Darting dogs

Clearly, your dog has jumped your fence. If your dog does so and causes injury to injures a person, you should bear the entire responsibility for that injury because you know that you need either a bigger fence or a chain.

Again. No shit. Hence my actions to ensure this doesn’t happen. And if you think someone with more than half a brain doesn’t know this, then it’s finger wagging.

How about I tell you how to be a more responsible parent and see where that gets us?

Would someone please lock this thread which keeps spiraling into an ever-deeper cesspool of animosity?

Never strap your child to the roof of the car. It ruins the gas mileage.

My wife was bitten by a German Shepherd as a little girl in Hungary. She has the scar to prove it, and a fear of dogs that has lasted more than half a century. Our daughter, OTOH, loves dogs, and she and her friends once had one follow them for miles while hiking in Israel. Getting it back to its home on a collective settlement was an adventure. Go figure. She is in Israel again, on break. Her mother would be less nervous if she (our daughter) were in Singapore. Where I guess they keep both children and dogs on a short leash, so to speak.

Now, now. Let’s all play nice please! We’re all in this together. Remember, there is a WAR ON CARS out there….

I was bit by a dog while I was riding my bike once. I was in 6th grade and was just out riding and got to the point where I was ready to go home, so I stopped (on the shoulder of the rural two-lane road) to look both ways before I crossed the road to the other shoulder to ride back, like a good little non-salmoning cyclist. Dog that lived at the house I stopped in front of* came running down the driveway and across the road to chase me. I did not ride fast enough and the speedy little ankle biter caught me and bit my ankle! Didn’t really hurt that much, but broke the skin, resulting in a tetanus shot that did hurt.

So if you are going to try to outrun the dog, I recommend actually being faster than the dog.

*Dog that lived at the house in front of which I stopped, for those of you who object to dangling prepositions.

“Darting Dogs”???
Sorry i’m late to this party, but are we talking the ones dipped in blowfish toxin that would temporarily paralyze them like in James Bond, or the ones used on lawns?
The latter would be down right mean. The former would be hysterical, but who has any blowfish lying around these days?

My kids like it up there.

My dog bit me after I did this to her.

Her explanation was that “Dogs are not humans and had no interest in pursuing any wheel conveyances.” My kid then accused me of being a bad parent.

Too late for some of us.

Punch line of the potcake pack story is that daughter walked us to our hotel one afternoon, with the dogs platooned around her. She sat down with us at the bar for a Bambara & tonic and the dogs all jumped into the pool. We may have been the only guests that month, but this was not popular with management.

This has nothing to do with dogs, darting or otherwise. Maybe it has something to do with darting calendar entries though.

What was notable about 3:15 pm this afternoon? What was notable 15 seconds after that?

If you go by the 24-hr clock, the date and time at that moment was the following:

1/5/15, 15:15:15

Check out Pie Day coming up! Rumor has it that the Pie Guy has some plans. It is a saturday and I think we need a BAFS event.

But I’d you go by the 24-hour clock, you don’t write your dates that way.
