[nagdu] another what would you do question

Mon Apr 9 15:00:28 UTC 2012

When you go around this dog, just keep a little distance between you and 
this other.  Lte the other dog do what it does and control yours!  They'll 
get called out!  We can only control our dogs!  I do this and if someone 
else can't, well its not my probblem!  ----- Original Message -----
