As many of you know I walk a little dog called Freddie for an older lady who can't get out much..

She was out with Fred on a little walk yesterday when a lady approached her asking if he was the same dog that walks with us.. She then turned around to Bunny and said "Oh what a sweet little dog, I'm surprised you let him go out with one of THOSE dogs" Bunny asked, "Who Biscuit? She's Freddie's best friend, she's a lovely dog what's wrong with her?" To which the lady replied "She's a staffie!" Bunny said that she looked her in the face and just went "pfft" and walked away!

Saw them today and their little brat of a dog charged up to Biscuit as it always does, ignoring them completely! Bug sat and stayed completely calm, until they finally got her back, loads of walkers staring as their dog ignored them and Bug just sat quiet and ran off in the other direction. Well happy!!

Bo's biggest fans in the village are elderly ladies, they all love him. His favourite is an 88 year old lady who's lived in the same house all her life. She fusses over him and he goes crazy when he sees her, I have to hold him down because he's so strong.

Thing is this is very much a 'dog' village and quite rural and almost everyone I meet says how great Staffies are. There are a few weirdos, like the fat old bloke who dives into the undergrowth when he sees us coming, but the overwhelming reception is very Staffie friendly.
