Last night DP, DD and I went for our unlimited exercise and sat on the grass in a park.
A man with a very small puppy off the lead and mostly uncontrolled was walking around the lark and while DP and DD went to the shop I watched this man tAlk to two people separately who stroked this pup. I was unimpressed as I don't think you should be touching other people's anything at this point in time. He's a grown man and shouldn't be letting people stroke his dog, in my opinion.
When DD and DP we're back he was coming back the other way. I told DD not to touch the dog. I didn't tell DP because he is also a bloody full grown man but obviously he couldn't help himself as we love dogs and this was obviously an especially nice pupper. So then DD strokes the dog because how can she not when her dad has. The man stands with us for a good ten minutes and it starts chewing the blue roll with disinfectant on from Tesco so I have to take that off it. In short we all touched this bloody dog that at least two separate households had touched and I spent all night panicking we could have caught the dreaded lurgy. Ffs.
I'm annoyed at DP, myself and this man who doesn't control his bloody dog.
Is it an actual concern as I've read both that it is and it isn't.
