so here's the thing, having a major whinge to all daytime idlers out there bless you lol..Smile

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 Smile 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 Shock that he might run occasionally and maybe bark at the odd bird or two Confused

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 Star

Expect many of you have encountered these kinds of attitudes for one reason or another. Fight or walk away ?Angry
cheers Smile

Sorry, Renaissance meant no offence to your terrier. After living with a number of right wing cats for a few years, my judgement of the class roots of animals may be a bit skewed.

Bloke does sound a bit of an arse though. If he doesn't want dogs / your dog on walks he's leading, why doesn't he speak to you and ask you not to bring it? He does like a bit of an attention-seeking bitch.

lottie bang on ...thanks if he'd done that at the start it would never have become such a stupid issue..

I've just opened this thread expecting it to be about
either
a) middle class parents being pushy in some way or other
or
b) how middle set children are being left to wander aimlessly whilst top and bottom sets get all the attention.

And it's about walking dogs? Confused

ha ha ha! sorry...
agree with a) and b) by the way Smile

In the middle of yr 7 admissions hell and this has given me a chuckle.

Also helped to put our woes into perspective, there but for the grace of god go I. No matter how stressful all of this school stuff is right now at least I am not navigating the internal burocracy of a walking club 🙂
