Yesterday afternoon when I took hamish out for our afternoon walk, as usual we went along the harbour before crossing over to the beach park. as I was walking along the path beside the car park harbour I walked past a parked grey car with a couple sitting in it. That is nothing unusual as lots of people sit in their cars and look out to the water. As I drew level with their car all of a sudden the woman got out and in a flash took a small poodle out and pointed in in our direction.
The poodle walked on to the grass verge where hamish was sniffing deciding where he would poo. The poodle was waving its rear at Hamish. Now Hamish wee lad is not interested in mating yet and does not get worked up will only sniff. I looked back to the car and the couple were both now out of the car but just standing at the rear of the car watching. I got a funny feeling that all was not right with this situation and quietly said to Hamish to come then "walk on lad" as I always do when he is dittering around smelling the same spot for ever. Hamish came to my side at once and we walked away. They walked over to their poodle and took it to the promenade and started walking along there. I stepped up my pace and crossed the car park then the road and went into the beach park away from them.
Were they hoping that Hamish would actually mate with the poodle there and then if so they picked the wrong wee laddie. The more I think about this the angrier I am getting. How dare they. Looks like I will be changing my route today. Was I imagining things, could it just have been innocent but when I get a feeling that something is not right then I usually listen to my feeling.
