Just got back from taking the dog for a walk and looks like I made it just in time. It was just a drizzle when we were out now it's chucking it down! Carla doesn't mind the rain to much, but I think she prefers wearing her coat if we need to go out in it.
It was a better walk than we had the other day. Carla runs free across the fields and nature reserve as she has to much energy for me to try and walk her on the lead. We got to the top of the nature reserve the other day and Carla wanted to go and say hello to a Whippet that was coming from the other way. The owner freaked. Held the dog behind her back and was doing her best to stay as far away from Carla as possible, screeching "No! Get back!" over and over again. Carla's a friendly dog, but no-one sees that. They just see the Staff in her and get scared. And that's all because of bad owners mistreating their dogs and giving the breed a bad name.
Today was better though. She did stay on the lead as we were walking with my fiance's mums dog and she's an oldie who doesn't really tolerate much silliness from Carla. We decided to go down by the canals, though I think we should have took a different route...there were so many people fishing! Every 10 feet or so. And not fishing like I know it, with a rod and reel. They had a rod, but it slotted into longer poles and they just held it over the canals. They must have reached 15 feet. I don't mind people fishing, but we did have to stop every time we came near one so they could move these poles out the way!
I think the weather was helping them. There always seem to be more people fishing when it's raining than at any other time. Now if I fished, I'd like to do it when it's nice weather! I hate sitting about in the rain, but then again I don't have the patience to sit there for hours and possibly not catch anything.
I know this entry's been a little dull, but not a lot has happened. It was a little insight into my lazy Sunday anyway :-)
