Near the beginning of the curse of the thirteenth ghost, the sheriff says that there’s a leash law in that town. Meaning that Scooby is supposed to be leashed ... if he was a pet, that is!
Service dogs are allowed to be off leash if they can better assistant their handler that way. Scooby does have a leash on in the next scene because shaggy knows he’s in his legal right to have Scooby off-leash.
Here are those dog park pics I promised!
*DO NOT REMOVE MY CAPTIONS OR REPOST PHOTOS WITHOUT PERMISSION.*
I feel like I need to add a follow-up to my previous post (mostly because I’m paranoid, no one is being weird on that post, everyone has been lovely):
I have zero problems with off leash dogs. I myself walk my dogs off leash all the time. However, I never allow my dogs to approach strange dogs or people. I leash them in the presence of other walkers and dogwalkers.
If the guy had called his dog when I’d asked him to, our interaction could have lasted thirty seconds and we could have both moved on with our lives.
I didn’t care that his dog was off leash. I cared that he was allowing his 60 pound dog to approach my 13 pound dog, and he refused to call her off when I asked him to. I don’t want strange dogs interacting with mine, especially with that size difference. Too much room for tragedy.
Related to what I just reblogged, I have to share this because I’m still baffled (and angry):
Took Kermit out to do some rabbiting in our usual area, a few hours later than I normally do. At that time of day, I occasionally run into other dogwalkers, which is not normally a problem.
A guy and his girlfriend were biking on the levee above us, and their bully mix started trotting down to where Kermit and I were in the field. I picked Kermit up and called, “Please call your dog!” The guy responded, “She’s friendly!” And I said, “My dog is small, please call your dog!”
There was a pause, then the guy dropped his voice an octave and said, “No. I’m not going to call my dog. You’re an idiot. Put your dog down. My dog is friendly.”
The interaction went downhill from there. We went back and forth a few times, with him continuing to call me stupid and refusing to call his dog, and praising his dog whenever it got closer to me (it was interested in Kermit, not acting aggressive, but was also a 60 pound bully mix so I was not going to let that interaction happen). I finally told him to fuck himself and started walking back to my car.
My car was not close, and the guy screamed at me the entire time. Calling me names, calling me stupid, mocking me for being afraid of his scary attack dog. Commanding me to stop and come back and put my dog down. His dog followed me all the way back to my car; I yelled at it once when it got too close to me. I put Kermit in my car, put my hands on my hips, and stared at the guy until he finally stopped screaming at me, called his dog, and biked off. His girlfriend was dead silent the entire time.
I have had all manner of reactions to me asking someone to call/leash their dog, but this is the first time someone tried to turn it into a power play. I think what made me a target was a) I’m female, b) I didn’t immediately comply to his orders, and c) my dog is small.
In this particular case I don’t think pepper spray or kicking the dog would have been the correct answer. When I disengaged the guy was content to stay on top of the levee and cuss me out from there. If I’d touched his dog, he probably would have come down to engage with me personally. We were remote enough that the only other person present was his girlfriend. The speed that he escalated in response to a reasonable request, and how comfortable he felt ordering me around, really worried me.
This is the worst/most aggressive response I have ever dealt with. And I think it would have gone differently if I’d had Bindi (a large aggressive dog) or been a man. He would have respected me more. Instead he felt the need to put me in my place.

Maybe I should've been kinder to my neighbors. Yes, they were breaking the rules and rude. But clearly they had personal issues that made them quite defensive. They're a couple. Both appeared paranoid. One appeared organically so. The other seemed to constantly use it to bar proper discussion that would lead to the logical conclusion they didn't want.
Although they seem to have not been moved by my sharing of my trauma related to the topic (with tears not for effect but to my embarassment), I wish I had thought of a kinder solution then. It took me 3 weeks to realize how I could've been kinder. I did get there only after a week or so of trauma from the unproductive and hostile experience in the meeting with them. I think the flashbacks are how my brain tried to get over it. Hooo haaaa hoooo haaaa.
Anyway, this was the kinder solution I thought of: I could've given them our numbers so they could text us whenever they walk their dog unleashed. The other 4 complainants could've considered it. It doesn't help the other parents, kids, and pet owners who expect to see all dogs leashed but we've tried explaining that to them. Clearly we can't be on the same page about that.
Another thing I should've done: I should've studied about off-leashing before going into the meeting. I could've reminded them that even off-leashing experts say that rules need to be followed, there are proper times and places, and they will need to be considerate of others.

New ‘off-leash’ dog friendly beach locations
Dog owners will soon be able to take their pups to a part of the Pascagoula Beach without a leash.
The Pascagoula City Council recently voted to allow dogs to be off-leash on a multi-block stretch of its beach. Owners must have direct supervision of their dogs at all times and the city is increasing fines for failing to pick up dog waste to $500.
