2. Have you made any new (human) friends while walking your dog?
Humans and dug duos! Sandra and Ruby, Grumpy John and Polly, and George and Coco just this very cold morning.
One dogless couple became our friends in the late summer/early autumn of 2020: they had a grown up daughter in Australia who they were not going to be able to see given travel there was forbidden. She had a three year old Doodle who I think they were missing more than their child! I let them cuddle my puppy as much as they wished when our walks coincided and now they are our go-to carers when the dug needs a place to hang out for a few hours longer than we’d like her to be alone. I’ve been sent pictures of my dog on their bed! Forbidden at our house but what happens and Uncle J and Auntie V’s house stays there.
Auntie V meets us for a ramble at least once a week and will come take our pup for a walk when I’m away and the other service human is working at home. If we walk by their house and a visit has not been arranged (I don’t do ‘pop ins’) my pooch tries to pull me up the driveway....
1. Should dogs be taxed?
Only if people’s children are similarly taxed.

3. Ever had an encounter with a Great Dane?
We have yet to come across one!
