How can bastards hurt them.
I don't know, mate. It's beyond me to even think why.

Slowly slowly catchee monkey, or in this case, dog.I’ve just joined a rescue lottery. Read the bios of a few for adoption and now can’t function. It’s too soon but I miss him so much it’s really painful
Why are you pissing outside the Co_op.Took a rare trip to the Co-op tonight, stumbled across a poodle who noticed me whilst taking a piss.

Ours is in season, so it's going to be a long three weeks or so. Very quiet where we walk, so don't have too fight off too many randy gits. She had a lovely swim in the river yesterday as the weather has warmed up. I usually avoid the river like the plague. It's beautiful and clear but her being in the river always seems too involve me getting soaked one way or another.Good doggy day today.
Made a change tonight, eldest spent longer saying hello to a little bulldog who ran to the gate to meet (I didn't know that house had a dog!). Rare for her to be interested, but was nice to see. She was actually more miffed when I finally walked on than the youngest was, although I was left saying goodbye (on behalf of the dogs) to a five year old who said 'bye bye doggies' about 10 times in 10 seconds lol
Today was also the youngest's first groom with our new lad as posted about earlier. The bath didn't go well. I think she got more water on him than he managed to get on her as in his words as relayed by the missus 'she got bouncy and playful' and he was soaked.
He still spent 2 1/2 hours with her, and bare in mind the other named shop did them both in 2 hrs. Chalk and cheese on care and attention. We've now balanced the next groom so he does them both and it saves him two trips.
His answer to what we thought might be a favour to him on petrol was 'I won't book anyone else that day'.
Top man, and then the night was finished off after the walk, they were both hot and knackered and we were longer than usual, so it meant we timed our return with the old man coming over for a coffee and chat. Dad was chatting to neighbour as he was gardening with his daughter (he's always been wary of their size, look and my ability to control them) but he's melted the last year. His kids let their kids fuss them, and it's swung him onside I think.
Anyway, despite being knackered and hot they saw my old man and started bouncing to him, and I just heard a loveable 'aaaawwwwww that's cute' from his daughter as she saw their excitement at meeting my dad again (they saw him yesterday FFS lol).
The whole day just tickled me with them again. I wish I'd have got them younger so we'd have longer.
Does amuse me when I encounter the old owner shitting themselves in blind panic as their dog isn’t trained/badly behaved when they see another dog and owner in the distance . Two times tonight I have been given a wide berth or a I’ll crush the dog against the wall to let me pass down this narrow alley . Seriously the first owner walked into the middle of the corn field to avoid me.
I just serenely walk past with Melon Pooch off the lead nicely walking next to me and we out put our noses in the air as if to say ….losers …..to the owner and pooch.
Seriously though, can’t be much fun having to be so aware and take exaggerated avoiding action .
Dogs really polarize opinions now don't they. I read this yesterday and it's hard too believe that anyone would want these fuckin things anywhere near them.God it never ends. Can people remember I prefer dogs to humans.
Couple of days back I hear 'fluffy' and a 5 inch kid wraps his arms around both of them from behind before I can even react. His parent passes a lung as he catches up. My two 'what the fuck, oh hello, new friend'.
Parent rightly, calmly, bollocked (wrong word) the kid with an explanation, and then showed them how to meet new dogs properly.
Then, two lads digging up a drive the next day. I just suddenly hear 'oh my God they are gorgeous' 'God they are young and bouncy'. I offer a fuss if interested, and youngest howls, so tools are downed instantly and 10 minutes later I know one of them really wants a first dog, and the other had two Akita's who had food guarding issues.
The one who wants a dog was entertaining Dog's Trust by the end of it when he learned their ages and saw how lively they were.
I then get a lad on a mobility scooter who falls for them today, and youngest tries to jump on the handle bars. Good chat, dog's are great again, he loves it and gets fusses and kisses.
I'm knackered - and if then scripted, an absolute bellend tonight also sees them and obviously crosses the road for safety PMSL.
Can I have a day off tomorrow?
