Ok so I always walk with my dog, but she had puppies which YES we planned have got homes for them all. They are purebred and have papers. Yes we were responsible and she got all the necessary vet care/diet changes etc. We are keeping one which is off topic but anyway.(our first Red/White border collie!!) Well the puppies are 6 weeks old and obviously still with Mum. So there not a chance that we are taking the mother out for a walk because we do not want her to carry any diseases back, she is vaccinated but they are a little young yet. Well I enjoy walking but I don't feel very safe at all walking without my dog, she always makes me feels safe but i do need to exercise. How can i feel more comfortable ( maybe some relaxation tips etc??) anyway i know this is a whole unstructured ramble but anyway any advice is very aprecciated
