In this day and age where everything from rabies shots to dog park access to where you can poop is legislated by unscrupulous humans it’s hard not to fall on the wrong side of the law at least a few times.
For instance, yesterday I was caught waddling along at 1 mph in the left lane of our local walking park. Regulations say this lane is reserved for those cruising by at least twice that pace.
Sure I was breaking the law but shouldn’t there be one for the inappropriateness of others barking, “Move over Fatty” at you?
Then there was the time I peed on a neighbor’s mailbox, and some of their newly planted pansies. It was an appropriate response to a Maltese’s scathing message to the pups in the neighborhood. Well, the next thing you know, the owner comes flying out of the house like I was in the process of stealing her last pig’s ear. Did I break the law? Technically yes, but this woman didn’t realize the life giving goodness of my home made lemonade. Today, those pansies stand 5 foot high.
My most recent encounter was this morning on a neighborhood walk. After being cooped up inside all evening, our morning walks are more like neighborhood sprints. We take out of the gate at a blaring speed - hey, I have to burn off those pork ears somehow. This morning a wolf-like husky happened to be passing through as we were exiting the front door. Lu and I took off after the husky, dragging Mom along helplessly. Really we just wanted to do a little sniffing, but the wolf's owner did not like that. She accused us of scaring her dog and yelled at Mom for not controlling us. We weren't even barking. What an SOB.
Now that I think of it, I think this wolf kicked dirt in my face once at the dog park, stealing the cute border collie I was chatting up away from me. Stupid bully.
