Whoever coined the phrase ' dog is man's/woman's best friend' must have been a resident of Norwich. Man! Since I have been here I have seen a proliferation of Dogs; it appears that almost every household has at least 1 dog ...not being racist but I mean white household for I have yet to come accross a black family with a dog. I wonder why that is? Anyway I have seen all types and breeds, those I only see on TV to ones I never knew existed, like a Newfoundland....have you ever heard of that one? So I have seen poodles, dalmations, bearded terriers, chiwawas(?) labradors, St. Bernards just to name a few. Now this has been an easy task because just outside my school of study is a public park...Earham Park that is the treat for a dog and his owner. I have seen many people being walked by dogs and not the other way around! Having a dog is no cakewalk though, as the dogwalking session has to be fit into the daily routine or you will find your house in a real state of distress. It has been quite interesting watching it all. There are many concessions made for them like aisles in supermarkets dedicated to their wellbeing and parlours for hygeine. Along with having a dog comes the responsiblity of cleaning up! For that reason alone I would not go for that animal comradry, but I will occcaionally pet one when given the opportunity!

Yep...you gotta bag its and stow it properly....
Or you will pay!
When in Rome, do as the romans do! Here I am petting my english classmate Helen's Labradodle WALTON (yes he is a cross between a Labrador and a Poodle) on my first visit to her home for 'tea'. He was just 6 weeks old back then in November. Now he is a huge beast!
