Aromatics answer on what has me upset (over something) :)

Once upon a time someone in USM started an angel diary on how we feel. Here is my contribution from Celtics own social blunders.

I feel frustratrated and unmotivated, and do not know how to think on this social problem. I met this dynamite itty bitty woman- successful salesperson. Anyway, I met her last December in dog walking. She has two schnauzers and I have a schnauz puppy. I was having problems bonding with this confident, athletic puppy after twenty years of having dependent lovable pekineeses.

Anyway the things she helped me with were amazing and my dog and I are fine now. In the process I started helping walk her dogs midday. She gives me gifts and tidbits, but nothing formal ever arranged. Looking back on it now I helped her more because I really needed something to do.

Well in April she did not like WHERE I was walking them, then May she did not like WHEN I was walking them, and now June though I keep them in the shade and give a twenty minute walk, she doesn't like HOW I am 'juggling all three dogs' by walking all three at the same time. Her dogs are so mature and well mannered that I like to keep my dog with hers so maybe their manners will rub off.

They are her dogs, but I want to have her as a friend, and share my dog with her, but evidentially I am not making her happy. She just wants me to let them stretch their legs for about five minutes and get them back in. I feel controlled, I feel I gave my dignity away, and I feel this is an intrusion of my progressiveness, and it doesn't give my dog the social time she needs.
