When I worked the nightshift downtown, I would occassionally see groups of kids (I think) out at 3AM, hanging on the street corner. I can't tell you how many red lights I drove through... I wasn't about to stop at that hour...and decided I'd rather pay a ticket.
Also, coming out of a store, if I see anything that doesn't look right, I turn around and go back in the store and wait till things look good...
As for dressing the dog... whether people like it or if they think it's silly... they will still look, usually more than once! I had Sapphire dressed one day for a neighborhood walk, and we passed a dog (Pittie) who has chased us in the past. He looked at her and kept cocking his head and made no attempt to follow that day! I think her outfit had him confused so she didn't look so much like a prey item...
Great idea about the trial sized sprays.... and bee spray spays about 20 feet or more, lol. (For those long-distance stalkers!) |
