I don’t hate dogs. I like them. I prefer them on a leash or somehow contained within the boundaries of a yard. The number of dogs loitering along the sides of our tiny road is multiplying seemingly exponentially. Today there were two who were apparently walking themselves. There are a couple of others who enjoy sitting guard at the end of their driveways… the prime starting point for car-chasing. I don’t want to hit one of these dogs. But I can only move my little car so close to the hedges lining the street. I’m afraid this isn’t going to end well. I really hope I’m just being paranoid.
