#runningwithdogs — Public Fediverse posts

Set off a bit too early after lunch on today's route, but after a km or two, wind changed direction, if you get what I mean, and it was more comfortable to run.

Forgot to take a snap on the run because I was "Dig(ging) That Groove Baby" with the awesome band Toy Dolls, much air guitar and drums were done. While singing along to to bangers like Fiery Jack, Glenda and the Test Tube Baby, Spiders in the Dressing Room, Stay Mellow, Nellie the Elephant and more. You should go and have a listen, if you don't like it, play it until morale improves, and I tell you it will, especially if you turn the volume to 11.

First run in a while, IRL and location has not made it easy to get a run in.

It went well until we met lose dogs.

Fair enough it's a public space and dogs are welcome on the beach. But if you are walking your dog there, keep it under control.

Not everyone is like me, someone who likes dogs a lot. And even if you are like me, you do mind if a random dog is running right up to you, with your dog or without a dog.

If I'm running or cycling I don't want to be tripped over, kicking/stepping/riding over a random dog or have them jump up and hit me squarely in "Stan and the boys".

Yes, maybe your dog is brilliant with other dogs, but how do you know that my dogs or others, are good with other dogs or humans. Heck, I know people who are scared of other dogs especially ones that they don't know and might be running right at them, but are happy with a certain breed of dogs.

So please keep your dog on lead, especially if the recall is not spot on, running after your mutt shouting "Jesus Christ, Fenton!", ain't a good look.

Keep an eye on your mutt, not your phone or the person you are nattering too, because you will miss your dog pooping in a random location. Which will lead to me getting the "fecking, dog owner, who never picks up after their mutt" looks, because you are a lazy dog owner.
