Dumb Dog Lady...

A couple weeks ago I was driving home from somewhere. When I got to the road to turn on my street, I have to go up a hill. As I go up the hill, going about 25 mph, there's a woman with 3 dogs on expandable leashes all over the road. I slow down, wait for her to move herself and her 3 dogs out of the way, and then go by. She gives me a dirty look as I drive by. sigh...

Yesterday, I'm with the girls. We are on our way home...same street. This time I'm going 20 mph, knowing dog lady might be on the street. She is. I slow down, wait for her to move her dogs and herself out of the way...I pass slowly with caution. Lady gives me another dirty look and yells slow down! UMMMMM....so I roll down my window, look back at her and say,
"Why is it EVERY TIME I drive down this road and you are on it you give me a dirty look?" She says, "Because you almost run over my dogs!" I reply, "Ma'am, I live around the corner and come this way home. The speed limit is 30, I slow down to 20. If you don't like that you should walk your dogs somewhere else!" and I proceed to drive home....

What's up with that lady....GEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....
Hey I know pedestrians have the right away...but I've slowed down, and waited for her to move her dumb dogs...if it were me and I knew that someone might be driving down the road, because I could hear the car (and OBVIOUSLY the woman is NOT deaf) I would be moving my dogs and myself promptly out of the way....but this dumb lady has her dumb dogs on expandable leashes and lets them stay all over the road until the last minute with her standing in the middle of the road! Um is it me, or does this seem pretty stupid? sigh....

I'm thinking about writing a letter to the editor at the local paper to be published....maybe dumb dog lady will realize it's not too cool to be in the middle of the road!!!!

Okay, climbing off the soapbox now....

Some people just don't get it. Her dogs are obviously the center of the universe, and everything else is supposed to revolve around them---what part of that don't you understand? LOL!!!

Sorry. I would be peeved, too. You're already going 10mph under the posted speed limit---that seems way more than fair to me. She needs a reality check. I'm not sure a letter to the editor would help---people like that never think that those things apply to them.

I've said it before: cats are superior---especially INDOOR cats. HA!!

love you, sister,
