How funny…yesterday I got more comments than I’ve gotten in a while, but I had the shortest entry I’ve written in a while. Are you guys trying to tell me something? 
Things that annoy me: Back-to-School sales and displays in JULY! It’s barely past the fourth of July and the stores have already filled their aisles with glue sticks, notebooks and writing utensils. There should be a law that back to school stuff should wait until August! 
Okay, on to other things.
- Yesterday we had a fun adventure with two dogs who were running lose in our neighborhood: one black, one gold. A neighbor tied the dogs into my next-door neighbor’s fenced yard (the gate was open so she figured the dogs had escaped). The black dog came to meet me when I came out. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I went back inside and kept watch. But when I went out again…the black dog was INSIDE the fence. I was totally confused!
Turns out..she could actually jump the fence, but the gold dog couldn’t, so the black dog refused to leave. She just jumped in and out all afternoon to be with her friend. I think the neighbors eventually let them out. I met their owner this morning hanging up missing signs (they were wearing collars with invisible fencing transmitters but no tags), but the dogs weren’t next door anymore. Hopefully, she gets them back…they were really sweet dogs. And the moral of the story: PUT TAGS ON YOUR DOGS! - Tonight I am hosting a Home & Garden Party thingy. It should be fun (I think there are about 10 people coming), but I have to clean and get ready. So that’s my agenda for today!
Great dog story! I would have loved to see that dog that kept jumpimg back and forth over the fence to be with his friend!! It must have been comical!! Let us know how the party goes!
Erik’s mom’s dog is never on a leash. They walk the dog with a whole lot of people every day and none of them use leashes. All the dogs are big dogs. They got fined and kicked out of one park because they weren’t following the leash laws. At least Rascal is a good dog, and supposedly all the others are, too.
Plus, they say a lot of bigger dogs will cross the fence to get out of their yards, but then are too scared to get back in because of the shock. Great – the bigger ones are just the ones we want out so they can get to us! You never know what a dog will be like – I think it’s better to be a wuss than to be attacked!
I also have a moment of panic when a dog charges me (sometimes even after I’ve figured out they have an invisible fence)! Unfortunately, you start to assume that all dogs have them, and some don’t! So I don’t think you’re a wuss!
Maybe I’m just a wuss, but I can’t stand electric fences. I still always think the dog is going to attack me!
Better moral: MAKE SURE YOUR DOGS ARE SECURE!
I saw on the news last night that the leash laws passed City Council. I’m so excited about that! I’d be even more excited if people would follow the laws!
Good point about the cleaning. I’m hoping Kayla keeps Donna busy while she’s there today, so she doesn’t feel the need to “clean” (i.e., hide) anything in my house!
Maybe I should have a party so I would clean my house…
