[quote][b]Jonesy (9/4/2007)[/b][hr]I'd like to add a comment on what Shawn is saying...its not fair for some dogs to roam and others not...We've got a Black Lab (Magnum)that wouldn't hurt a fly but he is always on a leash or tied to our motorhome...at home he wonders around our yard untied and never goes or bothers anyone. A couple different times the aformentioned pets have came buy and stole his chew toy or bone or come walking through our 'campsite' and Magnum gets all tangled up or knocks stuff over or yanks his rope trying to get near them..no offense to anyone because we love dogs but, as the saying goes, rules are rules

O.K. Ive read it and to me its not only the dogs that should be tied up, by the looks of some wives,girlfriends pets whatever you call yours maybe they should be put on leashes to.

Yeah I get it it's just tough cause I don't like the rule for all cases. Like at 207 Eve runs around all the time (probably not on race days though) and I think it's really cool she stays out of trouble and socializes with everybody. I get your point though it's like the bike rule. My dogs are always leashed though just so you know!

[quote][b]Pat P Diddy (8/22/2007)[/b][hr]I know exactly which dog you're talking about... but I love that dog so I can't rat her out. Even the best of dogs steal food. My own dog is probably thinking of new ways to steal food from me right now.[/quote]

i guess you guys are missing the point!!!! the dog was wondering around with no owner or leash.... thats why it was able to steal food!!!! does anyone get this??? or does the fact that ive got a gut and the topic has food throw you all off??? every dog at the track sunday was on a tight leash, but this dog. i even saw a muzzle on one dog. im not a big fan of the muzzle... but in a crowded place... its not a bad idea. so i guess i need to find out for my self... and here it is from the rule book.

16. All pets are the responsibility of their keepers or
owner. All pets must be restrained at all times on a
leash no longer than 10 feet so as not to endanger the
general public, mechanics, or riders. Any pets not
properly controlled or creating problems shall be
restricted from further MMS events. At no time
including the day before an event, are pets allowed out
on the track or track areas, with or without a leash.
Animals must be taken to outer limits or in wooded
area adjoining race track to be relieved. Proper
vaccination papers are required if you bring a dog to
any state other than the one in which you live. Penalty:
rider disqualified and their animal/s banned indefinitely
from any MMS event.

No Jeff, If he would have said a coyote took my burger, than, that the dog that sleeps in the garage would probably be the culprit.

[quote][b]Tex147 (8/22/2007)[/b][hr]Shawn, I think you could stand to loose a few pounds and should give you burgers to the dogs.
Just kidding that dog is Max and belongs to Jimmy Myrick.[/quote]

ok.. so this has happened twice.. and now im gunna vent about it. what is the policy on dogs at the track. i see alot of people bring thier dogs... and either keep them on a tight leash or tie em up at the truck. well again this sunday a kinda long hair golden retreiver looking dog was trying to get at my food. this time i was there and chased the dog off.... last time i wasnt to fast and the dog got my burger. no big deal but when you have no cash and only bring a certain amount of food... it is a big deal!!! after i chased the dog off.. it went from pit to pit smelling for food. does this dog get fed??? does it have an owner?? everytime i've seen it.... its just roaming around with no supervision. maybe the dog is very well mannered... maybe the dog doesnt need anyone around.... but thats 2 strikes towards me... i dont wanna see 3!!! there... ive vented and feel alittle better :D
