There are far, far too many dogs in the world. "A well-trained dog is a joy and a delight. An untrained dog is a damned nuisance. Most dogs are untrained." - Stewart Brand Within the last two days: A) on my mountain bike, I thought I would get run into by a large dog running illegally off-leash in our local forest preserve. The owner didn't hear me coming because she was yakking on her cell phone. She apologized, but continued allowing her dogs to run. B) Our very nice neighbors' micro-dog has yapped loudly when it saw me outside. It also yapped loudly when it didn't see me outside, because it yaps incredibly loudly any time anything catches its attention. That's true even at 7 AM. C) I spent some time with a very sweet, intelligent Golden Retriever at a friend's house. But that young dog is still too excitable to be trusted not to jump on guests. Hopefully it will calm down as it matures. I've known a very few very nice dogs. I've known a few tolerable dogs. I've known or encountered hundreds of obnoxious dogs. Unless a person lives in the country and hunts, farms or runs a ranch, I don't see the attraction. Aye Chihuahua! You will be labeled as a sociopath who hates animals, humans and baby Jesus. Pitch-forks and torches are coming your way. -- Jay Beattie. |
