So an hour ago I got Cookie in the car and we were about to drive over to the park, as I don't like walking her on the sidewalk where I don't have a good field of vision and might not see a loose larger dog until it's too late. Well a block away from home I see this cute litte 5 pound yorkie boy (un-neutered) just walking alone in the street. So I pull over and try to coax him over, since I see he has a tag; I want to check the tag to see if there is a phone number so I can return this little guy to his home and maybe make someone's day. But he's not coming anywhere near me while I have Cookie on her leash.

So I take Cookie home, and grab a bag of bacon treats to see if I can coax him over. He was walking in the direction of a somewhat busy city street a block south of me, so as soon as I get Cook home and get the snacks I head out in that direction. So I'm driving 5 miles an hour and holding traffic up like hell, but I don't want someone hitting this little guy. I continue south to the next block, and then the next one after, and probably spend about 15 minutes looking for this little guy.

No luck, so I try the block north of my house. And there I see him walking around a street corner opposite to this house with a group of people hanging out in back with their 3 dogs. So I ask one of the guys "Is this your yorkie? I have seen him wandering around the neighborhood." He tells me "You want him?" I say "No, he's not my dog. I just wanted to make sure he's not lost." He asks me if I want the dog again, and then says "I hate that little f--ker" in a somewhat drunken voice. But the pup went into the front yard and submitted for a tummy rub from the guy's daughter, so I knew it was his dog and he wasn't just trying to pretend so that he could go and sell it.

I wasn't going to go and lecture the guy, but God I was disgusted. The thought of my Cookie Monster wandering city streets 45 minutes before sunset! We ended up going on our walk and Cook had a great time and even made a huge poop! But that makes me livid that somoene would have such disregard for his yorkie as to let it walk the neighborhood alone and offer it to some stranger who drives up.
