Or maybe signs every 50 feet that read, "Dogs must be kept on a leash at all
times. No exceptions. That means YOU."
I was at Pocahontas State Park today and a woman was throwing a stick for
her unleashed dog and it went trampling after it, scaring away the two Wood
Thrushes I was watching. I asked her to please put her dog on a leash and
she snidely remarked, "I left my leash in the car," and stomped on by. So
much for "peaceful co-existance."
Irene, tired of having birds scared off
