It was flipping horrible..I was stuck, I felt humiliated and alone..so now Iknow how a dog feels, and I feel even more terrible..
At 6.30 my friend came with her 4 dogs and that made it a bit better..I had to go pee so bad at that time, but I was not about to leave my post. By 8 AM I was finally able to use the washroom, andback on the chain.
Then the people came from our local TV station, photographers and newspapers. More co-workers than towns people came which was nice.
However a man had shown up early in the morning, and he was questioning me for a while, I asked him if he was a reporter and he said NO, his dog was stolen last week or something, and he thought it had to do with me..it felt like an interrogation..anyway he left and soon thereafter another woman came because her chained dog was stolen last week, also a chained one, and she also thinks I have something to do with this..It turned quite nasty, I felt harrassed and intimidated by her, and asked her a few times to give me personal space, which she did not do..I called the cops, but because she was not uttering threats there is nothing anyone can do..she has the same right as I do to sit there..( which is true)..anyway, this woman seems to be weird...and I phoned Randy who came and at 2 PM I was getting scared as this woman set up camp 10 feet away from me..
I went home, feeling like total loser..so this is a bit my update...a lot more happened after this, but let me not bore you with the details..
Seattle is in the planning I think..still..
