We have found out something that is disturbing. My wife got a broom out to clean the front porch. It was the first time that she had been around one while we have had her.

It took my wife some time to get her calmed down to see she wasn't about to be hit with it.
Oh, the things we discover with rescues.... my Australian Cattle Dog rescue was absolutely fearless, EXCEPT if we had to cross a bridge. Even a road bridge with pavement, induced wild-eyed panic and belly-crawling across it. It took years for this to change into simply walking warily across one.... makes one wonder what THAT was all about.
