I guess I’m fortunate in that our town has leash laws and people obey them … or do they? Does it count when they walk their dog on a 20′ flexi and DON’T USE THE F****** BRAKE? The whole point of having your dog on leash is so that they’re under control and NOT running loose all over people’s yards.
There’s this guy somewhere in my neighborhood with a big sib/mal type dog. Walks the dog on a flexi – dog’s over the place, which includes making a stop in every yard they pass.
Caught him doing it again this morning – I was out with Jayda, damn dog comes RUNNING into my yard towards us.
So as nicely as I could muster, I yelled “PLEASE get your dog OUT OF my YARD!” I hear the guy’s thumb brakeing the flexi (mind you, the dog was near the full extension) and walks a short way away …
Then he LAUGHS!!! And stands there. Hellooo are you F**** Brain Dead??? I just yelled at you for letting your dog run on MY property (that I pay a s***load in taxes to have) and you don’t think maybe you should make it a priority to keep walking? Meanwhile, here’s his dog, standing on it’s hind legs looking over my hedge at Jayda like she’s a SNACK. (To the dog’s credit, didn’t seem like overt dog or human aggressive, but definitely saw prey drive.) Jackass owner continues to STAND THERE!!!
I grabbed Jayda and carried her into the house. Wasn’t all THAT worried for Jayda, but the guy’s dog could have easily hurt one of the outdoor cats that hang out here, so in addition to the principle of the thing I REALLY don’t want him making a habit of this.
Unfortunately, this is the second time it’s happened. Next time I catch this a****** I’m gonna get it on video and post it online “How NOT to walk your dog on a flexi”!!!
You want your dog to run, go to the freakin’ dog park! Yeesh!!!
