[nagdu] More loose dogs!

[Debby Phillips]

Hi Daryl, do you guys have Animal Control there? At least where I 
live, dogs are not supposed to be outside without leashes unless 
they are in a fenced yard.  I remember a neighborhood I lived in 
when I was in Portland.  These people just let their dog run 
loose.  It was probably a nice enough dog, but very distracting, 
and very scary to me.  This dog would just come running up and be 
all in my dog's face, and my face.  I finally told the kids that 
the dog belonged to that if they did not keep their dog on leash 
or in their yard I was going to call Animal Control.  I was 
pretty mean about it I guess, but like you, I was sick of having 
to deal with it.  After that I didn't have any problem.  I'm sure 
they still let the dog run loose, but when they saw me they 
grabbed it.  And I would have called, too.  Those kids could not 
control the dog, only the dad and mom could, and they weren't 
always outside.  I did kind of feel sorry for the kids, after the 
fact, but it was just scary having that dog run at us like that.
