Well today I finally saw it happen and hubby took some of your advice and lets just say hubby now has 4 band aids and an ice pack on his ankle. He will give it another shot tomorrow but this time he will be taking the tennis racket with him. If it happens again I will be putting him up on craigslist or he will be dinner (the rooster that is) not hubby, lol.
he came after me a few times, and I Whacked him with the nerd sword. He looked at me like, "is that all you got?!". I backed up until I was able to grab a rake. Then he left me alone. But since he came so close to beating me that time, he went out of his way to attack me, and we had to get rid of him.
