The adage "when it rains it pours" came true today... and we aren't talking about precipitation. Although AccuWeather.com reports that 0.53 inches of rain fell today, it also rained dog-owner idiots.
While Dog Denizens of Genesee Park (DDGP) has campaigned against people transporting their canines in truck beds, yum-yums continue to play pickup truck roulette with the safety of their dogs. So it shouldn't have came as a surprise when one of our spotters observed your older brown pickup truck traveling eastbound past the intersection of South Genesee Street and 43rd Avenue South around 6:30 pm.
Despite the trickle of rain, the slippery road and the incompetence of Seattle drivers in semi-inclement weather, you kept your golden retriever in the bed of your pickup truck. The strains of the Carrie Underwood tune streaming out of your MP3 player may have distracted you from observing that your golden retriever was on his hind legs and looked like he was on the verge of leaping from the vehicle.
What the hell were you thinking?
The rainy season has started. Put your dog in the pickup cab, or leave her at home. How many times do we have to state what some people think is obvious? Safety first -- particularly when traveling with your best friend. If you won't let your dog ride in the truck cab, leave your dog at home.
