I Don't Care.
Well, I do a bit which is why I'm posting in search of your opinions.
I complained today about dogs at school. I like dogs and have always - as a previous dog owner - been mildly annoyed by dc's schools having a 'no dogs' rule as it made life a little tricky if doing dog walking close to school run time.
Anyway, I know you'll all be familiar with schools not allowing dogs in school grounds. This is largely ignored by a few parents at dc's school who thus choose to carry their dogs in to collect children (so several dogs close to face height).
What made me annoyed today was that four dogs were all tied up just outside the school gate and were getting grumpy with one another - one of them was a puppy - because they were all twisted up in one anotherr'd leads.
At this point my three all launch themselves at the puppy despite my always telling them to ask before touching dogs, esp. unknown ones. They came away, reluctantly but I was concerned as one of the dogs was looking very grumpy at this point and ds had his face very close to it.
~Anyway, had a mini rant about it to yr1 teacher who looked a bit surprised - as if she'd never considered the risks. She's lovely and usually very on the ball so is it me being twatish?
