Faulkner Street is a funny street - it has a little bit of everything from the nicest houses in Orangeville, to garages for rent, to Mackie's gym, to "The Professional Building". And of course ODSS. It's a mixed bag, and always busy.
However, it was a little quieter this week because of March Break. Nice and calm. Until, a lovely middle-aged woman started screeching at her two dogs. One happy collie had lolly-gagged after a car, giving a few requisite barks as dogs do. This dog was not on a leash, so naturally, it was interested in all of the smells and movements of the morning. The woman absolutely started freaking, "GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW YOU BAD, BAD DOG!" ugh, yuck. Who wants to hear this dog getting told off for doing what is natural to do if you are part of the dog world? Her other dog took this chance to sneak over and have a sniff of the garbage bins. "YOU GET OVER HERE YOU BAD DOG, BAD, BAD DOGS!"
Needless to say, I wanted to yell at *her*, she was making a scene that no doubt a number of people were disturbed by.
There is an easy solution to this problem. Keep your dog on a leash so that you do not have to have a tirade in quiet neighbourhoods early in the morning.
