Several small dog owners around here are really careless about letting them run around outside off leash. I don't know what makes tiny dogs want to charge giant dogs like ours, but we're afraid it's going to end badly one day. I've considered printing out copies of the city ordinance involving leash laws and leaving them in the offending owners' mailboxes.

I think it's terrible unfair to dogs to be so confined, but the safety of children and adults must be considered. Long gone my childhood days when we were taught how to act with dogs and vice versa. Of course, there no longer is the poo problem.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-45674454679357468232018-06-27T13:44:30.875+01:002018-06-27T13:44:30.875+01:00It was good that you were close by when the scuffl...It was good that you were close by when the scuffle happened.

Now she is always on the lead sadly and meets dozens of other dogs as almost everyone on my estate seems to have one. I am amazed how quickly she has become used to them and is now amiable and interested.
