and over the smallest things! Well, it's been a few weeks since I have cut with a blade, but scratching is another story. My husband noticed new scratches on my face today. I was avoiding the face, but panicked and forgot, or didn't care or something. The main thing provoking that is being attacked by dogs. I've been going for walks, and there are a few places where dogs are running loose, and they come after me. When I take one of my dogs along it seems to make an attack more likely. I have not been bitten, but today I got knocked down and snarled at, and a motorist driving by saw the dog going after me and tried to run over the dog. He missed, but then he got out and yelled at the kids whose dog it was. I felt worse about him trying to run over the dog than anything else, I think. I'm more likely to feel like hurting myself if there were people around. Another time I scratched my face after seeing the dog owner open the door and look to see what the barking was about.

I'm surprised to find myself feeling scared of dogs. I have not been afraid of dogs since I was 8 years old. And part of me wishes that the dogs would actually bite me.
