 Damn yall, i had a hell of a scare on my walk just now.  I had just turned onto one of our trails and saw 3 large dogs, all black.  From that distance, i could only see that one of them was a german shepherd, the others maybe rottweillers, but not sure.  They started coming toward me, so i fired a shot in their direction. 2 of them veered off, but the german sheperd kept coming at me.  I started yelling loudly and it finally turned away too.  Luckily Daisy had wandered into the woods before this encounter, so they didnt see her. I tried calling my husband in case they tried to follow me (i was a long way from the house), and my damned phone would not connect!  I couldnt believe it!  Anyway, no harm done, just got scared as shit.  ALWAYS CARRY A GUN, YOU MIGHT NEED IT WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT, AND YOUR PHONE MAY NOT WORK WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST. 
 Scary !  Glad you and daisy are okay!!!! 
 Thank God you and Daisy are ok Maria! 
 In Canada you would have been dog bait, because you know... guns kill 
 Of course the state will always protect you, deeming firearms unnecessary……… 
 Have you tried the baofeng walkie talkie? Might be a good item to utilize out there. I tell my kids to be weary of dogs, you just never know. 
 Actually we have walkies, just cheap walmart ones, but we dont usually carry them with us.  Need to change that. 
 Yeah the Baofeng ones on Amazon are g2g. I just use around the house or the kids will mess with them. 
 I'm glad you're OK!! 
 Yup. Exactly. Glad you were prepared and safe. 🫂💚👍 
 gm! ☕️😳 Glad you’re ok!

 Close one! Glad y’all are ok. 🤙 
 whew!! 
 So sorry and glad you’re okay! Phones always fail exactly when you need them most. 
 Scary stuff. I carry pepper spray which works on dogs, but three is pushing it. 
 Yeah i was dreading that, thats why i shot a warning first.
