has always been afraid of thunder but now he is afraid of people on bicycles.
I was walking him one evening when a couple of young teenage boys came by with bikes. One of them came back and went right for Ricky, spinning his tire and just barely missing him. Then they took off laughing. I yelled at the one boy: "did you think that was funny?" And he said "you're(&*()*^%$%^ing right I did, you stupid _)*(&%$#%. I now carry my cell phone and a baseball bat.

Now, when ever Ricky sees someone with a bike coming down the street, he starts barking and hides behind me.
