Headed over to Surrey yesterday to Dog Communication groups. We left Margate in the rain and by the time we got to Banstead it was bright sunshine. Grey was lovely and relaxed. He's learnt loads since we first went. He's happy go lucky and all the dogs like him. We had a chance to see this in real life a few days ago. On one of our walks a rescue staffie was being walked. The staff was a bit stressed as his owners were shoving his bum down into a sit at the edge of the large field area. I don't know why people do this. It starts the whole offlead part of the walk quite stressfully. But anyway, they were about to put their dog back on the lead and I told them that Grey would be ok if there dog was ok. So the dogs got to meet offlead. The staff was a bit nervous and Grey just stood there nicely with a nice slow friendly wag and a smile. Then a play bow and off they went. The owners were amazed because they said the staff was scared of most things and didn't have any friends. Grey took him off into his gang straight away and lead him astray. I was supposed to be keeping him off the beach while he has a sore tummy (got the beginnings of a skin infection again). So Grey shows Dave the staff his favourite game of running up to the top of the goat track and then charging down the 100m slope and beach down to the sea. They did this about 3 times before Grey said his goodbyes and we went along the fields the other way. Grey rolling in the grass to dry off and me laughing because he's so bloody funny sometimes. I think I laugh every time we're on a walk at something.
