Cops ruin fun at dog beach
I got an angry comment from Laura, who was responding to a post I made earlier this month about a secret dog beach in the South Bay.
Laura writes:
I was there this afternoon and the police and animal control were there
giving out tickets to dog owners on the beach. So thank you to everyone
that just felt the need to advertise this "secret spot" to the masses. Now
please, everyone go back to the ridiculous rules dog beach in long beach
and leave us alone....
Sorry about the ticket, Laura. I agree, the beach is secluded enough that the police should just leave the place alone. It's not like anybody goes there to sunbathe.
But, like I noted in my original post, it is illegal to bring your dogs there, so you can't blame me. I've gotten a few tickets over the years and it's not fun, but here's the way I look at it: I've been taking my dog to parks and beaches for years, so if I get busted every now and again, it's just the cost of doing business.
Anyway, off-leash dog walkers be warned. The Man is on to us!



Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
