Newsflash: The city has leash laws, fuckhead

So Billy and I were just outside and we made the mistake of walking past Phillips Street park, where there was, of course, some idiot with his dog off-leash. We kept walking because in case you're new to this blog, Billy doesn't do so hot with strange dogs. He's pretty snippy when he's out on his leash, though he's typically perfectly happy to meet other dogs when he's at home.

Of course, as soon as the guy's dog sees us he starts heading over, and not slowly. He was a big dog and he was tearing towards us, looking pretty aggressive. I think he was a friendly dog who just wanted to say hi, but regardless, it was not OK. The guy immediately starts yelling at him to stop and come back, which the dog totally ignores, and heads straight to us. The only reason the dog didn't get bitten by Billy is because I knocked Billy off his feet pulling him away.

Not cool. My dog is 12 years old and minding his own business. There's no reason he should be knocked over by me, his owner, trying to save your out-of-control dog from getting bitten just because you're too much of a fucking asshole to show some common sense, common decency, and oh, yeah, maybe follow the law.

It's not optional if you think your dog is nice, or if you're under the false impression that you can control him/her under every possible circumstance. If you're in the city of Boston, and your dog is outside, it's on a leash. Period.

I really wish that I was better at saying what I think in person because I should have yelled at the guy but instead just headed away quickly as he uselessly scolded his dog with something like, "Bad dog, I told you to stay."

Fuck you.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
