Thank you all for the kind words. I just have a hard time getting out of the house lately. Thank you thank you.
EmilyAnn - LOL Thumper?? Lulu does look a bit like that...
Hokule'A - I know! I thought I was good at the stink-eye, but apparently not so much. Gotta work in front of the mirror again.
Xaleia - I am not taking it the wrong way. I totally understand what you mean.. Please also know that, there ARE nice people around.. Many times kids will flock when I take my dogs out, even follow us around til I reach my house again.. the neighborhood guards will say nice things.. A family in a car will stop and coo.. One whole household came out of the house to pet my dogs.. I usually give a small smile at anyone and everyone that catches my eyes.. But of course no one who has bad things to say will catch my eyes and smile back, right? I have an 8 year old sister, and 4 young cousins I helped babysit, so I know how kids behave. I do believe that negative invites the negative.. But when I have done nothing, why do they say hurtful things? Basically I have experienced good and bad things in this neighborhood.. ( I just moved here a couple of months ago) But lately it seems that all anyone has to say about my dogs are hurtful things. For every nice thing that happens, there's 2 rude comments. because of all the bad comments, nowadays I just look ahead, walk briskly and try not to attract attention (good or bad) but it's not working very well. The kid that was so rude today.. I was just passing by his house, I didn't even notice him until he threw that comment. I was so taken aback, I could not think of anything to say, I just stared at him. The walks used to be so fun.. Now, not so much.
No I haven't read The Secret.. It's been in my To Be Read pile forever. I think I will take a crack at it.

I so want you to enjoy your walks with your precious babies. It is obvious you adore them and take exceptional care of them. Don't let others or our own mind sets destroy that for any of you.

This almost brought tears to my eyes. I know I cannot sacrifice their daily walks. I just feel so bad lately. Thank you.
