LOL! People are SO freakin’ ridiculous!
Ruby and I are perambulating the north-eastern quadrant of the ‘Hood. This area is sandwiched between a broad, green park to the south and a desert wilderness area to the north. As we stroll along, we run into Wile E. Coyote, a resident of that wilderness park. He presumably has trotted down into the ‘Hood in search of a delicious stray cat.
Because, after all, EVERYone has a Constitutional right to let their cat run loose, right?
Oh, my goodness! The FLAP that dawg caused!
Every third passerby felt called upon to warn me, in hysterical tones, that there’s a coyote up there!
Eeek. Eeeek, say I. Eeek eeek eeeek.
Folks. Leave the damn dawg alone, and it will leave you alone. Keep your tame dog on a lead, and the coyote will leave your beloved pup alone.
Why on earth are people SOOOO stupid about such obvious things?
LOL! The coyotes around here want an encounter with you even less than you want an encounter with them. When they see or hear you coming, they turn tail and trot away.
Nevertheless, urban coyotes are among the reason we who have any common sense walk our dogs on a leash — along with the far more dangerous automobiles and unleashed dogs and stupid humans who think they must grab your dog, pet it, and feed it junk treats.
Am I the only one who’s flabbergasted and fatigued by the stupidity of our fellow humans?
