Me and Tillie go to the dog park occasionally. Some of you lucky enough to live in the country where you and your companion can roam all over won't appreciate what it's like for a dog to have a place where she can run free, within the confines of a chain link fence.
But anyway, turns out there can be a little politics, a little bullying and some blind eye for certain little darlings.
Yesterday, this big guy dragged Tillie back to me as I was sitting on a picnic table. He said: This your dog? I said yes. He said she was causing trouble over there, had bit another dog.
I said; "I don't believe it. She's not aggressive." He said, well, I saw it! And I said; Yeah, she doesn't cause trouble at all, she's just a puppy. But, she will defend herself.
So, he told me to come over to the next picnic table and see what my do was doing. And I did. What I saw was two or three dogs, two males and a female that were pestering her constantly, getting up and trying to ride her, just bothering her in general and she had to keep on the move. She handled it ok, like I say, she's definitely not aggressive but she don't put up with shit, either.
That's always how it is, nobody sees the first move, but they will turn and notice the retaliation and there it is, case closed. Well, she's in danger of being permanently banned if "it" happens again. What a crock!
And, you know, it's the only dog park within about 20 miles, as I understand because I talked to a woman who brings her dog from Highland, which is at least 20 miles, on the other side of San Bernardino.
There aren't any hounds here is suburbia, unless you include a couple Beagles, It's all designer breeds and mutts and Tillie does stand out, they notice her and are puzzled, can't quite figure out what she is?
So, I found out that my daughter's dog was banned, up in Hot tub country, I'd never heard before. She said there are structured politics in dog parks! Who knew?

I knew your dog was a troublemaker!

El Bee;
Get a TRUMP t-shirt and put it on your dog.
Then get video of the other dogs harassing your dog.
Threaten to post the video.
What kind of biased park are they running, etc.

Good idea.
She sort of free ranges all over the place. Some dogs keep close and don't wander far from their owner. Not Tillie. She hardly knows where I am but does make the rounds, spending as much time with the humans as the canines. That's when some horny German Shepard isn't on her ass constantly. She (apparently) has a very cute butt?
She has not ever worn any garments, I guess there are dog tee shirts out there, might look into it, especially in our sort of infrequent walks around the neighborhood. There is a very nice looking Candy Apple Red Tesla that parks right around the corner, just one of the various discoveries as she drags me around the block and sometimes even further. If there is a Trump Tee shirt I'd love to have it by the weekend because my granddaughter Peyton is coming to spend the night and visit with me and Tillie. I'm sure she would love to be dragged
by Tillie wearing a Trump Tee shirt. Peyton is the only relative of any kind even reasonably close to me in Long Beach where she works with some kind of handicapped or kids with problems. She is a state of California employee. She just earned her Masters in some behavior studies, I'm not really sure exactly, but grandpa is very proud of her. Next closest relative is her mom, Shelley who is 450 miles away in Marin. If it weren't for Peyton visiting once in a while, it would be pretty lonely around here.
So, now I heard the restaurants are closing again. That's too bad, maybe we can get "Take Out"? Tillie got spaghetti and pork chops last night and loved it. She doesn't chew on pork chop bones, she eats them.

Just get a medium sized t-shirt and do the bachelor hem. (Stapler)

I think Tillie making the rounds in a TRUMP 2020 tee shirt would piss off a few people! It might get us both kicked out. Especially since I was just about the only one with my mask tucked in my shirt pocket. "oh gee, I forgot!"

My daughter said I should get a Trumpy Bear to ride on her back and rope it on her. That would be worse than a MAGA hat.
