When the bite impacts past the attack Dear Annie: I live in Texas in a small neighborhood and am still relatively new to this area. Two years ago, a traumatic event happened to me not long after I’d moved in. I was on my daily walk through the neighborhood. (I used to go two miles daily, just to clear my head.) I was passing by a neighbor’s yard when their three (unleashed) dogs violently attacked me. The dogs dragged me 40 yards through a pasture. Fortunately, three men intervened and saved my life. It was a horrific ordeal, and I still suffer from some injuries that I incurred during the attack. I’ll have to self-catheter for the rest of my life. I have PTSD. My question has to do with the fact that the dog owners were never fined or punished in any way. I keep trying to tell myself it happened for a reason — that I shouldn’t worry about justice coming out of it. You see, up until the attack, I was agnostic; I didn’t really believe in heaven or hell. But since the attack and those men saving me, I’ve come to believe that there is a higher power and he is very great and merciful. I still have problems going out for walks. I probably haven’t walked more than 15 feet outside my yard. I still regularly have nightmares about the event and replay it in my head. The people who own the dogs have more dogs now, just as violent, and they run loose. I keep worrying what would happen if a kid were attacked. So, should I just accept that as the justice, or is there something else that I should do? — Sincerely Confused Dear Confused: You can have faith that God will deliver justice in the end while still pursuing justice yourself in the here and now. Your concern transcends even your own personal trauma: It’s about making sure that this never happens to anyone else. You are rightly terrified. From the sound of it, it’s not a matter of if these dogs will injure someone else but when. I urge you to contact your local authorities, repeatedly, if necessary. There’s no way that it’s legal for your neighbors to allow their dogs to roam free like that, especially when they have a history of violence. The very least they could do is put up a fence. I hope you are seeking therapy. You’ve suffered incredibly serious trauma, and untreated PTSD can take a heavy toll both physically and mentally over the long term. As a supplement to therapy, I would recommend the book “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” by Dr. Bessel van der

Kolk. I am so sorry that this truly horrible thing happened to you. I pray that one day you can again enjoy your daily walks in the sun. ——— Dear Annie: I feel the same as Holiday Anxiety, the reader who hates all the hoopla surrounding the holidays. Luckily, I’m retired and can do what I want. I think of every day as special. I think of the holidays as commercial events designed to part consumers with their money. I no longer decorate, except for a small tree. I buy cookies rather than feeling obligated to make them. I shop locally. I ask everyone to bring a dish to pass around, rather than doing all the cooking myself. We play games. I’m loving the simpler life. — Wiser in Wisconsin Dear Wiser: I love that you’ve found what works for you (though I must add a note of caution not to gather with people outside your household this year, due to COVID-19). May we all minimize stress and maximize merriment.
Husband can’t carry a tune Dear Annie: My husband can’t sing. I’m not judging him for that, because I can’t sing either. The problem is that he thinks he can. Every morning, as I’m getting ready for work, he’s putting on a little concert in the bathroom. Nights when he’s making dinner, he puts on the radio and sings along as he cooks. His favorites are corny classic rock and ‘80s ballads with high notes that he never manages to hit. It’s irritating, and I find it unattractive. I’ve tried to hint to him to stop, but he doesn’t seem to get it. I go to a different room to avoid it, but I can still hear it. What can I say to stop these unrequested performances? — Not a Fan Dear Not a Fan: Singing not only expresses joy but also reinforces it: It causes our brains to release endorphins (the same feel-good chemicals that are released during exercise) and oxytocin, which has been shown to alleviate stress and anxiety. Your husband’s morning ritual is good for his long-term health. I say let him keep singing. I get it: Many of us are spending way more time in close quarters with our partners than we ever thought we would, and we’re discovering whole new pet peeves. But try to gently steer your attention back to the bigger

picture. Life is short. Love is long. And there may come a day when you’d give anything to hear that off-key voice from the next room. ——— Dear Annie: We, like many other families, are not going to get together for the holidays due to the coronavirus and quarantine restrictions. This is the first time in 45 years. What to do? Do I pack up what I can and send the gifts to our daughters? Or do I say we will just postpone our Christmas? It makes us sad. I am sure many families have met this roadblock before, and though I’m grateful to have been fortunate enough to have not, it is still hard! — Caroline M. Dear Caroline: The holidays really make clear the fact that “home” is not so much a place but a feeling, the one we get when we gather with our dearest loved ones. And this year, many of us will be home for Christmas only in our dreams. It’s a heartache. More important than the presents, is sharing some of the day with your loved ones, so schedule a family video call on Christmas Day. It’s no substitute for in-person time, but it’s what we’ve got and it does help. ——— Dear Annie: I live in The Villages, Florida, and, at last count, our neighborhood has given more than 80 sleeping mats made out of “plarn” to homeless people in the Ocala National Forest. Before COVID-19, we got together on a weekly basis to make the plarn and knit the mats. Many other groups here decreased potential litter from plastic bags by turning them into something useful. — Elise in The Villages Dear Elise: I’m so glad to hear that making these “plarn” mats seems to be a nationwide trend! I encourage anyone who has the time to check out plarn matmaking tutorials available on YouTube.
Shower her with gratitude Dear Annie: My girlfriend has done a lot for my family and me, but they show little enthusiasm for her. How can I get them to appreciate her more and to reciprocate what she has done? I live in fear of them attacking her or being cynical about romance itself. She has helped me to get a raise, helped me get a job, written letters to my family, gotten me a huge discount on rent, given my family free food and done other great things. — Lazy and Ungrateful In-laws Dear Lazy and Ungrateful InLaws: Your girlfriend sounds wonderful and very generous with both her time and finances. Congrats on finding what sounds like a keeper. As far as your ungrateful parents are concerned, you should speak with them directly and

express your concerns. If they continue to be ungrateful, then it might be time to pull back on your girlfriend’s generosity. Instead of focusing on your parents, try and focus on your gratitude toward her. I can feel your love and appreciation through this letter. Let go of your expectations of your parents and spoil her. Take her out to a nice dinner (or, since we’re still in lockdown times, cook her a nice dinner), or surprise her with flowers. Just something to tell her you love and appreciate her. ——— Dear Annie: I have been married for 24 years, and I found out in August that my wife has been involved in an affair since last January. I found out by going through her text messages and confronted her about it. She admitted to it but said that it has not gotten more physical than kissing. Now we are separated because she wouldn’t end it, but I still love her. I am alone now, and she, of course, is still in her relationship outside our marriage, but I would really love to have my family back together. She said that the reason she did it is because she just doesn’t love me that way anymore. I am so confused how someone can give up on a marriage that they have been in for half of their life. I have my faults, but I am certainly a good man and have sacrificed so much for my family. She has agreed to go out to dinner with me, and I am so nervous and excited that I don’t even know what to talk about at dinner. Any advice as to what to do? — Alone and Confused Dear Alone and Confused: I am so sorry you are going through this. It is understandable that you still love her. When you have dinner with her, ask if she would be open to going to marriage counseling to try to save your marriage. If she says no and that she wants to stay in her affair, it is time for you to walk away. Seek the help of a professional therapist for yourself. You sound like a wonderful, thoughtful and loving man with a great deal to offer. I have no doubt you will either rekindle with your wife or find true love with someone else.
Dear Annie: I went out with a friend from high school 36 years ago, and he was my first. After all those years of both of us being married to other people, we found each other on Facebook after our spouses passed away. We’ve been seeing each other for almost 10 months now, and he’s talking about getting married early next year. Not sure what people will think and say about us marrying only after a year of losing our spouses.

What should I do? — Lost for Now Dear Lost for Now: Are you sure you are lost for now? Or were you just found? What a blessing to reconnect and fall in love with each other. I’m sure your spouses would want you to be happy sooner rather than later, and it sounds like happiness is what you have found. What a gift. Go for it and enjoy each other. Friends who criticize you are not your real friends. ——— Dear Annie: I can relate to where Insecurities is coming from. I have been there many times, and it can be quite the struggle. A couple of years ago, I found an app that has been a source of relief for many issues, ranging from sleep issues to COVID-19 stress and anxieties of all kinds. The Tapping Solution is a guided meditation partnered with finger tapping of acupressure points to relieve whatever stress is bothering you. I have used it and can wholeheartedly recommend it. I encourage anyone to check it out. — Success Through Tapping Dear Success: Thank you for your suggestion of tapping. Tapping is combination of Chinese acupressure and modern psychology that uses fingertip taps instead of needles. The theory behind tapping is that all negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the body’s energy system, and that tapping can restore balance. Any tool that helps alleviate anxiety during this time is worth a try. ——— Dear Annie: My little brother was scammed two different times to the tune of over $70,000. At one point, the second scammer claimed to be in Indiana looking for him, but I was able to hack her emails and prove to him that she was emailing from the Philippines. In addition, I was able to find a news group where she posted, bragging about her exploits. He finally got out of that and has been married to a good woman for over 10 years. — Scammed as Well Dear Scammed as Well: I am sorry your brother had to lose all that money, but it’s good that he got his happily ever after. It sure sounds like he deserved it. I am printing your letter to alert others to always contact local authorities if you suspect improper activity.
