Why

[Cataboo]

Ahem, I was on foot, walking my dog, when this happened. I wasn't "inconvenienced," but it was a safety issue. The combination of the bus, parents, cars, and kids freaked out my 85lb golden. The fact that they were p*ssing around made it worse (I had to get down on the curb and hold my dog to keep her from bolting. Not one of them showed an ounce of consideration.)
.

I totally understand why this would be annoying. However, if you think it's an outright safety issue with your dog to be walking him near people and cars and hubbub, then maybe you need to change your dog walking route or work on training him or whatever.

Sometimes I ride on narrow twisty roads with no shoulders. I've had drivers wait FIVE minutes to pass me. An inconvenience for them, I'm sure. But I do appreciate it.

Share the road/sidewalk/whatever. I've learned that most people have agendas that do not suit mine, it's not personal. Five minutes is not substantial in the scheme o' life. Don't sweat it.
