There have been recent warnings for dog owners about lungworm, a dangerous parasite which is on the increase. Norfolk is one of the regions affected.
This village has the most beautiful walks-for-dogs (and for humans too!) Through woodland, along the banks of the river Wensum, around various lakes and pools etc. However, some rather naughty people have started letting their dogs loose on our farmers' fields, where crops are fully grown and awaiting harvest. This flattens the crops, and now there are warnings from the angry farmers that they will revoke the Rights of Way around their land.
There are also some who let their dogs loose on the village playing field. I can see why, it's fenced all round so the dogs can run safely. But they leave piles of poo (which the owners don't seem interested in picking up and bagging) so the children/footballers playing there risk getting covered in the filthy stuff.
