Adelaide tried to kill me - once, twice, three times

Is this the face of a killer?

Addy Closeups-5

I am using Addy's full name because, if she is a killer, she needs to be addressed like one. Here is a point by point synaposis of the threats on my life:

1) We were out walking the other night and Adelaide in a 'mad dash' tangled me in her leash. I swan dive down using my hand in blocking my fall. She walked away sheapishly.

2) The second incident occurred a couple of weeks ago on another walking trip. She darted out for a squirrel (or so I presume b/c there wasn't a squirrel to be found). She just so happened to dart out right in front of a recycle bin. Resulting in a in quick hurdle of the recycle bin in order to not break my neck.

3) In the final attempt at my life, Adelaide pulled out the stops. She lured me under false pretenses that she had to go outside. So up the stairs to take them out, not thinking I didn't turn out the lights (I go up the stairs in the dark all the time). However, this time would be much different. There awaited Adelaide, unbeknownst to me, blocking the steps. As I came up the step, I tripped over Adelaide and fell, on my side, 4 feet. I laid their quietly and did a quick assessment of all my body parts. After I realized that I was ok, I got up and let them outside.

Adelaide came back in and was good the rest of the night. I assumed it was quiet defeat that she had not killed me...at least not yet.

Happy Halloween!

The dogs of the world may be uniting...Sasha bloodied my nose two weeks ago, and my neighbor tripped over her dogs to fall down the stairs. Luckily she only broke a finger. They may be smarter than we know...

Maybe they feel 'a change is coming' too!
