Small things in life that gravel your ass

One of the dogs was a little Yorkie who hung out inside a backpack and other one was some mid-sized houndish thing that was out of control trying to jump on people. There is zero chance that the second one was a service dog and less 25 that the Yorkie was.

Last Saturday in the park, I was running on the trail and one of the Rangers pulled up to a woman near me and very politely said, "Ma'am, your dog is required to be on a leash in the park." As I ran by, I heard the woman say, "I'm just finishing up and going to my car." The Ranger then reiterated his polite request. Hey, dimwit, it's not an option. It's a rule so your sweet little mutt won't go out of control and attack someone, which has happened to me more than once on my runs.

When did dog owners become loathsome, selfish, self-centered, inconsiderate, lying pieces of human excrement? I always thought that dog owners were cool, but in the modern world they've apparently become loathsome, selfish, self-centered, inconsiderate, lying pieces of human excrement.

--sarcasm-- Because it is my dog. And I am more important than you. /font
