Satisfied Sniff

Well today was going to be a shot of the hills, the bay and the odd weather but Drake stole the day. We were out on the first walk Drake has had for about two weeks after being confined to garden exercise.

Lame on one back foot at the end of February which cleared up, then holiday in Scotland and lame on front foot....that cleared up and now back to the back foot again, I'm guessing the front foot lameness has put us back here.

I thought a bit of a test walk on the lanes and verges (without the really helpful presence of Cedar pup) would do him good as he is getting even more neurotic and grumpy with not seeing the world. The results of this will be clearer later, as will the results of me having to carry a 36kg dog over three cattle grids!

We got to the end of the first stretch and his look of bliss at sniffing some different scents on the breeze was lovely to see.

Fingers and paws crossed for a bit of progress. We're all quite bored with the sore foot.
