Dogs and Babies

At about 12 o?clock today I was giving my baby her luch in Dulwich Park, when from nowhere a dog ran over to us and jumped on her face. Fortunately with a panicked effort on my behalf I managed to remove him/her before any damage was done, but this was quite a frightening incident. I then heard two girls trying to call after the dog, calling him ?other dog? ? they obviously didn?t know its name. After I checked my daughter was OK I went over to the girls, who were apologetic, but they had six dogs, not on leads, which they weren?t in control of. It turned out they were dog walkers, who clearly didn?t know the dogs very well nor were they aware of the chances of dogs running away when not on leads.


As I pointed out to the girls, there were many mums and dads with their babies and young children enjoying the fine weather in the park and dogs can be unpredictable (as can young children) and the combination can be quite dangerous. Fortunately my little girl was Ok today and other than being quite disgruntled that the dog then stole her lunch she bares no scars, but I can?t help but think it could have been much worse.


So.......if you use a dog walker could you please remind them to keep the dogs on a lead at all times and make sure they are aware of their surroundings.


Thanks

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
