OMG! I hate dog owners who let their dogs run lose... I was just complaining about this yesterday. I love dogs. We live walking distance from the beach and so 3 or 4 times a week, we head for the beach. This is Buddy's favorite past time, he can spend hours in the water, chasing tennis balls, and chewing up clam shells. On the beach Buddy is on a 20' lead and a 4' leash. The 20' lead lets him run after balls, while the 4' leash, lets me hold him to my side in case he has one of his attack moods. Here's the problem, which got me to complaining about dogs not on leash yesterday: The first thing you see when you step on the board walk is a huge sign: Dogs only allowed on beach from 5PM to 10AM ALL DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES! Please clean up after your dog. You notice how they put the dogs on leash in big bold print? Well, that's because there are 2 million people on this beach once summer goes full swing, and the town has been having massive problem...

Why are some people so mean? Actually, I think sleep has a lot to do with it. Think about it, a mother has to get up at 6 to cook breakfast, get the kids up and dressed, drive them to school, make sure husband is up in time to get to work, get ready for work, drive to work, deal with fellow workers and costumers. Slave at work so long that the kids are forced to get a ride or take the bus home, so she misses out on hearing the news of the day (which by the time she gets home the kids have told someone else so see no need to tell her). Than when she does get home her husband expects her to wash the laundry, vacuum the floors, pick up his work cloths which he threw on the floor because he was in a hurry to turn on the tv and watch some stupid game while getting drunk, than complains if it's past 6 o'clock and she hasn't cooked supper yet. Than his parents drop by at 9 o'clock and refuse to leave, she doesn't get to bed till midnight, and she had no time to rest no tim...
