Hiya!
This cold is lingering on and driving me nuts!! I don't know how I can still be producing so much snot two weeks later lol! I'm having to have a few cough sweets a day, which I refuse to bloody syn, but that's the worst of the cold anyway.
I took the dogs out again today and it was a bit more relaxed because I wasn't rushing to take them out before I had something to do. So they got slightly longer today. Pinta did have a few barks. One time was at a dog on the other side of the road, but it was nowhere near as bad as she can be. And another one, embarrassingly enough, was at a young Indian lad who had just got out of a car. I actually think she was barking at the big bag he had, which was jingling like a dog collar, but still a bit embarrassing! Dave occasionally barks at black people and Ellie used to HATE old women.... racist/ageist dogs
Pinta's walk was also up hill for half of it so I could take her over to the nice, quiet estate. Dave's was fun and we scrambled up a muddy steep slope to get on to the trail and did a loop of two parks along the way. He also met a few doggies. How different could they be eh?!
I'm really annoyed at myself for letting my anxiety get the better of me over dog walking - mainly walking Pinta tho, it has to be said. I was the same with Ellie tho. You start panicking and thinking about all these things that could happen and how people will react to her. But, I've had to ask myself over and over what really is the worst that can happen? The big answer would be a dog runs over and she bites it, but that seems VERY unlikely as she backs away from dogs and tries to hide, even when she's barking at them. And she has come face to face with a few and backs off while barking at them - thank you stupid woman at training class So, really the worst thing that could happen is she barks at a dog or a person and it's a bit embarrassing. Hardly the end of the world?!! It just kills me that people will look at me as a bad dog owner....
You can't get Creme Eggs in France?!! Lol!! Aldi's version are quite nice too I've been buying mini versions of everything to let me have them, but not too much - most of the time! I wont lie and say they're enough, coz they're not, but nice to have.
Just sorted my work lunch for tomorrow and most of Sunday's - I'm having the Quorn mince and veg I had tonight, just without the chopped tomatoes.
Going to try really, really hard this weekend. I have a lot of fruit, which I know isn't great, but better than biscuits And I have some low syn things to get me through too. Usually Sunday night is my downfall tho when I think "F*ck it! I just survived that weekend". We shall see.x
