My friends and I discussed this article at length at dinner tonight in the neighborhood.

The article was HILARIOUS and amazing and awful at the same time.

Poor Chubbs! (What a name)! He's only being himself yet they put up signs about excessive barking. Bringing in a behaviorist to asses his barking? My God. What is this world coming to! And the poor poodle "who shall not be named!"

The worst part was the people calling the cops because people were parked LEGALLY on the street where they preferred their landscapers to park. HONESTLY!

I am a rule follower more than most I know but this Village dog park business is simply over the top!

If their houses weren't squeezed together so tightly they wouldn't be getting on each others' darn last nerves. They need bigger yards and then they wouldn't need a dog park.

When Blessed Sacrament first opened on Chevy Chase Circle they were constantly sued because 1. they were Catholic and 2. because they rang the bells daily. So this kind of nonsense has gone on for 100 years in Chevy Chase.

I'll take bells over barks any day.

I'd take dogs over pedophiles any day

I LOVE bells. They can swap with the church on my corner of Bethesda, which never rings any bells.

+ 2 (I think?)

I don't know what weirdo can possibly compare bells to dog barking. The two are not remotely in the same league. Dog barking is more like intermittent jack hammering.

Every single line of this piece was, like, a chef's kiss. It captures the whole Bethesda/CC vibe so perfectly.

YES. OMG that was the best part. That and the humping Cavalier King Charles.

Doug Gansler responded to this on Twitter and FB with a picture of the humping dog, which is really effing cute.

best article i've read in a long time!

The real scandal is claiming Chubbs is only 5 months old.

I love the Poodle whose behavior was so shocking that the dog can't be identified by name.

Please let the poodle owner be on DCUM!
