Greetings:
One of the best ways to stay out of trouble is to avoid it all together. I wrote about the "attack" on my Yorkies a couple of days ago. Very scary. However Surrobbie my little female simply removed herself from the situation. The best thing she could have done
This morning as we were walking I heard a noise behind me. I turned around to see the St. Bernard rounding the corner. The owner had a hold on his leash, however that didn't stop him last time. Surrobbie spotted him at the same time I did and she simply turned around and bolted in the opposite direction. She wasn't even going to give him an opportunity to cause trouble.
We quickly took a side exit around the bend and got out of the way. The lesson here is sometimes the best way to stay out of trouble is to simply avoid it. If you know there are people, places or things that will get you into trouble don't tempt yourself. There is no reason to walk into the candy shop when you are on a diet. You just don't need to put yourself in that situation. The same goes for situations with people. If you know you always end up in an argument with Uncle Fred, avoid Uncle Fred.
Surrobbie has the right idea, don't tempt fate. When possible avoid the situation, that way you won't have to figure a way out of it or get enmeshed in it!
Love my Yorkies,
Rachelle
