![]() ![]() Was this just an injury, or was she getting.old? We had to limit her walks and she was slow and tired. Maybe she had just strained it, we thought.īut days later, and the leg was not getting any better. ![]() She wasn't crying, or didn't seem to be in much pain. Her back right leg was hanging each and every time she attempted to heave herself off the sofa or out of her bed. Yes, she is usually tired after a long walk. "God, you wouldn't think she was 9!" my husband muttered as she ran through our legs, almost knocking us over into the sludge. She was intrigued by the flow of the water and enchanted by the many smells: wild garlic, lavender and her favourite.mud. We walked for a few miles enjoying watching her paddle, run, jump, roll in the long grass and sprint off into the woods. She is an embarrassment, a monster, a snappy little horror whenever she sees another canine! So, we headed out early to avoid contact with her own species, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Actually, I am slightly downplaying that. Located just below Beacon Fell in the Forest of Bowland, Brock Bottom follows the rocky bed of Winsnape Brook and offers a peaceful walk if you get there early enough.Ī story for another day is that Millie is not great with other dogs. Of course, she couldn't have the attention taken away from her and so decided to run off with my woolly beanie mid-proposal, leaving me to chase after her whilst leaving a very nervous fiance to be on one knee! So, we decided to head out to somewhere new - Brock Bottom. In fact, it was on Good Friday in 2008 that my husband proposed to me, at the summit of Beacon Fell, with Millie in tow. ![]() We have The Pennines, The Lake District and The Trough of Bowland all within an hour's drive - a dog owner's perfect base. We frequent the beach, as living on the Fylde Coast it has naturally become Millie's favourite spot, so usually on Good Friday, we try and avoid this habit and head up into the hills. We try to get our arses out of bed and take her on a walk to somewhere different. Good Friday has always been a day that we embrace as myself and my husband are both off work together and so unusually, we get to spend quality time with Millie and each other. ![]()
