I'm off of work, and be advised I'll be flooding BangShift with BS until Monday, when I go into solitary confinement. A week of work duty. Trying to get ahead.
A guy came into my office yesterday and was looking at a big photo I have in a frame, a bunch of us here on a work team from years ago. He said, "I know everybody but THAT guy."
So I told him, THAT guy is retired. He was an engineer, doing CAD drawings for our hardcopy procedures.
HE trains seeing eye dogs, mostly German Shepherds, service dogs for blind folks. It takes a year for each one. Then he turns it over to the user and starts again. What a neat thing, somebody has to do it.
And then the talk turned to dogs in general. How to treat and train dogs. So I digressed into my peeve about a dog tied to a tree, and how cruel that is.
The guy said something I'd never considered, though it still doesn't change my stance against a dog tied to a tree. He said, (In the sense of, if I was a dog) "I'd rather be tied to a tree than running loose. If you're running loose you will get run over."
