With both the loonies off the lead on the track adjoining the donkey field I was pretty relaxed. After all, I'd never seen anyone on this track before! I looked back at the view and saw a young lad and his dog coming onto the path. I shouted back, "give me a minute to get them on the lead." I got my leads ready, called them back and saw he was still route marching towards me. I screamed again ... "Can you please wait for one minute?" He took his hood off and his ear bud out so I asked
again. Having put both on the lead, I called out "thank you," and walked ahead. I looked back .. OMG He was walking so quickly ... so I called again, "Do you want to pass?" He said "Yeah I think it would be best!" Not a cross word between the dogs, but I had to call out behind him, "Your dog is just lovely, such a beautiful little face!" I've no idea what he was, some kind of terrier crossbreed, but my god he was cute with a smiling face. As he walked away I tried to sort out my leads, oh feck I dropped Beti's and she went tearing up after him. I called her, she stopped ... she looked ahead and back to me, so I walked away. Beti followed, big cuddles and a treat. What a good girl.
