The sunshine was gone this morning, but so was that bloody wind; to be honest, I'll take that. We had a couple of heavy showers, but I had dry, pleasant walks. The sky was amazing with layers of cloud, yeah a lovely walk with my lovelies, Orin and Siska.
I put Orin and Siska in the van and looked towards Mynydd Mawr, OMG, look at the sky. I had to take the photo, after all I know how quickly the sky changes!
Another lovely walk with Meerah and Beti, though one thing concerned me. Meerah got her back right tangled in the lead, and as I tried to sort it, she grumbled. Hmm. Mixed feeling from me. I appreciate a dog telling me, "I'm not happy with that," or "it hurts," but my instinct is always to say "don't you talk to me like that!" Of course, regardless of the grumble, I had to untangle her, and we carried on with the walk, but I thought a lot about it ... if my manoeuvring her to untangle her caused hip pain, then I'll have to make sure I'm careful not to hurt her; on the other hand, I've not seen any stiffness in her since she was about 6, maybe 8 months. Of course, as ever, I can't unsee what I saw then, and until she's X-rayed later this year, I simply don't have the answers. Meerah will be having one more season and probably be scored in the Autumn, if her hips are as I envisage, then they can spay her whilst she is already "out" having her hips X-rayed. For the current time Beti will remain entire, and I feel another post coming on!
