Took Henry to the woods yesterday, which he found very exciting (honestly you'd think I'd never taken him for a walk before!).
It was all going swimmingly until we happened to bump into a couple out for what I assume was meant to be a romantic stroll. She was wearing a very nice cream coloured three quarter length coat which would have been great for walking through the middle of town and he had very smart (expensive looking) jeans on and was much less good looking than she was (but probably much richer - cynical? Moi?)
She also clearly had a thing about dogs (not in a good way!)... I was just a second too late whistling Henry so he went up to say hello - just walked up for a quick sniff and would have ignored her except... she ran round to hide behind her bf (who also looked less than pleased to see a smelly wet spaniel bearing down on him and his shiny shoes) but Henry followed her so she ended up running round and round the poor bloke followed by Henry until I got there to remove the little sod (who had of course gone totally deaf as soon as this fun game started...)
Thank goodness he decided against jumping up for a hug... the shock of pawprints on her lovely coat could have been fatal!
Have to say they were very good humoured though and just grinned a bit weakly as I apologised and told them he was still very young and so harm done (really got to work on my timing though)...
I would be more sympathetic / apologetic but I am single, broke and bitter about people in couples who can wear clothes without holes in them
