Realtor Rant – things about my town that tick me off
Written by William on May 10th, 2009I’m sitting in my office getting ready for open houses and it’s a beautiful Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Anyway, there’s a lot of people out queuing up for breakfast at JP Cafe, City Feed & Supply, etc. Some folks take advantage of the great day to take Fido for a walk with the family. It’s a good idea genrally, but when you tie your dog up outside on a main street and he/she begins to bark incessantly – you have to do something about it! IT IS NOT OKAY to leave your dog tied up barking for like 30 minutes while you have a Trucker’s Breakfast or grab a coffee and a salmon bagel. You are violating one of the basic rules of the social contract. The Right To Quiet Enjoyment. We the citizens of JP think your dog is cute but we don’t want to hear the yapping while you knosh. Here’s an idea – take your dog for a walk somewhere in the woods. Not Centre Street! Or better yet, take the time to train your dog. Dog’s are a responsibility, not unlike a child and deserve the same care. Would you leave your child tied to a post screaming outside a restaurant? Well…

A few weeks ago I got bitten by a dog tied up in front of the CVS on Centre St. I waited for the owner to return and asked him if the dog had ever done this before. His answer was, essentially, yes. I gave him a piece of my mind. I’m a dog owner, too, and dangerous dogs should never be left tied up somewhere.
