[Dailydrool] Vests to wear walking dogs

[Beverly Szaton]

It isn't just rescue dogs. Nigel is TERRIFIED of people. He has done
serious damage to my ankles with that bloody cart of his, trying to speed
away from someone who is approaching.
Llewis is better but not great. Cooper was fine except he was protective.
Conley is warybut warms quickly.
I am not sure I would wear a Vest that said STAY AWAY FROM THE DOG on it
but I would be happy to wear one that says:
BEWARE OF OWNER.

What really annoys me on walks are dogs who are loose and whose owners yell
"It's ok, he's friendly!" WHAT IF MINE AREN'T?
One reason I quit walking more than one at a time was exactly this problem.
And Flexi's give you no control whatsoever.
One time I was walking with a woman whose dog is an Obedience Trial
Champion. We ran into a guy (They're always guys) whose dog was loose and
charged in our direction. Both Susan and I bellowed GET YOUR DOG!! and he
bellowed back that the dog was friendly. Susan yelled "Mine isn't and there
is a leash law!" (which there is). And he yelled, really nasty-- "If you'd
train your f*****g dog you wouldn't have a problem!"  If he only knew.

MomPerson to Nigel (no stay away!!) Llewis (Give me a minute) and Conley
(Got food?)
