I carried pepper spray when I was a meter reader. I had to go in backyards and dogs attacked me every day. It was routine. Just part of the job.
Watch that stuff in the wind. I've had it blow back in my face before. It's not fun having a dog coming after you and being blinded at the same time.
In all my years on that job I was only bitten once. By a tiny Chihuahua. It was so small that I ignored it and it got my ankle. It actually didn't really bite me. Just put a tiny hole in my sock.
The lady that owned it freaked out. I think that she thought I was going to sue her.
I told her to relax. I had plenty of socks. And I would be embarrassed if they guys at the office found out that that little sucker got me.
