Sorry, long post

XM...Megatron's cute & if I met him in a park or beach, i'd first think.."hmm, big dog, will it slobber all over me and want to say hello?" or ???

I too don't like kids and it freaks me out when i take Yukon to (one of many in Perth, a very long city) the doggie (ie non leash beach w doggie doo bags) and see the following:

People without doggies(and pay close attention to this) but will toddlers walking along the dog beach....There are many many many normal non dog beaches near our fave dog beach and don't understand what they're doing there??? Doggies running everywhere..

Last weekend, I think one parent got the message when I appeared very worried thier small child was toodling as yukon was just coming out of the water to bring me her ball. I noticed they had the little on on thier shoulders afterwards.

People swimming in the doggie beach area...without doggies with them. ??? There's an area further down the lonnnnnng beach that's for humans to swim in...

I know it's an odd example but when i'm at the doggie beach, i don't let Yukon go anywhere near children. I scan the beach and place our stuff where no kids are wandering.

Also, when i venture to a normal beach that eventually intersects w a dog beach, i'm aware there are doggies around and give them room. I think most people figure that out...
