I didn't pay rent today. Let me tell you why.
Do you see this dog here?
precious huh?
no. not anymore.
I have added a new item to my list of fears.
PUG DOGS.
just the pugs though. nothing more.
you see,
I was on my way to management to pay April's Rent which is located in someone's home.
Unfortunately, a turn of events occurred.
I park my car on the side of the neighborhood street across from the home and all of a sudden I hear a ruckus of dogs barking.
uncontrollably barking.
To the point where I was 1.) really annoyed and 2.) a little curious as to what was going on.
From my window I look down and see these two pug dogs barking at my window.
I can't get out.
If I open my door they will jump on me. Or maybe I might nail them with my door resulting into an even bigger problem.
So I wait. I can be patient. I'll just let these mutts do their barking,
give them some time to realize that they don't bother me.
wa-la. I am a genius.
They figure it out and play follow the leader as they prance off onto the sidewalk.
coast is clear.
So I hop on out of my car, take a stroll across the street.
"good I think, two days before the cut off for paying rent.
I am so on top of life."
"BARK BARK! WOOF WOOF BARK WOOF WOOF!"
what on earth could those pugs want now???
ME.
THEY WANT ME.
I turn my body around just in time to see that the pugs were not done harassing me.
This time, they are full on sprinting.
Picture it in slow motion okay?
I am their target and they are full pledge coming at my direction.
Tongues are hanging out like some sick creature.
Ears are flapping.
Beethoven.
Not quite but close.
Shoot... I start hauling it down the street screaming my head off.
Screaming for life.
I know I sound so dramatic right now but at the moment I was fearful.
All of these horror stories of people getting attacked by dogs flashed in my head.
I will be one of those victims.
They are now chasing me down the neighborhood streets and the only words I can get myself to say are,
"GET THE HECK AWAY FROM ME."
They chase me back to my car and as I am trying to unlock it they are nibbling at my sweatpants.
For the love of Rachel GET OFF OF ME!.
I manage to get into my car and drive off, heart pounding and all so I decide to roll my windows down and bark back at them as I lay my foot on the gas...
Phew. I made it. Alive.
And no I didn't pay Rent today but I had a good reason as to why I didn't.
So if you own a pug dog.
Keep that rat away from me.
