Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[SageHill]

Well crud on the burb. at least it happened where you are staying and not out on I-5 (guessing that’s what you’re using) in the middle of no where.
Relax with Boone - meaning since you two are tethered together be relaxed / chilled as that will let him know you are ok. Not easy I know, but is what is needed.
Prayers and good thoughts for the burb fix and you’re continued trip.

@SageHill thanks. Doing my best but that’s a pretty low bar.
At this point. I don’t think Boone would recognize me if I wasn’t stressed out.
If I chill out he’ll likely think I’m dead …

Boone is feeding off your anxiety and it’s upping his protective instincts. You have a lot to be anxious about but for Boone’s sake, you gotta get a grip on yourself. Car is broke down. Ok, count your blessings. It happened right where you are staying and not on a highway in the middle of nowhere. All things can be dealt with. Take a deep breath and be grateful that it’s not worse.

Give those knuckleheads a talking to and explain like you are talking to a toddler so they can understand. Show them proper posture. Tell them the history of the Anatolians breed, how for past several thousand years, they have fought off lions, bears, wolves and thieves. Boone recognizes them as predators. How? Their eyes are in the FRONT of their face. Prey animals eyes are on the SIDE of their faces so they can see the predators sneaking up on them. One glance from Boone and he knows they are predators, their posture says they are a threat. Anatolians have the strongest bite force of any dog in the entire damned WORLD! 743 PSI. Their bite is stronger than even a wolf or any other breed of dog.
These knuckleheads need to know what they are dealing with and RESPECT Boone for what he is.

The boy mom in me wonders why they don't understand "my person sized dog will eat you if you do that". But what do I know? maybe that's a tad blunt...
