I love the things kids say about the pooches. I overheard one little girl say to her dad. "That dog's got socks on".....for Milly's white legs.
One was discussing his favourite dog with his mum
"I like the black one, no the orange one.....NO the black one, oh I don't know, I can't choose"
Another little boy, who resembled Eric Cartman from South Park, came cycling up to me and very quietly and quite sinister said "I've seen you before....your dog poo'd.......then you picked it up....". Then he cycled off
Only last week a little boy walking home from school with his mum pointed at Ivan and asked "What's her name?" I replied , " HIS name's Ivan". Then very dramatically, as kids do, he slapped his hand to his forehead and squealed "I can't believe it! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I thought it was a girl dog.......why's he wearing a pink lead?"
I looked down and he was quite right. Poor old Ivan, cross dressing yet again! Totally my fault I'd mixed the leads up

Nearly spat my tea all over the screen and keyboard then.
on a similar but slightly different topic there are also the "experts" who feel the need to constantly dispense unsolicited advice.
we have a neighbour who is alleged to have a dog, not that i have ever seem him walking it.
he can't walk past without pointing out something that i am doing wrong, wrong lead, wrong collar, too fat, too thin etc etc.
he even had the cheek to ask whether my lab was KC registered and then asked if i was sure she was a "real" lab and not a cross. he then went on to ask how much she cost!!!!
he is still wondering btw
ps i have also been asked whether jazz is a black lab
Well I've had all sorts of strange comments as well as lots of advice I didn't ask for or appreciate
apparently not allowing my dog to have random treats from strangers means I'm evil... (he's got IBD and so yes I'm careful what he has but I don't think that makes him a candidate for rescue!)
my dog is actually a labradoodle (according to another lab owner )
he's often refered to as her (even when he had all his bits) but then Sam can be for both sexes in humans so thats understandable
he's crossed with a greyhound as he has long legs and a slender frame (and that was from a Vet...)
and the usual you should do it like this or that or the other or you should or shouldnt let him do this or that or the other that everyone gets really, dogs always seem to be other people's expert subject and they just know they are right don't they, usually when they aren't!
@Paws....The "feeders" get on my nerves no end. There's an old guy who sneaks biscuits to Ivan while we're talking, even when I ask him to stop. Then as I pull Ivan away he shoves another five or six in his face. The biscuits are massive so a few times I've had to take Ivan home without having a run as he's had the equivalent of two breakfasts.
This man's vet has told him his dog needs to lose weight because of his joints.
I avoid talking to man now.

collars .... at one stage Jed and China had matching collars with "I'm deaf" embroidered in very large letters on them ... people would read the message and say "oh, is he/she deaf"
When I did agility in the Uk one lady come up to me and said that she'd seen another lady with a "Viszla like yours" and she'd given her my contact details! She was a bit shocked when I told her Milly wasn't a Viszla! (Whispers, not even a pure lab as far as I am aware)
