It is 3 am, and I am up again. There are so many thoughts running through my head. The trip to Florida for Christmas has been a disaster so far. Okay, so not a total disaster, but it's one of those times when you make a horrible decision, and it's one of those decisions that you will never ever forget for the rest of your life.
We decided to bring my daughter's dog (pit bull) with us on the trip. Harley has been nothing but a sweetheart around everyone. I am also a person who is way too trusting and wants to see the good in everything. I really have to change that. Anyway, I did not let my sister in law know that she was coming because Harley is so good and stays so well in a room for hours. All day if needed. My sister in law is petrified of pit bulls, and she has grandchildren that she was rightfully worried about. Well, I told her how sweet Harley was, and how calm, blah, blah, blah. You see where this is headed, right?
My girls left for Disney, and I decided that Harley would be okay running around in the backyard. Well, my sister in law came into the backyard a different way and Harley started growling and barking at her. She happened to be in the chair with me, so I had a hold of her, and she really wasn't pulling that hard. Once my SIL was outside of the gate, I let Harley go because she had stopped barking and growling. Well, my sister in law came back in the gate, and Harley went for her. She jumped up on her and tried to bite her, I think. I know she jumped on her and was close to her face, but Harley quickly changed her mind and ran in another direction. Well, by sister in law was shaken as was I. It's one of those visions that I will keep forever, and I hate it.
So, this wasn't going to be the best Christmas anyway because of my husband being gone, but NOW I have that.
I am looking for a campground for us to stay in for the rest of our visit. I certainly don't trust Harley as much as I used to, and I do not want her around anyone unless my daughter is within sight. I really just want to go home, but it won't change what happened.
