I may have been rolling in wet grass
That right there is roughly the sound my brain makes when it explodes.
On Saturday we all went to somewhere called Ashridge for the afternoon.
Oh.
My.
Word.
For quite some time I’ve been hearing Them mutter about “walking him off-lead”. This sounded good, but was almost always followed up with “but not here” or “but not today” or “too many children/dogs/people/rivers/barbed wire/poo to eat”. Which I think is a touch harsh, but what can you do?
My lead
I am coming to understand that The Lead is a very important item, and carries with it a host of complex social and behavioural obligations. My early experiences were decidedly mixed, but They have persevered, and I think I’m getting it now. One can say a lot with a lead.
