Sometimes life deals you some really strange surprises. Early Saturday morning, my daughter and I were walking to the hospital so she could have lab work done. We were casually strolling along Wilkens Avenue about 8 in the morning when out of the blue comes this dog running towards us and starting jumping on Nisha. I started screaming, kicking and beating this "beast" with my pocketbook when Nisha started screaming for me to "stop killing it". The dog (Jaspur as his name) was not attacking her as I thought, he was playing with her. He started chasing her in circles (around my legs), licking her hands and jumping on her chest. I had never seen anything like this. While they were cozying up to one another, I was left standing there looking like nothing less than an absolute idiot. My legs were weak, my heart was beating out of my chest and I may have had some unscheduled body activity happen. The dog's owner, who was watching the event from her porch, got a real kick out of what was going on and eventually I did, too. The owner said Jaspur is often around her young grandchildren and he gets frisky with all kids. Like most people, Nisha does not like having blood sucked out of her body. She asked if we could walk to the lab that time instead going in the car. She said if we walked, it would take longer and maybe the lab workers would be gone. I had not planned on walking along Frederick Avenue, Caton Avenue and Wilkens Avenue back and forth that early Saturday morning, but I sure am glad I did. Nisha made two new friends who made her lab visit a sweet one. Meeting Jaspur and his owner in Violetville sure did make a little girl's day. Thank you, Jaspur.
