To be honest, I rarely think twice about walking by myself. Usually I have the pupster with me, but not a leash (unless I'm on the road), so she runs up to people and jumps on them for me.

She did back off from one guy when we were walking
one time, so I suppose she might be some protection. I always bring her with me when
I'm swimming alone.
eww, I was thinking of registering
on this site, but I am so repelled by the photo on the front of the site, that I'm not sure I will. Actually I went back and I see there is a different photo every time you look at it. The first was of a girl, maybe college aged or younger, who looked a bit like J-Lo, but was dressed like a teen, and she was kneeling on her bed grinning like an idiot, with her laptop in front of her on the bed. Is this supposed to attract horny middle-aged men? The 2nd time I went there, there was a nerdy guy with a soul patch, and the 3rd time there were 3 cute young girls wearing tank tops, crowded together looking at a laptop. Oh brother.
Prolly ought to go cook something.
