As most of you know I spend a lot of time in Cemeteries. Little do most people know, back in the 20's and 30's, cemeteries were set up not only for the dead, but for the living. They were made to be "parks" of sorts with families venturing out with their picnics to spend the afternoon.
I don't mind the living still doing this, as I find the cemetery to be a peaceful place away from the rat race filled with information. History of those that once lived that tells a story. I saw something today that just totally pissed me off. We have a dog park in town. A place for people to take their dogs to run, play and relieve themselves. A place just for dogs. Today I saw several people take their dogs to the local cemetery to run play and watched one even relieve itself on the headstone of someone that could not protest about it, however one woman (who had just left this grave mind you) saw it and blew a fuse. The obscenities that flew from this woman even made me, with the mouth of a sailor, draw back in sup rise. Do I blame her for her vicious tirade? HELL NO. I'm not blaming the dog, he didn't know any better and I'm sure doesn't give a rats ass about respect for the dead, however it's two legged brain dead owner didn't give a rats ass either. The problem is this was not an isolated incident. I saw two other "responsible" dog owners doing the same thing.
Sad. We wonder what ever happened to common courtesy, respect and politeness. I guess that doesn't exist anymore with all the "what's in it for me?" people walking around. I guess next time I will just punch them in the face.
This pisses me! The dog was just doing what came naturally to it. The "owner"... Well ignorance is NOT natural!
