Perritos

I have no idea why I am so scared of dogs.  Many are cute.  They stick out their tongues, run around and play catch.  But you never know when a dog will not be one of the nice ones.  At least I know most people will not bite me (except for that three-year-old who had yet to learn that words are better than teeth).

There are stray dogs all around Costa Rica.  I am fine when I'm in a town and people are about.  At least I could screech for help if anything was to happen and someone would come running (Ticos have been extremely helpful thus far).  But there have been instances when I see a little rascal up ahead in the streets and no one else is around so I quickly retrace my steps.  Or, if one follows me, I brace for the worse.  I blame this one incident when I was younger and almost was attacked by a big black dog.  And I also blame the fact that I never had a pet growing up, except for lizards raced into our Texan home whenever we would open the door.  Basically, I am making excuses for being a scaredy cat.  

Yet another thing to put on my to-get-over list!  Costa Rica, will you help me with that?  K, thanks.
