Tell Us About Your Day

It's something I would have to research to give a good answer either way but I would still question the pack theory. I still see up to date programs on the TV with, such as, African Wild Dogs who tend to have a pack leader and hierachy.

As we know some, particulary, groups of men tend to form packs too. Ok that is pushing things with a species jump but I am reminded of a couple walking their dog who I came across on a narrow path recently. The dog, although running free, paid little attention to me until I got near the couple. It then came up to me barking profusely. The couple came along, the man saying that the dog was a big softie, but as they passed, even though I moved to one side they were still two abreast and almost on the point of pushing me into the ditch. The expression of their faces showing their lack of concern for anyone. I held my tongue, as it would gain nothing, but it was plain to me that the dog was in many ways behaving in a similar manner to it's owners, maybe more to apease them than any inate canine desire. The number of times I see it's likely the owners who are the real problem

This is a p[roblem I see with Staffordshire and American Bull terriers they are often owned by aggressive little men with no gumption but a huge ego and that rubs off on these loyal and loving dogs and ends up costing them their lives as they become branded as dangerous.

Of course some breeds are most guarding or territorial but often its the owners who are to blame in much the same way that antisocial people raise antisocial children.

It's pretty much like that here in built up areas although the dog has to be under control but I am not sure whether a lead is the law.

I had a funny morning this morning. Setting out to town, the weather was dismal with wind and rain. It didn't stop the police speed trap on the way though and, shortly before I entered town, I came across a massive flock of sheep which were being herded in my direction along the main road. Some drivers were turning around and I almost followed but then thought the sheep would not be a problem. They weren't but it was a bit heart stopping when they filtered their way through the waiting cars. They were jumping across in front of me, shepherded by a collie sheepdog. Maybe I only need to remember this and count the jumping sheep to fall asleep tonight

After all the days of storms and wetness both rain and tears we have a nice day.

This morning we saw the sunrise like candy stripes across the sky and the birds are back from where ever they hid and are singing their lungs out.
