Now that my heartbeat has calmed from a whine to a purr...

So I'm building my third veg bed out back, minding my own business, and I hear the alsatian over the back go berserk and a girl shriek. Damn near shat myself, but I pulled out my pruning knife and ran up to climb the fence. Got to the fence and it turns out somebody's brought an unfamiliar dog into the garden, the alsatian's showing dominance in its own territory and the girl shrieked at the aggression of it. 

Fucking frit the life out of me!
