Here's a sight you'll rarely see - Ed walking with Gracie and me. We'd just been shopping and I insisted on stopping to give Gracie a run. He didn't want me to take a photo, I had to sneek this one.
This is Twyford wood, interesting because it contains the remains of war time North Witham airfield. The decayed runway and service roads are still there and I think the control tower is still fairly intact but we didn't see it. I worry walking Grace here because it is so close to the A1. She is well behaved now but could still become loopy and run blindly on too the road.
Grace found it very exciting and was rather exhuberant, perhaps because of her enforced rest yesterday. This resulted in her injuring her other paw, limping back to the car bloody and stinking of fox. She's now feeling miserable after a shower. I hope the antibiotics prevent this new wound becoming infected.
Oh Gracie, you are a wild woman! You and Charlie would have such fun together. Most mornings this week I've had to chase him, in my PJ's, as he takes off after the squirrels and chipmunks in our back yard with no regard for how far away he's gone. Voice commands are disregarded completely. Fortunately, being a 17lb dachshund, once I catch him, nose either down a hole or up a tree, I can scoop him up and carry him back home before he gets run over.
