A reader asked: Another dog owner lets his dog overwhelm mine at the park, then laughs it off as \u201cjust playing.\u201d My dog really does not like the intense physical play and yelps for help. But we keep running into each other. How do I set a boundary without making it totally uncomfortable every time I see this person? There is no other close dog park.<\/p>\n

Inquirer reporters Abigail Covington and Jason Nark teamed up to settle this ruff situation. Covington wasted no time getting straight to the point: \u201cThe number one rule of dog ownership is don\u2019t let your dog be a jerk,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As for what to do, they weighed the nonconfrontational route (for instance, go to the park at a different time) vs. dealing with it directly (\u201cThis person likely knows their dog is misbehaving, but if they\u2019re not dealing with it, you should say something for your dog\u2019s sake,\u201d Nark said).<\/p>\n

Cheers to Julie Schultz, who correctly guessed Friday\u2019s answer: Mike Gansey. The Sixers\u2019 president of basketball operations worked his way up from an internship to the general manager role with the Cleveland Cavaliers before moving to Philly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Sixers wanted to prove they weren\u2019t \u201cfront-runners.\u201d They passed the first test in their home opener, bouncing back from a 29-point first-half deficit to a thrilling comeback win, 114-106<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was everything that I\u2019ve dreamed of \u2014 and more,\u201d LeBron James said of his home debut<\/a>. \u201cGot the boos. That was amazing. We deserved it. And then we got the cheers and almost blew the roof off this thing tonight, in a good way. That was a hell of a night.\u201d<\/p>\n
