I was trying to get Athena to look at the camera for this picture but I think she was sensing that the mean dog that lives at this house was just about to run around the corner. I realized that was what was happening too late and Athena lunged forward when the dog appeared. I wasn't able to pull her back as I didn't have a good grip on her leash since I was holding my phone camera. The mean dog (I think her name is Civa) went ballistic. I usually see the dog waiting in the yard and move to the other side of the street. Most dogs aren't able to contain themselves as well as Civa does when they see another dog approaching their yard. She'll sit crouched down to the ground and wait to go nuts just as you pass her by. The first time this happened it had just turned dark. I saw her but she was so still and quiet that I thought she was a large rock. It scared the hell out of me when she went bonkers. This is the only other time I've been caught off guard.
