our dark night time stroll

Its about time I started to live my life again and stop taking her out before it gets dark. I only have to do this for the fireworks, else she will not go. She is fine at night now so I can return to taking her out at 5 or 6pm, problem is it gets dark quickly.



in her dayglow coat so I can see her




*note to self, make sure the flash is off, else you get spooky eyes


She loved this walk, even met two lovely dogs, a Newfounderland and a St Bernard which she played with for a short while. The following day she met a leonburger and had a little teaching session with the youngster. He was on the lead and wanted to play, but she just decided to give him some words of wisdom, they ended up talking to each other.

She does love her daddy

She certainly loves to cuddle up under the blankets and duvets with him, just glad that after being just with me and her she finds him a comfort and seeks out his attention. After 4 years of us (me and my partner) being a couple, she has certainly made sure he is welcome into our pack




good job I dont get jealous!!!

Oops

Well it was not long before she managed to injure herself, she managed in a high wind to smack herself in the eye and caused it to bleed.

Thankfully it is healing up nicely and she seems no worse for wear but she is a nightmare sometimes.

not a very good photo but you can see how close she was to her actual eye. This was the second day after she hit it, and she had picked the scab off - yuck you manky dog!!!!



Several days later and it is now all healed, just leaving a white patch there where the hair is to grow back - I hope, cant stop thinking its sleep there I need to remove so I hope it either changes colour to black or the hair returns

what we did today

Well boring day really, work mainly but she had to be dropped off to my work place before I left and she was in a silly mood, love that girly.

The other day I realised again just how old she is getting, 10 is really starting to affect her more and more. She pulled her hamstring again before christmas and although it is a common occurance, I have been a lot more considerate and careful so that she can mend quickly.

Took her out on the beach as normal this morning and took the new squishy ball for her to play with, and within 10 mins there was stuffing all over the sand, she is a nightmare, but a funny one at that. Had to throw it away, so glad it was only a £1 in the cheap shop cos I would not have been happy of it had cost more and she managed to trash it that quick. And she was deliberately trying to make a hole in it.

She is currently hiding under our legs as she thought the noise from the darts was fireworks - see what I have to work with here, bless she is silly. I am still thinking of what tunes I can use for March - our first dance demo coming up for two days - eek, time to panic, I havent even booked the time off work yet. Well time to get the dance shoes out and start practicing some moves.

Why?

Why have this blog page, well I have lived with a mad lurcher for a long time, and we have done a lot together so this is our story. Anytime we have something to say I will update this blog.
