Horses in the hood
 

Took the dog out for his walk at about 1430 hrs and noticed two horses on the next street over from me.
It was the small mounted division of our local police.
I walked down to check them out but as soon as my Springer Spaniel saw them, he started barking loudly.
I backtracked up the street and turned the corner to keep the dog from seeing them but I turned around and found that they were following us.
Police lady was very nice and we had a small conversation which was drowned out by the dogs barking.
Too bad, it would gave been nice to get a bit closer to the beautiful animals.
BTW horses were unfazed by all the racket.

The horses are trained to ignore the noise made by unmanageable dogs.
Shouldn't you get your dog trained, or at least, socialized?

I keep him lean and mean in case any of the newsgroup psychos turn up at my door.

There's nothing wrong with a dog that's lean and mean...and trained.

If you think a Dog would deter someone....you are stupidly mistaken. Dogs jaws can be broken in seconds.

You are of a low IQ though.

She was telling you to sign the ticket for barking dogs.

Good idea. Maybe you should get a few more.
