I'm fed up with all the dog tales here. Around Easter last year my sister and her girls and I pitched next to to another large caravan with awning.
The owners arrived back parking close to their awning, opening the end doorway which the car door then opened in to. We took little notice but when walking by the outfit I heard a noise from the Awning. Four spaniels were making me aware of their presence and I told my nieces to be aware that we had dogs next door.
A little later the couple had opened the awning front and were sat eating. The dogs looked as if they were free but then we saw that they were harnessed to a chain that was looped through the caravan alloy wheels.
The dogs were moved directly from the caravan-awning to the car and taken off site for a wee, morning and evening. The girls asked the couple if they could meet the dogs, the dogs rarely had contact with children and were scared at first but soon came around to the attention of two fans stroking and petting them.
The girls asked to walk the dogs, the owners explained that the dogs did not really do walks but we could accompany them for the evening walk on Exmoor. Parking up a track some distance from the road, the dogs flew from their car racing off across the countryside yealping with excitement until the owner whistled them back.
We must have covered nearly five miles and the dogs twenty, we heard a couple of caravanners opposite saying what they would do if the dogs came near them back at the site.
We and the girls slept well as did the dogs next door.
It was a pleasure being pitched next to the dogs and it seemed to be of no hardship for their owners to keep the dogs safe within the awning and take them off site to do a wee or poop. We left on the same morning as the dog family and they were taken off site to the sites dog walk for a ten minutes walk when their outfit was all packed ready for travel.
I've seen other similar examples with dogs on sites and dog/s as part of a family are a delight to see as far as we care.
Is it really that difficult for dog owners to keep their pets out of harms way and tethered and spare a little time to take the dog off site for its toilet needs. Is it really that difficult for those that do not like dogs or are scared of them to keep out of their way. Most dogs jump up to be made a fuss off.
A little more give and take and understanding from both owners and non owners. I see no reason for not taking a dog off site for a wee and would you walk a dog around your next door neighbours garden for its morning wee? I also see no reason for all the abhorent I'll kick it type comments from non doggy people. That is just vile behaviour.
ps. I don't have a dog.
