motion deferred

last night, i pled not guilty to having dogs that "run at large." (it makes them sound like criminals, doesn't it?) a trial date will be set; it will be a trial to be decided by the judge, and not a jury trial. the complainant, who does not live here year round, will be summoned. if she cannot make it, the case is dropped. if she can make it, then at least i have a chance to make a personal contact and implore her to communicate with us in the future if she's ever unhappy again.

court costs incurred for this whole process? a measly $15. i figured it was worth the gamble.

i am learning how to work the system. sign me up for law school!
