I was able to get my first real road ride in last week. Felt great to get OFF the trainer and finally be outside. One of the things that truly amazes me is the number of people who do not put their dogs on a leash. I only did a short 1 hour ride yet had to dodge two loose dogs. Last year I had horrible experience with this, including a dog getting hit by a car while chasing me. One dog followed me for 2 miles. Not sure what happened to him. Two years ago, another dog was hit while chasing me. I am a dog lover, so it breaks my heart to see it happen. It's not the dogs fault, it's the crappy owners. I am sure the owners blame me for their dogs deaths as well.
Another interesting thing that happened last week, I had two loose dogs in my yard. The first dog I held on too until the Humane Society picked her up. I found out on Friday that the owners of that dog did pick her up finally (after two days). The second dog I got a phone number off the tag but couldn't really read it well. Then the dog saw a rabbit and off he went. Never saw him again.
