Walking the South Downs Way

Or, at least, I walked a part of it today. Really lovely scenery and lots of people out, mainly walking dogs. Talking of which I lost another £40 yesterday when a so called expert came to evaluate poor old Flash who just does not like strangers. For my money she gave me 3 bits of advice. Walk tall, hold on to the food until he looks you in the eye and put the lead on him when anyone comes in - ummm I have had dogs all my life who are usually fine. This dog is wonderful with our family it's just everyone else.
It annoys me that they assume that any problem must be down to you and that all that is necessary for some is to read a book by Cesar Milan and they are away on a new career. Oh dear what a rant, but just realised that there will be no holidays for me until I resolve his problem. Solutions focused.
