so here's the thing, having a major whinge to all daytime idlers out there bless you lol..
Been going on this walking club on and off since 2004, nice people, lovely countryside.. suddenly all this anger comes out of nowhere towards me because I have started for the last 18 months to take a little terrier out with me. Dog needs exercise and I can't own a dog where I'm living so...good arrangement, happy days only one day a week so fine.
Some of these peeps are angry because of perceived minor annoyances due to dog: danger that he might actually look at them while they are pigging out on posh foodie grub (has never happened) shock horror 
that he might run occasionally and maybe bark at the odd bird or two 
All this discontent because their cosy selfish spoilt routine is viewed as being in danger of being disrupted.
What do I do about their attitude please ? Can i ever change it or are they too set in their cosy selfish attitudes ? Its also crazy because the dog is under control at all times and is a really sweet boy 
Expect many of you have encountered these kinds of attitudes for one reason or another. Fight or walk away ?
cheers
