I went to one of my old spots to skate yesterday. The little ditch I’ve been skating since I was 14.
As I started to skate, the dog behind the fence on the south side of the ditch started going apeshit. It was annoying. I figured if it annoyed me that much, and the dog was that annoyed, then the neighbors of the dog owner would probably be annoyed as well.
I feel bad for dogs that just live in the backyard. When we lived in Lockhart, Texas, that was common. Dogs are emotional creatures and I think just sticking one in the backyard is abuse. At any rate, I don’t like being the cause of an innocent dog’s distress, even if it’s a dog that would love to kill and eat me.
I took a couple of runs and then left.
It left me feeling kind of uninspired, so I just went home and made plans to go skate a really good ditch in Fort Worth on Sunday (2 days from now) with my friends Dale and Carter. Feeling very inspired for that!
