As some of you may know Maggie has been on restricted exercise for the last 8 weeks following her elbow op... so most we are having is increasing length walks 3 times a day
(currently up to 20 mins). She's not the best lead walker in the world so its been a little trying at times, but we've found a compromise that suits us for now and we'll work on the lead walking once she's got the all clear. Anyway.... just a couple of funny things that have come about because of this regime!
a) I am now officially that mad woman down the road with cats and a dog! When I take Maggie for her last walk of the day we have a passenger! My big ginger tom, Tonic comes with us
He runs along about 10ft behind us along the walls etc... and sometimes runs ahead and jumps out on her
They get on so well and everynow and then he'll catch us up and they have a little smooch and then carry on
I get very odd looks from the neighbours!
Anyone else's cat come walkies???
b) 20 mins gets us to the bottom of the road and back... tonight there was a dog having its evening constitutional so rather than disturb it I decided to cross over and turn around early, and just walk past the house so she got the full 20mins. We got opposite the house and Maggie stopped walking, I carried on and she looked at me like I was mad! Sat down and refused to move
She clearly has a defined route in her head and will not be deviated from it
(or maybe she just knew dinner was up!)
