Democrat and Chronicle: "My husband Don and I spent a wonderful, relaxing week on the beautiful island of Barbados. Having gained its independence from England in 1966, the island still maintains its British aura. We spent most of our days relaxing by the pool or taking long walks on the beach. We explored St. Lawrence Gap, a shopping and entertainment area. We took a snorkeling trip on a 50-foot catamaran. Our trip that day included lunch on the boat, and plenty of rum punch! Another day, we took a guided tour of the island, which included the eastern side of the island, noted for its rocky coastline."
I came face to face today with a vicious Akita,me and my little girl, luckily I had her in my arms while we were about to walk through the West Terrace district.We came around a corner and there was this huge Akita.It was actually taller than my little girl.She would have been looking it straight in the face. Now I am naturally afraid of dogs even the smallest of Chihuahuas.I avoided eye contact with the dog although peripherally I could see that he stopped and looked up at me.I continued walking calmly as though there was no threat about. Why do I say he was vicious? That is what I am hearing from people living in the area.Maybe he was just out of his territorial zone but I hope his owners keep in fenced in a lot better.That is something that I wouldn't want to happen again. Just a few months ago a child was mauled by an Akita.There was a time when the main dogs you used to encounter was the 'lowly' salmon tot retriever;A unique Barbados mongrel.Such is not the case now.To
