Had a very interesting and pleasant discussion with Doggy Dad this afternoon.

Although he said he wasn't getting involved, he did question the behaviour. When she shouted across to him that I was taking photos of his dog, his response was it's no problem. That would have inflamed her further. He added that he decided to take dog inside to avoid any further problems. We briefly discussed my theory that it's to do with boyfriend's parents owning where they live.

He added that it would have been a different matter if it was a child, but was quite happy for me to take photos., We then talked and laughed about his dog's behaviour. He didn't want him to be a nuisance.

I feel vindicated and energised, We both agreed best course of action was to ignore them. Will still keep notes of any future problems but don't think this is over.
