I moved. Finally. But now, every time I go to my usual café I have to pass a street, which seems to have an antagonising effect on dogs. Which is not a good situation for someone with a (though decreased) fear of dogs.
The usual state of the SA dog is lying sleeping in the sun, but on this street there are ALWAYS crazily barking dogs. And it is a very narrow street with houses baring down from both sides. Fortunately the dogs are usually so occupied barking at each other, that they have not ganged up on me...yet.
I could obviously walk on a different street, but I guess, as Barbara used to say, I'm strengthening my personality.

Additionally: I still have not seen a female dogs, some bitches, but no female dog
