Going back to school

I keep hearing that with so many people losing their jobs, this is a good time to go back to school while looking for a new job.  For many people, an online degree will fit into their lifestyle the best because they will be able to take the courses they need without having to commute long distances, or perhaps even have to live on campus, the way so many mortar and brick colleges require their new students to do.  A good resource for finding out more information about taking college classes online is through the .allonlineschools.com website.  I was checking it out for myself because I was interested to see what was available to me – and found a diploma course in dog obedience training!  I’ve always been interested in dog obedience.  I wonder if I took the course if I could find a career in running obedience training courses!

There is a leash law, people!

I’ve always been a “dog person: and take my responsibility as a pet owner very seriously. When my dogs go outside, they are either in the fenced back yard or they are on a leash.

The last couple of weeks we have had other people’s dogs in our yard at all hours of the day and night. I guess some of our neighbors think it is OK to just let their dogs run free after dark. I have a big problem with that, and hope to find out who the dog owners are and maybe have a talk with them. It is for the safety of their dogs as well as my dogs that they stay in their own yards or be on a leash. I have had at least 3 times since we’ve lived here that other people’s dogs have attacked my dogs – every time my dogs were tied!

I hate to think that I’ll have to call animal control about this, but I really am quite annoyed over this situation!
