[LaLaLand]

I LOVE taking my dog out for walks and seeing her interact with people (especially children) and other dogs.

I've walked her everyday since she was 16 weeks old and she's now 1 and wouldn't hurt a fly because she's so well socialized, made sure I walked her in busy areas where there were many people about so she could get used to them.

What I hate though is people getting wrongfully intimidated by her because she's quite large and basically looks like a huge Staffy (she's an Old Tyme Bulldog) so people assume 'dog with chain lead... strong... owner is young... wearing an Adidas hoodie... it'll bite' and they cross the road or something when we come towards them. Luckily though this is rare and most people are willing to make a fuss of her and realize she's adorable.

As for picking up her crap I've got this plastic scoop device that you fold the little bin bags around and pinch it shut so it seals the bag, really handy and less stressful for those (myself) who are squeamish ha.
