Elizabeth, it sounds like you know who the owners are. In addition to protecting yourself & your dog on your walks, I suggest you contact Jeff Christner, the manager of animal rescue & control at the Peninsula Humane Society/SPCA and file a complaint. His number is 650-340-7022 and his email is

Nicole, I'm an excellent and considerate driver, but I like to drive fast and I do. It's extremely unlikely that my driving will ever harm anyone, but I recognize that I may deservedly get a ticket some day. I won't suggest that we repeal the speed limits, though.

Warning signs are when the ruff is up, tail is straight, and legs are stiff. Most of the time encounters with other off leash dogs go fine, and they either play a little, or sniff each other and go on their way." The importance of being attentive to a dog's body language can't be over emphasized.…

Janet, were you able to click on the camera icons in the right hand column and download the pdf files? I didn't count the pages, but the text of the complaint is on the line that says "(S) Complaint Filed". Documents referenced in the complaint are accessible from the lines labeled "Received, Part n Of The Complaint". In my browser, Adobe reader indicated in a band above the document that it retreived 2 documents. The one it initially displayed was not the complaint. On the upper left, there was…
