I have another dog story already.
I was delivering mail and this house had their front door open but the glass storm door shut. There was no dog warning card or any indication to me of an animal. The mailbox was right next to the door. I approached and two dogs (a german shepherd and a rottweiler) ran for the door. My first thought was to secure the door so they could not force it open.
Too late.
the rottweiler hit the door with enough force to open it and he got his head out just as i slammed it back shut. The dog pulled his head back into the house and i held the door shut until the owner got to the dogs. Though it was just a few seconds it felt like forever.
It wasn't until I was walking to the next house that I realized how badly I was shaking.

I came close to having to use my dog spray today. Only thing that kept a freaking huge german shepherd off me was a flimsy storm door.

Yes. They give you a can of dog spray you are meant to carry on your satchel at all times. The scanner you use even tells you when there is a dog warning in the area and the supervisors all tell you to skip a house if you think there might be an issue with a dog. It was dead quiet when i got up to the door and all of a sudden a dog just ex machina's his way into the mix. I must not have heard my scanner go off.

Your avatar looks kind of like my aunt with that hair. How many painkillers does it take?

According to my thermometer my current temperature is 888.88 degrees celsius.
By my calculations that makes me a dead man. Or maybe it's time for a new thermometer

Did you guys know that dogs really do hate the mailman?
The post office gave me pepper spray for dogs.
I thought that was a cartoon schtick.

Some of the houses near where I live have fences that bow over to almost 30 degrees from vertical when the canine inhabitants contained thereby jump up on them to try and get me.
And then there're the dogs that jump up on their hind legs and place their growling faces a centimeter or two from the aperture of the letterbox, so I have to gingerly inch the newspaper into the box while keeping an eye on them for any indication that they're going to jump up any further to take a bite at my hand.
I've been delivering for nigh-on half a decade now without incident, and some of those dogs still get me edgy.

First day of on the job training tomorrow. Means a lot of walking around and using a 30 year old truck.
I'm not kidding by the way. They really are 30 years old. They don't always stay in park either.
