This morning I left a dry and bright Fron to walk in a wet misty Bryncir with Gail and her Springers Cadi and Diesel and her Beardie Gracie. Neither Kaiah or Ross had met Gail's dogs so I was a little apprehensive. They are all rescue dogs with a few hang -ups, but they are managed brilliantly by Gail. Cadi the Springer bitch is shy but keeps to herself and is happy to walk behind the others. Diesel is a typical Spaniel and is off scenting and mooching. But Gracie is a different kettle of fish, she is initially nervous and barks and flies out at the other dogs. I knew the boys would be Ok, but wasn't so sure about Kaiah. Bitches don't take kindly to this kind of threatening behaviour. Though Kaiah was obviously intrigued at the strangers behaviour she didn't once retaliate and we had a lovely, but soggy walk!
We usually follow the walk with a bacon buttie in the garden centre cafe but we were sharply informed that it is now closed till February. Gail and I both felt that the manner of the staff member who spoke to us was out of line and we doubt we'll go back there again. We ended up drying out in front of the log burner in the pub and now will probably go there after our future walks.
