I got chased by a French dog or two, too, Mark.

Thanks, Bessie — that’s the earlier home in Chattanooga; I’ve been in the South too seldom to know, but perhaps many or most homes were built for the climate, with some similar arrangement in Atlanta.

Sometimes when my cat streaks indoors to escape the barking of a dog two yards away, I wonder about that, Alison. It’s probably true. Probably.

Your story brought to mind the picture of a Southern State’s Mission home I saw at the Amateur Mormon Historian’s blog a couple of years back. I found it here.

A dog could easily access this porch.
Thank you for the account, I thoroughly enjoyed!

By contrast, every dog in Japan was a veritable child of Hell, and saw it as his duty to attack every missionary who was simply trying to do his duty.

I generally like dogs, but the Japanese dogs did not like me!

Still, I’d take two (or ten) years in Japan over a similar length of time in Georgia.
