[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure the dogs are even allowed on school property? In Fairfax, no dogs are permitted on school grounds. [/quote]

Same for Arlington.

I own two dogs but I always give people who let their dogs run loose on school property the what-for. I'm very loud and bold about it. Polite at first, but if I don't get immediate -- and I mean IMMEDIATE -- acquiescence, I'm dialing the nonemergency number for the police.[/quote]

You're a peach.[/quote]

Really? What am I supposed to do, live and let live? I do with a lot of things, but not dogs running lose on school property. Most of the time people who are that irresponsible also don't clean up after their dog. Also, they tend to think that rules don't apply to them. So, I make certain they learn that the rules do, in fact, apply to them.

I've only had to do this twice, thankfully. Most people have wised up. In both cases, the police arrived. Instructed the offender the animal control warden was on its way. One person backtalked and got threatened with arrest.[/quote]

What are you supposed to do?  Oh, I don't know...find another personal crusade?  Realize the police have actual crime to fight?   And can I ask, what would be the worst thing about dogs running lose on school property?  Is it a sign of End Times?[/quote]

Oh, I don't know... Bite, maul, or kill a child. Really, you couldn't possibly be so dense.[/quote]

You know, most people don't walk their dogs while kids are at school.  Are YOU that dense?  I walk my dog at 5:30 in the morning.  No kids playing.  7:30 in the evening.  No kids on school grounds then either, esp. not in the winter time.[/quote]
