[RC] loose dogs mean Howard wins the ride - Jonni Jewell

I have thought that riders who show up with a dog, should be issued a little
tag, for their dog to wear at the ride, that has a number on it, that is the
same as the rider number. Any...wait ANY loose dog, will be caught, and put
in doggie jail. The rider will be notified, and they MUST pay a fine to get
their dog out. Make it hefty...$50. All money donated to a local animal
shelter. It takes a person willing to do this, and an empty horse trailer to
act as the dog pound. These people claim they love to have the companionship
of their dog along with them at the ride, but then they turn them loose, and
don't pay any attention to them all weekend!

The other option is to just shoot the loose dogs. But someone might
complain about that.(discharge of those guns in camp and all) Never know.
The gun going off could spook some horse that the rider is bent over
underneath it, trying to put easy boots on, as they always ride barefoot,
(and are so proud of it) but they see this ride has rocks, so they don't
want to make their horse sore because it has no hoof protection. And you
know, being a LD rider, they need to be able to go really fast, as they are
chasing those year end points, and they don't want sore feet to slow them
down. Especially if Howard is at the ride. You know he ALWAYS races......

Did I miss anything?
