Sorry but need to let off steam! Took Hattie for walk in lanes near where I live I know on weekends there are usually more people about but I met;springer spaniel 'only playing' who had no recall and chased Hattie relentlessly until I got quite stroppy and owner eventually made an effort to catch her, mentioned that I hoped he had good third party liability insurance that seemed to focus the mind. Next met lovely terrier with lady on mobility scooter terrier on lead lady lovely. Then had to go between house and yard where there was an old retriever and a young rotwieller and young boxer, I knew from the fact the horsebox was missing the adults were out the young boxer would not leave Hattie alone I eventually shouted for someone to retrieve the dog and a stroppy teenager made a halfhearted attempt whilst I waited for about 10 mins for her to eventually get into gear and do something about it. The rest of our walk was ok probably because it was raining! Is it me or do we just live in a society of people who have no respect for others and think they can just do exactly as they want. One day Hattie will be the monster from hell they had better watch out!
