Neighbors, This is a reminder to please make sure your dogs are secure on your property and inside your homes. Just now I had a terrifying experience while walking my 3 dogs. A barking dog suddenly busted out of his home’s outer door and attacked my dogs. My little dog was terrified and I had to struggle to scoop him up while the escaped dog scuffled with my two big dogs. We have also been taken by surprise by many neighborhood dogs that seem to live on the front porch, and leap to the top of the porch gate when we walk down the street. I’m always afraid one of these dogs will break through or jump over the flimsy-looking gate. We’ve also encountered dogs that roam freely around their houses & chase us as well as dogs that are not walked on leashes. I try to be responsible and courteous to other dog walkers by crossing the street, etc. It’s discouraging that the daily dog walk has become such a stressful time. Jana
