Whatr the H*ll was he thinking?
Yesterday my wife and I go out for an easy
10 miler around the neighborhood. As it is a
comfortable 65(F) degrees and sunny almost
everyone and their DOG is out.
So here comes my neighbor walking his dog (leashed).
as I get about 10 metres away, he unleashes the
dog who promptly runs directly towards me, I hit brakes
go a** over teacup and my neighbor states
"gee, he never chased bicycles before".
sometimes I'm truely amazed at the stupidity of people
when confronted with a bicycle.

1. Doggie biscuits
2. Very small shards of broken glass
3. Cyanide.
4. An alarm clock that will wake you at about 2.30am
Do I need to draw a picture here?

I hope it was a joke re the dog. Feed that to the owner, if you must, where the blame belongs.

He wasn't thinking. And next time he does that call the cops, because I know here that when the dogs off his proterty and not on a leash they can give a ticket ( normaly it doesn't result to that, but normaly people think). It will be a good $50 reminder to think next time.

I actually like the dog, a lab mix who is dumb as a post!
I had a talk with the owner, reminded him
about leash laws, and that most dogs will
chase bikes just because they can.
He apologized, and actually said he
didn't think the dog would do that.
I'm gonna wait till he's out pottering in
the garden and then let
Sassy my 75lb German shepard go visit him
(on a long line I use for training!).
