Went up Schiehallion tonight with the big fella. He's a pleasure to walk these days and walks to heel no bother if you ask him which makes life so much easier.

Driving into the Jack Kane Centre this evening you can imagine my surprise when I thought I saw a pygmy hippo! Got closer and it was a pit bull just sniffing around in the long grass.

Just been out with Bailey. In a big open space so had him off the lead. Walked past about five different dogs and he wasn't arsed, as usual, then all of a sudden this woman, walking a wee dog started screaming at me “get your dog, get your dogâ€
I was looking at the Halliday news on my phone, when she started screaming so I looked up in a panic wondering what happened. Nothing happened.
He was sniffing a post minding his own business, but this wee dog snarling and the woman screaming then obviously peaked his interest, so he got a bit closer to them. She was still screaming “get him get him my dogs petrifiedâ€. Bailey then just walked away while she was still going mental. Still going on about having him on a lead, even though he was just sniffing a post not even registering that they were there until she started being loud.
I was quite polite and said “he's fine off the lead and would never have went anywhere near you if you hadn't started shouting like that and your wee dog going mental wouldn't have helped either. If your dogs easily distressed then the screams from you won't help.â€
She didn't say anything but then she let me get a bit further up the road before I heard her shouting “still not got him on a lead, I'm reporting you to the police and putting you on the Facebookâ€
Turned around and she was videoing me or taking photos
Hope it wasn't a video tbh because I snapped and told her and her stupid wee dug to get to Fuck.
If he was anywhere near uncontrollable I'd never have him off the lead. But he's never in his life went for another dog and always comes back when I shout. Even then I only have him off in big areas. Always on the lead near a road, just incase.
The fact this woman thinks my big daft dug is some sort of monster is really annoying me
