I just want to write a little note to the man who approached my husband the other day at the school grounds in the west end while he was out training our dogs. Your hostile approach is what caused the crazy fiasco to happen. My one belgian malinois has some issues with socialization, now he is not aggressive in the least but he can seem it with his over excited anxiety in meeting new people and dogs. He often freaks out, barking and jumping around and acting like he is going to charge other people and animals. he would never hurt another human or animal and really just wants to say hello but because he does not know how to approach the situation my husband must take a training approach and calm him down. You witnessed this approach but you did not see what he was doing and your assumption that he "punched" his dog caused you to fly off the handle and come charging over at him screaming and yelling that you were going to punch my husband. two of his friends were with him and witnessed your hostile behavior. First of all, my husband made his dog lay down on his side and poked him (NOT punched him)... it is a technique that snaps the dogs attention off of whatever he is fixated on...when you get poked you automatically think "what was that for" also right? either way your approach of screaming and yelling, swearing and threatening is grounds for getting bit. My female is trained in personal protection, if she would have seen you approach that way she would have bit you and it would have been your fault... its funny how you called the cops on my husband but you were the one threatening. I suggest you calm down. if you would have approached my husband, who is a dog trainer, and asked him what he was doing he could have explained it to you and you would have known it was not a big deal... but you insisted on charging at him in fit of fury... you have been spotted, and I suggest you grow up a little bit. As my title says hostile approach will almost always equal a hostile return. there was a much better way to handle that. How immature.

To the woman who screamed and jumped as we walked past you down at the waterfront on Friday evening. I was having a calm, relaxing walk with my Dutch Shepherd and three of my young grandchildren. As I saw you and your group of lady friends coming toward us, I had my three grandchildren get in line behind me so your group had lots of room to pass by. Some of your friends moved to the path above us. There were two paths at that point. The moment you got beside my dog, you look down at him as if you'd just noticed he was there. You screamed at the top of your lungs and jumped backwards. My dog had looked at you and then looked away. Absolutely nothing more. I kept walking about ten feet and stopped. I turned back to you and asked what was wrong. You screamed and jumped again! I was shocked by your behaviour. I asked you again what was wrong. You acted like you were to scared to answer. One of your friends answered for you. She said you were afraid of dogs. I told you my dog was leashed, calmly walking by my side, minding his own business. Even when you screamed he ignored you. Your friends thought your behaviour was quite comical, they all knew why you were screaming, so obviously this is something you have done on more than one occasion. Your behaviour was completely unacceptable. You were mature women, not young girls. You could have moved to the path above us if you are so terrified of dogs. Your behaviour is going to get you bit by a dog one day and it won't be the dog's fault. It will be your fault. Your scream scared me and my grandchildren, not my dog. That type of irrational behaviour doesn't faze him. But one day you are going to scare the wrong dog. Not everyone is a responsible dog owner with a well behaved dog. You have been spotted. Please heed the warning.

Drivers, please pay attention to the road! Distracted driving kills!

A couple days ago, my best friend started crossing at the Huron Church Road intersection by Wendy's as soon as the light turned green, and was crossing the last lane until she was at the median, when a distracted driver suddenly turned and forced my friend (who has knee problems and has had a knee surgery and is unable to run) to jump to the median, causing her knee to be sore ever since. My friend said she thinks that the driver was on her cell phone (and even if they weren't, they weren't paying proper attention, obviously) and even though my friend thought she had made eye contact and ascertained that that driver would not turn (at least not into the lane as she was crossing it), the driver did indeed turn quickly into that last lane before the median, and actually hit her purse that she had on her, which was sitting against her back. The driver turned within a foot of her, and without my friend jumping forward, she would've been hit.

Please pay attention when driving! My best friend could've been seriously hurt or worse, if she hadn't have been paying attention. :(

If you are driving, please don't let that happen to someone. Please be a responsible driver and pay attention!

TOO MANY proud parents out this sunny weekend with their hatless/ bonnetless babies!!!! Read up on the ozone layer, UV damage, how one bad sunburn during childhood causes exponential increases in the future risks of skin cancer. Sheesh! Cover your children's heads, regardless of their skin tone!

People who use ebikes follow the the law of the road or get the hell off them.. I'm so sick of ebike drivers breaking the law. You MUST stop at red lights and stops signs! You must stay the hell of the side walks and you must go the proper way on a one way street. People in vehicles share the damn road!!! Everyone Stop being morons and drive properly!!!

Spotted in the Tecumseh dog park on Sunday evening. To the two young females that brought their aggressive dogs into the park. There are by laws against bringing animals like yours to the park. The language you used in front of the little girl was immensely inappropriate. I guess you can't blame the dogs for their behaviour when before even entering the park you felt the need to punch one of them in the head. Your lack of maturity was noted and I hope no other dogs have to put up with your mean mutts ever again.

To all those that run the stop signs on Holburn and Lynn...YOU HAVE BEEN SPOTTED! On avarage we see at least 9 drivers completely blow through this four way stop on a DAILY basis. This is a kid friendly neighbourhood and we are sick of it. One of these days someone's going to end up seriously hurting one of our neighbourhood kids.. HAVE RESPECT AND STOP

To the person at RiverVilla Court who leaves your poor dog alone in the garage all day, you have been spotted!! Every day I listen to your poor dog bark non stop. It is not fair to leave this poor animal alone barking and sad all day. Not to your dog or to your neighbors. If you don't have time to take care of your animal please give it to someone who will!! If it continues as the weather gets hotter I WILL call the Humane Society. Please direct yourself accordingly.
