Approach school gate carefully watching out for dog dirt, which sadly is a feature of many streets in this city. We keep our eyes peeled, do a few jumps to avoid several dog-created sausages and then
Result. Crying 6 year old. Stinking shoe. Social isolation in the classroom. Mother has a dry boak as she (that's me folks) tries to clean it off with a shred of paper tissue (nearby grass wouldn't shift it). Evil smelling.
And so the wee thing goes into a different playground, with a new teacher and new classmates, in tears. I want to go in with her, hold her, tell her its OK, bolster her confidence, but of course I can't.
Don't get me started on irresponsible dog owners.
What do you think the solution is to dog fouling???
OOOOOOoooooooh rhubarb - harsh words indeed (I kinda agree with you actually but I was too SCARED to type them out)..............
ReplyDeleteWhat about other pets - have you ever had any? Or does your loathing of dogs extend to other species?
PS I would link to your blog on the left hand side over there <~~~~~ but I don't know how to change the tags from "Edit Me" to talkrhubarb. Spent half an hour trying to decode html and then thought "pah"> Too little time, too much unfathomable nonsense!
Get a Tiger,let it roam around and the problem of stray dogs and crying children will I'm asured be solved!
