrilled you've accepted me as a blogging buddy, Ambs! I was just about to email you to ask for another invitation, when I thought-- oh, I'll just see if it'll let me on... and it did :) And Can I tell you how much fun I have had catching up with your life for the last hour? I've been laughing so hard that Joe (he's working in the other room) has gotten up and asked if I'm ok. He even asked why I was playing Jingle bells! I loved that clip! Oh I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW. Yours will be a site I shall visit very frequently. XOXOXOXO ps. I would have been terrified of "Satan."
It cracks me up that you actually named the dog Satan. Too funny. I'm glad you escaped. I'm not a dog fan, either.
I knew your Pac Man skills would be useful. I also loved that you screamed.
Satan sounds frightening! Especially with his camouflaged (sp?) eyes... ooohhhh. I'm glad your pac-man skills came in handy. I would dare say you could have done it with your eyes closed... hee hee. Extreme Pac-Man FOREVER!! (Scary feet! Scary feet! Scary feet!)
Every time I walk through the grocery store's double set of doors I think of you and the dog incident. It still makes me laugh.
i can't believe you don't like dogs amber! how sad. i'm sure satan just wanted to play. :) ya know, running up and down the aisles with you and evie. how fun would that be!! :) you shoulda tossed some food at him to distract him.
