1. When you look out of your kitchen window, what do you see? It is at the front and I live in a cul-de-sac. There are other houses, with their small paved gardens.
2. When was the last time you used public transport? We were on holiday and giving our car a break on the Sunday. We travelled to a seaside town, with a beach, and shops. I enjoy using the bus. It is a calmer journey and you don’t have to worry about other drivers. The bumps were like being on a roller coaster.
3. Do you prefer cut flowers or a potted plant? I prefer flowers because I am not great at keeping plants alive. I am like my mum, who once killed a rubber plant by over-watering it.
4. Do you believe in karma? I hope it exists, because there are many out there who choose to harm others with no real consequence.

My gratitude this week is allowing my Shottle (German Shephard, Rottweiler) a long run on the field. My daughter met another big dog owner and we now running our dogs together. People automatically think of some breeds as aggressive. Titan protects my granddaughter, especially if she is playing nearby. I accept there is a genuine fear of dogs. When I was young I was scared.

It is not the breed that is dangerous, just the human in charge of them.

  2. Thanks for joining in Diana.I so agree with you about big dogs. We are surrounded by little yappers aka rats on sticks, and they all bark at Maya. She doesn’t retaliate or initiate confrontation, they just have the annoying little dog syndrome. A jack russell clamped onto her jowl when she was a puppy and would not let go. I was furious with the owner as we’d ask him to back off, but he kept on coming. Maya did nothing and when we eventually got the dog off her (no apology from the owner either) she was OK, just a little confused as to what she’d done wrong to warrant being hurt. Her socialising skills are improving all the time and it was lovely to see so many little dogs in the garden centre yesterday. Not one barked or showed any sign of aggression, which showed her that not all little dogs are horrible! I believe there is no such thing as a bad dog, just bad owners and we have seen many with small dogs, collies, labs, and the now banned XL bullies. We are grateful Maya is how she is, not an aggressive bone in her body, but saying that, I would not want to be on the receiving end of her teeth if she meant business in protecting us. Good for Titan in protecting your grand daughter and lovely that you’ve found another dog he can play with. We are hoping to find one for Maya too.

  3. I can relate to your preference for cut flowers over potted plants. Flowers bring a burst of color and freshness, and the struggle with keeping plants alive is a common challenge.
