Two Face & Slim

There is this place I have been dying to take pictures at.  It has a bunch of old cars in front of a 100 year old abandon school building and it would be a perfect background for pictures, especially for my sister B because she is not a girly girl and needs a cool background.  Well yesterday we decided to go try out this place.  I have been by there several times and always noticed there was a dog out front so when we got there I was too scared to go into the yard but my sister has always been good with animals so it didn't scare her.  She got out of the truck and walked up to the dog - it was friendly so J my sisters best friend and I got out of the truck.  We yelled out to see if anyone was there but didn't hear anything so we went next to this truck and I took a picture of my sister. 

After that one picture we heard a dog barking from inside the school and then we heard someones voice.  We were a little scared and my sister and her friend J started to run back to the truck when we heard a door opening, out came another dog and an old man.  We told him that we were there to take some pictures in front of the cars and asked him if that would be ok, he said it was fine but mumbled something about staying away from the road because of the police.  We made small chit chat about how interesting all the cars were.  He told us that he had some really interesting cars in the back of the school.  We followed him back there and saw this really cool 1960 something car - I'm not really a car person so I don't remember what it was.  At this point the two dogs had started to fight with each other.  I mean fight like I have never seen before, they were tearing each other apart.  We didn't know what to do the old man told us that if we tried to break them apart with ourselves the dogs might turn on us so we just sat there and watched these dogs fight.  He picked up a wood stick and started to hit one of the dogs - we didn't like it but we didn't know what else there was to do.  The dogs didn't stop fighting and the old man said that if we walked off they would stop but just then he started to get something out of his pocket and bent over and a gun fell out.  Of course this scared us and B & J started to run towards the front of the school.  I just slowly turned around and headed towards the front as he picked up the gun and put it back in his pocket.  We waited in the front and finally the old man came back and the dogs were done fighting.  We continued to talk to him for a while and found out his name was Slim and his dogs name was Two Face.  The other dog was dropped off at his place this summer by somebody and he didn't know what to do with it and asked if we knew of anyone that wanted a guard dog - unfortunately we don't.  We also learned that he is in bad health and that his dog Two Face was very dear to him and he had had him since he was a pup. After all the commotion we decided to leave with out taking anymore pictures but promised to come back.  We are going to go back and visit Slim next week.
