My husband travels on business a lot, weeks at a time sometimes, and there are times when I have to do difficult things by myself or they don't get done.

You have rattlesnakes (no can do) and I have loose pitbulls with spike collars roaming my front yard....thankfully there has not been any parolees with the pitbulls. Actually I don't feel fearless at all when these strays come into my yard and I have a blind 13 pound weiner dog on a leash. Lets just say panic insued a couple of times and I have scars from trying to escape my own yard...except the fencing that I tore into was quite rusty...it was a bloody mess on my part. I hate feeling so panicky around stray dogs!<br />Happy Friday. I have a nice long weekend due to a government holiday.....guess which one? Cesar Chavez!
