Dog attack II

Today I am running with precautions with some stones on each hand. I keep myself alert with this black 'attacker' when I enter his "territory". I hold my 'bullet' firmly and ready to shoot when he comes close me. This is a battle that involve some proficiency (accuracy and speed). Here he comes, growling at me, stiffened his front legs and a raised ridge of hair along the spine. He looked scary this time and is about to attack using his sharp teeth. My turn and I threw the stone with all my effort without mercy. I have got you! (with a sign of victory). I quickly ran away before he went after me again. Phew! Holy God! Please forgive me for what I have done to a friend of mankind.

Dog attack

I was out for a jog today and it is quite hot even though the clock hit 5.30pm. There is nothing special about the route in this area but the only thing is there are quite a number of domestic dogs and stray dogs. The dogs are always exciting and begin barking, growling when they saw someone passing by. There is one spot where a stray dog that like to chase after me. I never take it seriously and I thought after a bit of barking, the dog will lose interest and go away. I always remain calm or be friendly because there's some truth to the adage that dogs and other animals can sense fear. If you panic, you may make the dog feel more confident in his attack, or you may appear threatening to the dog. The dog is not playing and being aggressive this time.

Ouch... He was acting fast before I realise I was bitten. I ended up with a minor teeth marks (two holes, still lucky though...) and bruise on my calf. Guess I will have to get a rabies shot before I turn to a beast. Haha! I tried to contact the animal control authorities after this in order to prevent such incidents in the future, as well as to determine if the animal has rabies. Some advice for runners,
  • Every dog is different, and dogs will react in sometimes unpredictable ways.
  • Watch for signs of infection closely if you've been bitten. There's a lot of bacteria in their teeth.

New challenges

生活是什麽?什麽是生活?忙碌了一生的人,也许还在找答案?
人生的功力,全都表现在生活;生活,就是生命的考场!
简单就是美,讲是容易做起来却有点难。
对于每天努力工作的人来说, 表面上看起来,生活很充实!
然而,如果把工作暂时拿掉,也许生活便失去了重心!工作到底是为了什么?
很多时候,我们发现,我们只不过是按照环境,作机械式的反应罢了!
最近欣然转变一下人生的轨道,开始尝试一些不知可否胜任的工作
我也不知这个决定是对或错,只知道要做出少许的改变,虽然很不习惯,我想这就是舍与得罢。
现在我只有朝着目标一步一步的走下去。
