The doghouse

If you were walking your dog towards someone with two dogs on leads...

Would you throw your dog a ball so it lands just past the other person's dogs and let your dog run after it?

Someone did this today. My dogs wanted to run after the ball too, but we're good, however when the lady walked past I said I thought it was a bit mean to throw a ball so close to other people's dogs when they were on a lead. I said it's generally polite to keep your dog with you when passing someone who has their dogs on leads. She said she didn't see why, if her dog was under control why should she bother.

Loads of people do this around me!

See me walking past with two big dogs on a lead and launch a ball right by us. Its a good job mine are well behaved or i would be catapulted into next week Grin

I often wonder if its a test to see how strong I am.

Are you sure it wasn't an accident?

I've done this before, I've also accidently hit someone with the ball, both times completely unintended, caused by my dreadful, cack handed aim Blush
