Executive branch representatives now taking rights away from my dog
It isn't enough to know who I call, when I call them, and where I am when I call. No, now you want to keep my dog from exercising his right to be comfortable. This power grab must be stopped!
Allow me to explain.
As we often do, this morning, my dog and I went for a walk to see my wife at her office close to the White House. As it was warm day, I decided to let Jack take a quick dip in one of the fountains in Lafayette Park on our way back, so he could cool himself down a bit. This wasn't the first or second time he's jumped in the fountain. Today however, the White House equivalent of Groundskeeper Willie jumped off of his riding lawnmower to run over and yell at us. He was rather adamant that Jack was not allowed to cool off in the fountain.
Because the fountain waters remind me of a witch's cauldron - green and with random objects floating around - I almost agreed that it was would be wiser for Jack to find somewhere else to cool off. Still, I didn't appreciate it that the Executive branch has turned to picking on my dog when there are a few, more pressing issues. Heck, even in the park, there are more pressing issues. What about the people who have figured out a way to live in the park, directly in front of the White House, without paying the outrageous rent that comes standard with living in the District?
You know, no one ever does anything when Jack jumps in the fountains in front of the Capitol. Then again, it seems no one does anything at the Capitol regardless of what's going on in the world around them...
