I would never get a dog because…

I have some funny conversations when I am out dog walking in Sale but I think this must be one of the strangest.

We went along a lovely dog walking route yesterday near Sale Water Park, myself and a couple of other dog owners and dog walkers. We were just about to take the dogs through the woods to dry them off a bit (don’t ask!) when we came across another walker who did not have a dog with her but who greeted our dogs with great enthusiasm. She began to tell us how much she loved dogs and how much she would love to own one and even said that she thought being able to run a petsitting service or dog walking service would be the ideal job. She said she could never get a dog though because “On the News, bodies and things are always found in woods and quiet backwaters by dog walkers who have been out walking their dogs in the early morning”.

Well, it’s hard to know what to say to that…
