“It seems most people who go out to walk there dogs don’t think to take along their fillet knife with them.”
My grandmother, who had grown up on a farm in Ireland but lived in Queens when I knew her, would ALWAYS take a cane when I was little and we went out for a walk.
She didn’t need it to walk, she always said it was “in case we meet a friendly dog”.
I never got a chance to find out what she actually meant by that.
My uncle used to ride his bicycle from his house to ours everyday and he always carried a fetching stick.
It seems that dogs don’t like to have vine maple clubs shoved down their throats.
