I am wondering, what is your stance on obeying rules and regulations, even when they seem inappropriate, or perhaps superfluous?
Why bring this up just now, you ask.
Well, Gail took me down to the Aberdeen City beach yesterday. Although dogs are allowed to run free on most of the two mile long stretch of sand, there is a section in the centre, in front of the cafés and amusement arcades, where we are excluded, year round.
Rather to my irritation, Gail always makes me obey these signs.
However, I couldn't help but notice that, on this chilly grey November afternoon, all of the human visitors to the 'no dogs' bit of the beach were accompanied by their pups!
And those pups were having a fine old time, and no-one seemed to object.
Look, why else would anyone visit a beach in the Northeast of Scotland at this time of year, if not to give Rover and Fido a chance for some bracing exercise? And for the humans, the nearer to the cafés the better!
What do my readers think?
