Leash Law?

Today was a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L day in Aberdeen :) The sun was shining and it was decently warm out! I didn't even wear a jacket walking to class. The flowers are REALLY starting to come up now, and it's really exciting. Every year the UK has a competition called Britain in Bloom which is a competition to see what city in the UK can have the best garden displays. Apparently Aberdeen won so many years in a row that they were finally asked to stop competiting to give another city a chance to win!! So I'm SUPER excited to see what the city looks like in the next week or so. :)

I've noticed something here that is very strange to me. Every dog that I pass is freely walking. I hardly see any dogs on leashes... they just wander about. So I'm wondering if there is a leash law in Scotland or not. But then again I cut through a park everyday... so maybe the people just let them off their lease in the park? I guess I'll have to ask one of my Scottish friends and get back to you on that one haha. Today I saw a gorgeous dog walking in the park and she just looked so adorable. She came right up to me, and I almost stopped to pet her, but then at the last minute I decided against it... I didn't want her owner to think I was weird! :P But I was really really tempted. Seeing all of these dogs running around makes me want to play with a dog. I'm going to have to find one to play with!

I know that my posts are becoming shorter and more infrequent, but it's just really hard to find interesting stuff to talk about everyday!! I feel like I've already told you everything that I can about Aberdeen so it's hard to come up with fresh topics everyday... That and all of my time has currently been spent playing castle age! So despite the fact that I'm always online now I don't have enough time to make posts anymore hahaha. Darn me and my addictive personality. Oh well it's alright. I'm heading to bed now before I decide to just play "for a minute" and get sucked in until 5 in the morning!
