Loving my Oldies Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was walking Sari on her own and almost home when I saw one of my neighbours walking towards me with her old Golden Retriever. I waited at my driveway for them to reach me and as she came closer she said, "It doesn't look right seeing you with only one dog." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ams Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 sounds okay to me. I never "look right" either if I only have one dog. Come to think of it I don't think I even know what that means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Like me today, headed off to meet a friend on a walk with the dogs and when I got to the walking spot, her and her OH were talking to some other friends that were walking past and along we come and her friend says OMG four and my friend introduced me and said oh this is Barb the crazy dog lady I guess it is just what people get used to. if I go to my usual walking spot and don't have all of mine, people assume something has happened to the ones I don't have. Usually it is because they are with my OH. People are funny!! I just seen Ruths post Edited May 19, 2010 by tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavik Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I get the comment 'where are the dogs'? if I am out without any dogs - many people I meet at the shops apparently see me walking them every morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mish13 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I can relate to this thread, I walk my four dogs most days on my own, and I have had many people look at me like I am missing some marbles. I am sure having multiple dogs must = crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Why were you only taking one for a walk? I'd already taken Tamar, Jeune, Kisho and Danny. Sari usually comes with us, but she was stirred up and I couldn't get her lead on because she kept trying to bite me She had settled down when I returned from walking the others. And after walking Sari, I took Mufti out. He was amazing! Normally, Ijust go a few houses up the footpath and home again, but this time, he wanted to keep going and we actually went right around the block. I expected him to either keel over with a heart attack or to have to carry him home, but he bounded along like a two year old and wasn't even panting when we arrived home.

Fleuri Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Hi, I am new to this forum. I don't think I have ever laughed so much (out loud) from reading threads in a forum as I have in this one. I mean it in a good way. Edited May 19, 2010 by Fleuri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The husband and wife are breeders and showers of Standards and at last count I think they had about 12 or 13. They also help with rescue when they are able.

RubyStar Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I think it's even funnier when people you've never met before make comments on your dogs. A woman was walking down the street when I was and spoke to my girls, well that was it, they wanted a pat then! We got talking and she asked me about Labs cos they were looking for a dog cos their BC had recently passed, when she commented about how long I had had the brown one for and me training them. I looked at her weirdly and she mentioned she'd seen me training just the yellow one in the park quite often then the brown one came along! I've never seen her before yet she knew all about them Was walking them both another time when a lady was walking her dog on the other side of the road and she yells out to me "wow you've got 2 now!" Umm, who are you?? What was nice though was I heard her bend down to her dog and say "see look, why can't you walk like them!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago, I was walking the dogs and Gussy Cat was trailing along behind us. A woman who was out with her daughter on her little tricycle greeted me and said something along the lines of: oh my husband told me there was a woman who walked her dogs and her cat. She doubted him until she saw me Edited May 20, 2010 by Mother Moocher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
