What is the motto of the boy scouts?

The other day I was out on my usual early morning walk. I had Honey and Luca with me on a Flexi-leash (Yeah, yeah I know. They are very bad for obedience). A friend of mine was nice enough to take Emily, our little foster girl, so that I wasn't walking three dogs. It was around 6.15 am and started to dawn. We were walking along, chatting up a storm and suddenly Honey starts barking and takes off in full speed, running towards the street we just had crossed. Did I mention that it was really cold? Like in the low 30's? With her amazing speed and the added leeway of the Flexi-leash she gained so much momentum, that she pulled me around 180 degrees and ripped the leash out of my gloved hand. Feeling like my arm just got torn out of my shoulder and being afraid that she would run into the street, I couldn't help myself and I started yelling. This of course got everyone else excited. Little Miss Emily ran between my legs and I tried not to trip over her. Of course, it had also stirred up Luca and in his excitement he circled around me, wrapping his leash around my legs like butcher twine around the Sunday roast. At that moment I realized that I had lost all my composure and wasn't sure anymore if I should laugh about myself or start to cry. Both options didn't seem too inviting, hence I resorted to get mad. Fortunately, Honey had stopped in her tracks when I yelled at her, but still hadn't stopped barking. I hadn't seen them, but two joggers had come running around the corner with a dog and I guess Honey thought that it was of utmost importance to protect us. At this point I am not only mad but also embarrassed and I am apologizing profusely. I can't help myself but to think that they must hate me. Can you imagine, you are jogging along minding your own business and suddenly a dog comes charging at you????? I finally untangle myself get Honey's leash and everyone involved seems to calm down. However, I am so upset about the whole thing that I have to take a few deep, deep breaths and remind myself that it is actually my own fault. I always advice everybody else to make sure to watch your dog and look out for any signs and BE ALWAYS PREPARED. Apparently, I didn't take my own advice. I guess I had become too comfortable or some may say too cocky!
