So, I’m walking my dogs this afternoon around the neighborhood, listening to music on my iPhone, and they pull me up into someone’s yard. This house has a circular driveway, and I was pulled a few steps up into it.<\/p>\n
Then I hear a voice coming over my music, “Can I help you?” At first I listened closely wondering if the voice was coming from my song, then I looked up and saw a women in the doorway continuing to say “Can I help you?”<\/p>\n
So I take out my headphones. “What?,” I ask.<\/p>\n
“Can I help you?” she continued to ask. Then I realized by her tone she was in a huff.<\/p>\n
“No,” I said, taken a little aback, “I’m just walking my dogs.”<\/p>\n
She continued to look at my crossly, staring me down as if looks could kill.<\/p>\n
“C’mon,” I told my dogs, pulling them away towards the street.<\/p>\n
“Hmmmph,” she grunted.<\/p>\n
I walked away feeling a little angry. I was wishing at that moment I’d pulled a Larry David on her, but part of me was worried I’d get a typical Larry David result and out of her door would come her 6′ 8″ husband!<\/p>\n
Still it got under my skin as I was walking home. I was thinking, “Where are the dogs supposed to go to the restroom, in the street? What, am I hurting your driveway? Are the dogs feet disturbing your lawn?”<\/p>\n
I had a plastic bag to pick up any waste. So what is proper dog walking etiquette? Are you not supposed to ever let them walk into anyone’s lawn?<\/p>\n
Thanks for your response and help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
