[NAGDU] What's that in front of me?

Very cool, Vivianna!  Also very neat that the dog/obstacle was so nice!  I seldom run into nice dogs in my neighbourhood!

and, now, for my story..

We were having one of those days of high wind and severe cold.  I and the dog were bundled up to go to Walmart for something or other that was vital to get that particular day.

We have to cross at a t intersection to get to the WalMart driveway.  As we were getting to the last section of road before the up curb, Maggie starts dancing around, snaking this way and that, etc.  This is not normal for her, so I of course followed her, but made uncomplimentary mutterings under my breath in regard to her dance moves.  We finally got to the up curb and this person came running up to us and grabbed my arm.  Apparently, there was a downed power line and Mags had gotten us around the thing, which was jumping all around, etc.  When we came out of Walmart some time later, they were still fixing it and we had to navigate around the hydro trucks out there on the way home, but the live wire had already been dealt with, thank God!!

Long live smart dogs!!
