lovely long muddy walk

Saturday 7th December, one week on from her first walk after the enforced rest and it's time to meet our dog-walking geocaching friends for a lovely long muddy walk.

It starts with a rather rapid descent, which Holly races down as fast as she can, but fortunately manages to slow herself down for the corner. After that it's fairly much on the level with a good chunk being on an old railway line.

The route back uphill to the car is via a different path which is longer but on a gentler incline. The walk ended up being 4.6 miles long and there were a few very muddy patches. Holly is once more covered in mud so it's going to be bath-time when we get home.

The leg is very much as it was last Saturday, still hanging a bit funny but no more spasms so it looks like the pills and potions and injections are working. I am glad I gave her a chance as I once more have a happy dog with a zest for life, or at least for long muddy walks!
