I just came home from a 50 minute night walk with Linda. It was wonderful. She let me walk as far ahead as I wanted and let me sniff as long as I wanted. I'm glad I don't live in Greater Manchester though. A new law limits the length of dog leashes to 6'5". The council said that having a shorter leash on your dog will make it more likely that people will clean up after their dogs. I'm not sure I understand that. Why would a shorter lead make people pick up their dogs poo? If your dog is on a longer leash, cops will fine you. (We could not figure out the conversion. In American dollars it's either $1,455 dollars or .66 cents.)
