Is it just me or does anyone else cringe when owners refer to their dogs as ‘fur babies’? Think I’m turning into a grumpy old woman 😠.

Did you speak to the dog owners who brought their children into the play area? I would have.

BlueBelle when an animal dies and goes to the other side (what I call back home) they are guided by the angels. The bridge is made up of the colours of the angels that take them across. E.g.archangel Michael is the blue or indigo.
I know a few mediums and psychics and some of them have actually seen people’s pets go across the rainbow bridge to safety, love and happiness and all illnesses have disappeared

I've never seen an animal cross over but I saw one a couple of weeks later that came to show me she was ok. Death is not the end 💔

Absolutely agree. At the park yesterday in the kids’ playground — children have this small fenced off area while dogs get the rest of the huge park.
And still the ‘fur baby parents’ brought them into the no-dog zone 🤢
Do we have our priorities wrong in this country?

The children have the rest of the park too. Not all people with children dislike having dogs around. There are still loads of places dogs can't go including vast tracts of beach where kids are allowed. I realise there are horrible people who don't pick up after their dogs but the most common spoiling of the children's areas are by teens who practise vandalism as a hobby.
I would have spoken to the people who took their dogs into the fenced off area. I don't think that is on. We actually have a park without a fenced off play area and I want to see it so even though I am a dog owner.

In America we noticed there were fenced off areas for dogs. The right way around I would think.

I responded to seeing a braw Scottie in an outfit that he didn't need it, he was a dog with a perfect fur coat. I got a lot of indignant replies (mainly USA). Blocked the lot! So satisfying.
PS I do love Scotties (we had two) but never felt the need to dress them up. Nor would either of them have tolerated it . . .
