Our Princess is a Certified Therapy Dog. She is trained to be friendly with people. The thought of muzzling her is repulsive. Don't throw all dogs in the same pickle barrel because of a few bad actors that don't make the time investment to properly train their dogs.

However, I do think owners have a moral duty to train their dogs to be obedient and controlled, so they aren’t tugging the owners’ arms out of their sockets. Dogs appreciate learning how to be part of the team. (There’s a great book about this called “Adam’s Task: Calling Animals By Name.”) Dog owners are used to asking owners of dogs they don’t know if the dog is friendly before letting their dogs meet. Even little dogs don’t necessarily welcome being petted at first. Ask first! And dogs have instinctual actions that we need to keep in mind. Some dogs can’t help herding behavior. Some dogs immediately go after any animals or people running away, or running at all. To my little dog, something rat-sized should be shaken to death. To a sight-hound, my little dog seems to be a rabbit to be caught and eaten if she runs. To some pit-bulls . . . In any case, training and being used to being around people and other animals solves a lot of problems. |

(My reward for wearing a mask at home, was that hubby is alive months later, and around to watch the SuperBowl with me, I won the wager because Tom Brady was his usual self, and hubby will learn to make crème brûlée on Valentines Day for me. :) ) And yes, medical people have said it would only take one month to be in control of this virus if everyone (who could) would wear a protective mask - not a bandana etc. since several countries said something similar I tend to believe it. Will it happen in the US? Don’t think so, people prefer fairy tales instead. Thus the consequences. |

There's someone who brings their beagle to the Paradise Dog Park every day, and it runs back and forth, back and forth, SCREAMING as though it's in horrible agonizing pain. This goes on non-stop for at least 30 minutes (I finally left, and it was still going on). The dog park is RIGHT next to the Archery Range.
Imagine the distraction of this screaming to people trying to aim at targets with VERY sharp, VERY deadly arrows... Here's an example of what this beagle does - nonstop - next to the Archery Range - for at least 1/2 hour, while its owner just hangs out and apparently watches with great amusement. screaming beagle - YouTube |
