From the father of a friend of mine, in Montreal.

Jim Eastman said...: They probably just came into a whole bunch of puppies and were looking to offload some. :-D; 1/30/2006 11:12 PM
Joanne D. Kiggins said...: Fair play for "missing parents," I'd say. ;); 1/30/2006 11:32 PM
Stephen said...: That's wonderful! I heard of that sign but have never seen it! Thanks for the laugh...; 1/31/2006 4:39 AM
Jill said...: Can you imagine the parents' faces when they re-attend to the kids?; 1/31/2006 7:32 AM
Dawno said...: First I smile and laugh softly. Then I think a bit more and shudder. I'm imagining my son back when he was 8 or 9, on espresso with a puppy - and undoubtedly one of those really jumpy, yappy ones that eat your slippers and bark a lot. Truly frightening.

I was one of those moms who had a harness leash on her son when we'd go to an amusement park or zoo. I don't care how cruel people thought that was, I did it for *their* safety.; 2/04/2006 5:14 PM
Jill said...: Well, you know, we all can be too quick to judge, me included. And unless a person has ever had to care for a child, be responsible for a child, who can dart and run, they have no right to judge what it is you're doing keep him safe, and fulfill your responsibilities. A parent should never have to apologize for trying.; 2/05/2006 10:06 PM
