Do you see me
I am tired, so tired
Having a dog that is classed as ’reactive’ is draining
Constant micro managing and planning is emotionally tiring
I am the one who has to learn when the quiet times are to walk
I am the one googling on lead only places to go
I am the one who walks a new route on their own first
I am the one who moves out of your way without you realising
I am the one mostly on their own
I am the one in the trees, you probably haven’t seen me
I am the one who hovers in the middle of the field wondering which way you are going, before I can make my decision
I am the one watching where that ball is being thrown
I am the one with the stomach churning when there are dogs running around
I am the one with the full poo bag in my pocket because there are people near the bin
I am the one who drives to ALL of their walking areas
I am the one who silently cheers when its pouring with rain, as less people
I am the one mentally walking every other dog I see
I am the one who knows instantly, which dog my dog would be ok with getting a bit closer
I am the one who also knows instantly, which dog my dog would not be ok with getting closer
I am the one devouring every blog, webinar, course about how to help my dog
I am the one back and forth to the Vets, there has to be pain somewhere
I am the one crying in the car on the way home
I am the one who gets told I shouldn’t be walking my dog if he doesn’t like other dogs
I am the one who gets told it’s my fault, because my dog is on a lead
I am the one who quickens their pace to get to the exit before you let your dog’s off
I am the one who has to ask for you to recall your dog
I am the one who has spent money on good and not so good trainers
I am the one who knows all of the ‘Get out of Dodge’ places
I am the one whose dog has a large safe space bubble around them
I am the one who changes direction so I can increase my distance
I am the one who really gets to see who my dog really is
I am tired, so tired
Do you see me?
