Corgis with Attitude

Disclaimer: dog tracks really do wreck ski tracks, so I'd never bring them here in ski season. This is late April or early May.

I know it's annoying but dogs can wreak havoc on certain areas. Ground-nesting birds make a tasty treat. Delicate ecosystems can get dug up. Shy wildlife can be disturbed. I generally respect the signs, but I do make exceptions. For instance, if I get to dangerous areas of on-leash hiking trails (water crossings, steep rocky areas) I always let them loose and then leash them up when the hazard has been crossed.

Isn't it tempting, though, when you pass a pond where the Canada Geese are gathering for their pre-migration goose parties, to just, sort of accidentally, let the dog loose? Just to see what would happen? ;)

The post say there are 15 replies, but I can only see 10 of them and I checked both phone and computer. Also, a reply I made yesterday has now disappeared. Very strange.

They were probably taken down by DHS, CIA, or NSA. Terrierists often infiltrate innocent-looking websites for secret communications. I'm surprised they let Rachel and Waffle's comment stand ["And, yeah, fight the man, man."] It sounds quite suspicious; a coded signal to insurrection, possibly.

You can't be too careful. You don't want people flouting Authority. That's probably why the photo of the German Shepard with the uprooted "NO DOGS" sign disappeared. Corgis have a notorious independent streak, and you don't want to encourage that kind of attitude. I feel safer knowing that Someone is watching.

Seriously, people sometimes edit their comments by copying, deleting, and reposting them, and they get counted each time.
