Don't bother the ducks!!!

Today the girls and I brought Watson down to Stromovka Park. It was a beautiful day here today..around 60 degrees. Most of Stromovka allows dogs off leash but there is part of it that has leash required. Since dogs are never on leash I chose to disregard the rule. Today I got stopped by the Czech Police because Watson wasn't on leash. I knew exactly what they were getting at but I played dumb since technically I couldn't understand what they were saying since they were speaking to me in Czech. They ended up speaking a little English. Enough to tell me to put the dog on leash and that he can't go in/near the pond becuase it bothers the ducks. I had to laugh because there were three police people at the pond telling everyone with dogs near the water that they needed to have a leash on their dogs. Are ducks really that important?? Oh well, now I know that when I am near the duck ponds I really need to keep Watson on leash.
