Space Dogs

It’s getting increasingly common in the UK while out walking, holidaying and particularly at shows, to see dogs wearing yellow vests, or with yellow markers on their leads. This is the result of an initiative called the
Yellow Dog Project, which is trying to spread the word that some dogs might need more personal space than others.


I’ve been pretty lucky with my pair, in that they are both very friendly (too friendly in the case of Daisy) and so it’s never previously been an issue for us if another dog or person has bounded over to say hello. However, Cybi was neutered a few days ago, and he’s obviously feeling a bit out of sorts right now (the bucket on his head probably isn’t assisting matters, poor little chap) and is being uncharacteristically short tempered. I’m going to stick a yellow ribbon on his lead for a few days, and hope that enough people recognise it for what it is and give him a wide berth for now.
