My good friend has a new dog, really she says he is a puppy. But he is big and rambunctious and scary. He barks and jumps. She now has a broken collar bone (not from the dog) so when I came to her house to bring her some baked goods I was glad to see the dog was out on the deck behind closed door. But she was too lonely for him and let him in and he jumped all over me and barked.

I wish I wasn't so afraid of dogs.
