For once... Normally when we go out for the morning walk the streets are deserted apart from a few people going to work. We sometimes see a man walking his staffie and schnauzer but otherwise nothing. Maybe that's why I like the morning walks!
This morning was a different matter. I noticed straight away that the mornings are getting a bit brighter, which makes the whole thing a lot less depressing. We turned the corner to go along the dual carriage way and saw a fox. Dead, but the sight / smell was enough to get Tommy dancing on the end of his lead. When the fox didn't run off, he approached very cautiously. I let him sniff the carcase a bit and we carried on our walk.
There was a rough sleeper on the top of the Cliffs, proves how mild its getting - first one I've seen this year.
On the way back we met a lady walking her staffie and her cross breed. Both of us shortened our leads with a bright cheery 'morning' to each other. Her staffie moaned at Tommy, for once, he stayed quiet.
We then met the man with the Maltese Terrier. We called this morning to each other - Tommy had a grumble.
Then the lady with the greyhound. Now, I know the greyhound goes nuts at Tommy, but I couldn't cross the road at this stage. 'Woof woof woof' says the greyhound. Tommy just walked straight on.
As we came up to the traffic lights, I could see a man holding back with his staffie. When the crossing turned green, we walked on, the man carried on walking, his dog being well behaved. This was an unprecedented amount of dogs!
When we walked passed the green, there was the man with his staffie and schnauzer. It made the set complete. I hope it's not this busy every morning!
