Cursed the owner for a full minute and went home to check if the skin on my thigh was pierced. Couldn't drop my pants right there in the lovely winter weather. I'll go back tomorrow and talk to her. I don't blame the dog though, it's all on the trainer. She' got to do something. I'm OK but what if a kid walks by?
Here you could report the person to animal control. Is that an option where you live? Then you don't have to be the one doing the confronting.
In fact, let me go further. My dog was bit by a neighbor dog and the advice I got was that I positively should report it animal control, because if 1) the dog bites again and 2) the victim in that case learns that my dog was bit, I could be held liable for that second bite. I thought that unlikely, but I made the report anyway.
Anxiety again today AND I’m at work AND I have a splitting headache AND Saturday’s the busiest shopping day of the week. Four hours left to go and I’m outta here!!!
I used to be. But eventually I realized that flu shots are really good things, since the alternative (for me) was to be sick for a month (one of my typing clients sneezed all over his term paper before handing it to me, and of course I ended up coming down with what he had... and by the time I got sick, it was a couple of days before Christmas and I not only had a miserable holiday, but didn't really feel well again until about the 3rd week in January).
Fast-forward about 25 years and I was informed that I would not be let out of the hospital until I'd learned to test my glucose myself and give myself insulin injections. The nurse was horrible about it; I guess she forgot that some people panic about this sort of thing at first (not to mention this was before my cataract surgery, so I couldn't really see what I was doing anyway, which is a perfectly valid reason to be scared). They got someone else to teach me - someone more patient, and things went much better. So while I don't like it, at least I can do it and am used to it. Needles don't scare me anymore.
Unless they're IV needles. Super-sensitive machines that beep incessantly if you so much as twitch...

Border collie. And she was kind of creeping before she jumped. Happened really fast. I've been told that they should be kept active otherwise they get a little crazy.

Yeah, they do. It's sad how many people get a dog without paying attention to the amount of care and activity the dog needs. FFS, if you can't give a working dogs like border collie the activities they need, get a couch potato instead. Plenty of those around too. Same goes for handling the stronger breeds. If you don't know how to give them what they need and raise them right, you shouldn't be allowed to get one.
