Leash laws

In just about every town there are laws concerning animals.Did you know that you must have apermit to have more than 4 dogs?Did you know that it is illegal to let your dog run free?Even in your own front yard?I was surprized on that one too.At my daughters home a neighbor called animal controlbecause one of the dogs went across the street.You must have a license for your dog.You can be fined and worse case scenario,your dog may be seized.In order to obtain a license,you must vaccinate your dog against rabies.Rabies is a very deadly sickness.It can kill a human in a week.The shots are painful for a human,you can avoid all this by vaccinating your pet.Another great idea is to spay or nueter your pet.I had Gracie "fixed"for 2 reasons one was that I don't want anymore dogs and 2 I want Gracie to be healthy and by not going into season,I don't have to worry about her taking off to find a dog to mate with.That is one of the many benefits of "fixxing" your pet.Males will not stry as much as unfixed males will.It may also cut down oncancer,tumors and other reproductive health problems.If you have a pet,be responsible.Keep your dog on a leash when not at home .It will keep you and your pet safe.I worry about Gracie runnig in front of a car,so she is on a leash for walks and any time we go somewhere.Be aware of your surrondings,if you run into a stray dog,stay calm,DO NOT RUN,do not look directly at the dog,try and cross he street,or turn around and go the oppasite direction.If you keep your eyes open you will prbably be able to spot the dog BEFORE he spots you.Keep a cell phone handy.Carry a squirt bottle with you.Most dogs do not like water squirted right in the face.Be prepared when you take your dog out.
