Untold Danger of Retractable Leashes
Today has been characterized by the fates repeatedly ambushing me in peculiar ways. This morning, Flickr was (briefly) blocked by the firewall at work because of (dum dum DUM) nudity issues. I freely admit to having pictures of naked dogs on my page, and perhaps a few gratuitously lascivious pasta shots, but no split cupcake shots or squash domination scenes. I definitely draw the line there. I do have some class.
Anyway, so that got sorted out, and then the fates decreed that walking the dog while talking on the phone is too complex a task for me, and decided to humiliate me publicly. Let me just say that if you have long hair and use a retractable leash, do not hold the leash and your mobile phone in the same hand while, and at the same time, bending forward to pick up after your dog in the manner of responsible dog people everywhere, because your hair will get caught in the leash when it retracts and you’ll stand there like a complete dork with eight inches of hair snared inside the leash handle and other dog walkers will laugh at you.
