Times are changing


It used to be that people would let their pets run around loose but there are law in place now that prevent this. The world has changed from the way it used to be when your human kids could feel free and safe to go anywhere. It is just not that way anymore. We should be fenced and leashed. It is for our protection and yours. I have to tell you, I know I have it good here but given a chance I would go through a gate left open to explore my surroundings. It is just natural to do this. The extra smells would be intoxicating.
I could easily be one of the statistics out there, homeless or hit by a car. I don't want to put the lady through that. She still talks about how her little poodle got out and how much it scared her and brought her great pain. She eventually found her but she said the pain and anxiety of not knowing where she was at first brought her to her knees.
I know she loves me and I love her so I will try and be a good boy and not give into the temptation if someone leaves the gate open.
You shouldn't let us run free. The world has changed so much. You can't even let your kid walk unescorted to the corner store any more.
My lady watches over me with an eagle eye and has taught me to come when she calls me.
The world is a big scary place sometimes and I do not want to be alone fending for myself.
