Early birds get the worms and are happier for it

So, off we popped out around 8 o’clock and only managed to catch a couple of our early morning friends heading home as we started. I decided to try out Susie-Belle’s new Equafleece Tankie as it wasn’t too cold, a chilly wind, but the Tankie did the trick beautifully at keeping her toasty warm.

As we were later, we ended up meeting a new set of straggling dog walkers and there seemed to be a common trait amongst them – they were all a tad on the grumpy side! There was the man with his on-lead German Shepherd who stood and glared at my two noisy girls as I put them on their leads and didn’t acknowledge my efforts at being a responsible owner by keeping the girls away from his growly big guy; then there was the woman with the Jack Russell who jauntily came over to play with the girls whilst she steadfastly stomped off in the opposite direction ignoring her dog, me and my beautiful babies, how unfriendly. Then there was the chap with a beautiful, big golden retriever who Susie-Belle took a fancy to, he stayed busy on his mobile phone and continued walking away across the field without turning a hair at the fact his dog and Susie-Belle were having a playful five minutes. Oh well, his loss as he didn’t get to see how happy his dog was to have met my angel Susie-Belle this morning.
