Carruthers' Corner

I wanted to write this blog back in July and unfortunately, thought I didn't have the time. However, I have found the time at this moment.

I was driving to a cleaning job and I saw a sign up on someone's front lawn saying something about dogs.

As I was driving I realized that some people have to relax. Here is this guy worried about dogs walking up the sidewalk with their owners and peeing on his lawn. Or worse, doing the dirty deed and not bringing along their grocery bags to clean up their filthy mess.

It was on the ride back home that I realized that the sign actually said; "Attention Dogs, Please have a drink on me", and below was a dog dish, I assumed filled with cold water since it was so warm out.

I then realized that the person that needed relaxing was me. Why do we assume such things? Why do we think that people are out to complain before comfort?

I believe that it was a great gesture and I hope that I will do the same for my fellow man and canine.
