Green Eco-Dog Muttley
Today was the www.BaltimoreGreenWeek.org Eco-Festival at Druid Hill Park,
and I thought it would be a good opportunity to give Muttley some socialization. I put him in his car harness and when we got there, he was of course anxious to get out and explore this big new world, and I left it on him, but carried his easy walk harness as well, intending to put that on him once we got to a convenient place. Seeing his harness, some people thought he was a working or service dog, but I told them he was just making me work just walking him. He was OK, and met lots of people and other dogs, but mostly he just ignored them. Some people were very afraid of him, and some (especially kids) would just rush over to pet him. But he was fine, and I never got to put his easy walk harness on him. In fact, somehow I dropped it or left it somewhere and I lost it. I also have another harness that I had bought for Lucky, and maybe I can modify it by adding a ring on the chest strap so that it works about like the Easy Walk. But really, he does not pull all that terribly much, or maybe I am just used to it as he is used to pulling. But it was a beautiful day, and it was great to mingle with so many other people who are committed to making the world a better place for everyone by taking "Green" initiatives and working toward clean energy, a sustainable economy, and conservation, as well as simply enjoying the green spaces we have. Druid Hill Park, by the reservoir, is a beautiful setting, and Baltimore is striving to set an example for other cities to protect and expand their environmental programs, and dispel the myths that ecologically responsible policies will cost jobs and wreck the economy. The reverse is actually true, and much of our present economic downturn is directly caused by "business as usual" which benefits the big energy companies and hurts the ordinary consumer. Fortunately, a growing number of us are working to turn this around, and there is hope for the future, although all of us will have to make some sacrifices. Three cheers for $5/gallon gas! If you don't average at least 30 MPG, then YOU are the cause and you deserve what you get. Paul and Muttley |
