Rat Dog

I was on the tail end of a 4 hour ride, kind of tired, legs kind of burning, when I happend upon north bank trail on the willamette river.

To preface this post, everyone has to understand one thing, people in Oregon; they love their dogs. I love dogs too. I don't even mind whe three borzois wake me up at night. I hope to someday have a pup of my own.

While 99 % of everyone on the trail had a dog, and had their dog on a leash, one lady had two little guy that apparently, did not need leashes.

I was winding down from a hard day in the saddle when one of the two rat dogs jumped infront of my wheel. Brakes locked up. Power slide. Near endo. Rat dog aprox two mm from getting spinal cord run over by yours truley.

We don't have leash laws to take away the "fun" from anyone. We have them for safety, and so I don't smush you rat dog.
