I don’t understand people who walk their dogs while driving a car.
I first encountered this peculiar behavior at Kalgoorlie when I used to take morning strolls at the back of the golf course.
I was enjoying my solitude one day when suddenly these yapping poodles came charging towards me with their owner trailing behind in a car.
This strange habit seems even more common in Mount Gambier.
We have a large vacant block of several acres opposite our house near the Uniting Church tennis courts. It’s a great place to let Sooty run free off the leash.
Except nearly every time I take her there someone else is roaming their large dog while they cruise in a four-wheel drive. How bizarre.
The drivers aren’t frail elderly people who can’t walk.
Part of the pleasure of owning a dog is to take it for walks and get some exercise yourself.
