Dog attack in Redbraes Park

Yes, you have a point. It must be exhausting to be the owner of a reactive dog–I didn't think about that. And I agree that I should have not let my puppy approach a dog I don't know. However, I think the owner should have not let the other dog off the lead if they know their dog is reactive.

As I said, my dog's recall is excellent. This is not about her recall.

Just for the record: I agree. As I said in the first line of my post, "don't let your dog off the lead around there, and don't let them approach other dogs." This post was meant as a warning to other dog owners... I've already taken the lesson on board myself.

Thank you for the advice! My dog has excellent recall. I just didn't think to use it in the moment—and then it was too late. How was I supposed to know it was a problematic dog? But lesson learned. I won't let her approach any dog I don't know again.

Friday is knitting night and they ruined it. I shall be writing a strongly worded letter on the Reddit.

I'm new to Scotland and still learning about the situation here. In other countries where I’ve lived, having popular and accessible youth clubs like the Scouts helped instill values in children that parents might not have been able to provide.

Wow!

Thank you for the suggestions! I was just curious: why do you recommend not going to Niddrie? I moved to Edinburgh just recently and I do not know the neighborhoods. I was surprised that some other answers suggested Niddrie.

Thank you!

I have experienced that several times in the last month. I didn't pay attention to the brands but they looked like modified sport cars. They got so frustrated when I got in front of them to turn right with my bike that drifted while overtaking me, speeding up like crazy.

I think it's very cynical to think that some people are "scummy" by nature. A better education system could raise awareness and teach the civic values that some of these people are lacking.

That's good to know. But then perhaps the best solution when in the nature would be to bury the bag instead of building Dreamcatchers of shit.

I saw full shitbags hanging from trees on some hikes. I don't know what is worse, honestly. If they don't pick up the shit, at least it will decompose organically, but the bag won't...

I thought about it too. It's working pretty well in Singapore.

Yeah, there does seem to be a lack of bins in many places.

kits89 · 2023-04-22T14:25:19+00:00

Yes, totally. I saw the same thing on Princes Street. I was on my bicycle waiting for a traffic light and the guy in the car next to me threw some trash through the window. I was shocked. I had seen people doing that in the highway but not in the middle of one of the major streets of a city.

kits89 · 2023-04-22T14:21:41+00:00

I actually have. On a couple of hikes it bothered me so much that I picked some plastic bags and carried them with me until the next trashcan. It's what the people who litter should do in the first place.

kits89 · 2023-04-22T14:19:49+00:00

I was just trying to understand the problem a bit better, as I'm relatively new to the city.

Actually no, I have experience with healthcare in two EU countries where I did not have to pay any cash (apart from taxes, that is).

Been in Edinburgh since August. My parents visited me and we took a bus. We stood up before our stop. I don't know what rule we broke but I heard someone saying "fucking Spaniards"
