is your dog restrained?

Aug 21, 2006 11:02

I am SO enraged right now I don't know what to do. I have to vent to somebody and Matt Gin himself is not present. So, I set out for a happy little run this morning, full of enthusiasm and vigor. I am going to run 10 miles I tell myself. I want to run this route that I have run before, with an addition of 1 mile, going on 3 new roads. In Indiana, ( Read more... )

i'm sorry that this happened, babe. i'm going to head to the store and buy some leashes so that when a dog comes up to you, you can put it on a leash and tie it to a tree... then laugh because the dog can't follow you.

Matt Gin is a genius! That is a great idea.

I hate it when people don't restrain their dog. Like when I take Riley for a walk and these big dog deside they want to come over and Play (read jump on and bite) Riley). You look for the dogs owners and they are no where to be found. However if something happened to their dog they'd be all up in arms demanding to know why their dog is injured or lost. Grrrrr. Reading your story has upset me at people's stupidity. (I must tell myself that people are not that incosiderate, but they usually are).

It's funny, no more than an hour after I read this, I went on a walk with my mom. This little white yippy dog came dashing at us, and I really thought it wasn't tied up. But then it reached the end of it's unrealistically long rope. As in, it was probably at least 50 feet long...for a dog that stood maybe a foot tall. Anyway, I think you should run with a taser. Dual purpose: keeps away scary men (ie...the caucasian!) AND overly friendly/mean dogs! I like it.

People don't discipline their children, how could you expect them to train their dogs?

Matt has the right idea, run with a lease so you can lease the dog and run with it, then lock it in a small cage and wait for reward posters before you just happen to "stumble" upon the lost beast in the park. If no reward posters are to be had, then at least the dog learned its lesson about following strangers and getting locked into small places.

Dogs suck gjpure October 19 2006, 15:09:11 UTC

I hate it when dogs bark and come after be when I run. I am totally afraid of them all attacking me, because it happened once and now I am traumatized. I always think now that if one comes after me I will just turn around and kick it. I am also afraid of being hitting by a car. Running is definitly dangerous. Maybe it should be part of the X games.
