People really are nice. I’m reminded of that daily, and today was delightful affirmation as our aging shelter retriever mix and I went for a serene, soaking (it rained) walk in the woods.
Along the 3 mile loop we probably passed 5 or so others with dogs, all on leash, and that is so appreciated. Common though in my area is that people always have their pets on leashes. Very rarely we will happen upon someone who does not have their dog on a line, and I always remind them gently that leashes are the law in the majority of our New Hampshire parks and nature trails.
I hope others here have easy access to parks and nature trails to enjoy the great outdoors, especially this time of year. And I hope you also share them with nice and considerate folks.
