We have barking doggie rules. Here. Don't mean to sound superior, but I spose I should if I can.
One night I called the coppers at 3:00 AM, and said, "Do we have a barking dogdamn ordinance?"
"Yes. We do."
They were up here before I got back in bed and le dohgee was shut up so fast I couldn't believe it. Because it seemed to me the owners HAD TO BE ASLEEP, or overdosed, and would be DIFFICULT to waken, considering what they were sleeping through. But maybe the cops "darted" the dog, or emitted wave cancelling sounds. I don't know.
But the dog was shut up ASAP. I wish I hadn't waited 2.5 hours.
Another dog was crossing the street and digging up a newly planted Akebono in the parking strip. I spoke with the woman, and she said, "I have a baby to take care of." (So?)
I tried to explain that an Akebono cherry tree is grafted and more rare than a stupid woman and her baby. Certainly; more valuable.
I said, "Well; we have leash laws. Can't you leash your dog?"
And she said, "Can't you put a fence around your tree?"
(See YOU in hell, baby. It's a given.) |
