Upcoming rant

Jake and I got back from our walk and at the bottom of the steps up to the house I took off his lead - he usually races me up the steps, so why not?  Apparently some cheeky mutt had peed nearby and Jake felt the need to check it out, I paused halfway up the steps waiting for him and as Jake came up, a car stopped, and I was told in no uncertain terms how dangerous it was for my dog to be wandering the streets without being tethered to me.

Damn stickybeak do-gooders.
