Busted

Doggie playgroup got raided today. Aaron took Snuffy to the park and was gone for almost an hour, so while I toiled in the garden I thought about how nice it was that he (Snuffy, although maybe Aaron also?) was having a good long romp. But no, Aaron stopped by and no one was there but a police car so he went to the bakery and came back to the park afterwards. The police car was still there and two of the regulars were standing sadly on the sidewalk holding their dogs on leashes. We don't know if anyone actually got a ticket but sometimes there are like 20 dogs there so it's possible. It seems like the inevitable result of having playgroup at such a predictable time and place, so it seems a guerrilla playgroup is in order. There is NOWHERE public in Rochester where it is legal to have dogs off leash, and enforcement is sporadic and arbitrary. Snuffy is characteristically pouting on the couch. He doesn't deal well with disappointment.
