What is a girl to do?

I am spending a lot of time in comfy trainers, and sometimes wonder what I should be training for. Do I loaf when I wear my favourite loafers?

I should not worry - I wear clothes from a range that's advertised more for very hardy going up mountain types....I'm not into mountains, but the clothes are practical, wear and wash very well and have very useful secret pockets!

You could borrow a dog - there must be lots of dogs on GN (well, they own Gransnetters) which you could take for a virtual walk

If challenged you ask the person what is wrong with them that they can't see the dog - should they go to that opticians perhaps?

It was advertised as a utility jacket!!
It was only when I got an e-mail it was called a dog walker jacket.
I don't know what I intended to do with it before. I am not the utility kind of woman.
It is for shopping in.

You could say it’s a utility jacket, instead, annsixty ! ?

Wear and be damned! ?. But but get a dog they are ace!

Thank you all for your very helpful suggestions.
I have decided to brazen it out and if challenged I will say I have had to leave Fido at home as he appears to be starting with a cold.

Or take M0nica's suggestion a bit further. Buy a tiny soft toy dog and put it in your jacket pocket so that you would have your hands free, but could still produce the dog if anyone challenged you for wearing the jacket illegally.

You should probably turn round smartly and head in the opposite direction if you see a real dog-walker coming though.

You should have just kept quiet ann, someone will dob you in!!

Yes, you have to send it back ann60. You bought it under false pretences ??

My laundry tablets tell me to keep away from children.

Shame, really, because I quite liked my grandchildren.

You could always by a soft toy - toy dog and go for a walk with it tucked under your arm.

No don’t send it back, sounds lovely what’s in a name?
No dog, molly would be very unhappy, I have the spaniel
who would ruin a turquoise jacket, ?

GG13 glad to bring a smile to the day!

PECS that has made me giggle ???

I wear a fit bit and I am not a bit fit!,

I don't believe that the majority of people wearing trainers are training for anything.

Keep the jacket - I have a "tennis bracelet" I do not play tennis!!!

How would Molly enjoy a walkie?
It reminds me of those signs you see at escalators saying “Dogs must be carried” - what if you don’t have a dog?

You could always buy a dog....!
