Howllo Fellow Hound and making it home safe lovers:

Talk about your wild ride. My Mom and I made it to the Bob Evans right outside of Columbus without a hitch. The typical 8 lanes of fast food joints, gas stations and motels. We arrive a bit early so we can potty out the baby and get some last minute love in. I tell my Mom to go ahead and use the Bob Evans bath room and I will get Halsbury out for her potty break. I am enjoying the large field behind Bob Evans very busy parking lot when I hear, “Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop (about 10 more times). I look up and across the field I see a swarm of men running and extending their arms at each other.

I grab Halsbury and run to my car and hide behind it. I watch for my Mom to make sure no one is coming in our direction. I see her and the coast is clear and I grab her to my side of the car. Peaking through the windows of my car I seen running and fleeing in all directions from the swarm. I looked at my Mom and said, could it be a paint ball place? Just then we hear the sirens. The place is covered in cop cars. We are at, what I determine to be a safe distance, but we are still not sure. Kevin, Halsbury’s next ride is on his way. The Cops are looking for the shooters and are patrolling the entire area. We see a punk looking couple get searched but they are let go.

Here is Kevin and Sarah. It was great to meet them. What a sweet couple doing a great deed.
See the Cop Car behind them? This is the field I was walking Halsbury in and that is where the shoot out was.

We made the switch very quickly and told them to look out. The shooters were still at large. I had the feeling it was not a random shooting, but between two groups or gangs. However, for the most part they do not care who gets in the way. No ambulances were called so I guess no one got hit.

Halsbury is probably on her way to Maryland right now with Kevin. She is spending the night with Kevin’s Mom, Tina.

Here she is with her two hounds! “Gomer is in front, Chloe is behind me. They both are rescues from Brood. We have had Gomer 1 1/2 and Chloe about 6 years. We also have 2 cats (rescues)”.

Can you believe it? Here it is, Sunday morning and there is a shoot out over who knows what. Then, there is me, an innocent bystander with a pup. It really makes me so sad. I just want to cry.

Good versus Evil
