This week we had the okay
from lovely vet to let Dusty have some off leash exercise, just a few minutes
at first. Those little muscles have a lot of catching up to do!
He’s been pottering round the
garden and doing an hour a day on leash, but it’s not the same as running free.

| Pottering |

| More pottering |
Before he goes off, he has to
warm up, so I walked him down to the rugby fields as his warm up and met
husband and oldest son Rob down there. I wanted back up in the shape of someone
who can run in case I let him off and he just took off! I didn’t think to take
my camera, but luckily Rob did and he got some great shots.

| So Happy! |
Almost seven months since he
was off the lead.
 |
| No lead! |
As soon as I unhooked him, he
let out the happiest bark I’ve ever heard. I haven’t been able to stop smiling
since!

| Great Day! |
Really happy for you Teresa after all your hard work. Great to see Dusty running free.
ReplyDeleteI was near tears, Maggie. He was so surprised to be let off and so happy :-) xx
DeleteI know just how he feels as I enjoy running free too - the lucky old dog ! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great feeling isn't it :-) xx
DeleteAw - that wars the heart, Teresa! So pleased Dusty can run free again.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary :-) xx
DeleteThose pictures of him running are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patsy - I wish I could get good photos like that. You can probably tell the ones with his head in the shadows are mine ;-) xx
DeleteThat's so heartwarming. So great to see him on the mend. Give him a big hug from me xx
ReplyDeleteAw thank you, Wendy - hug delivered :-) xx
DeleteHeartwarming to read this post and see these pictures, Teresa. I can only imagine how relieved and happy you and Dusty must be.Fabulous news. xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joanna. It's really something special to see him running free. Next step will be to take him and Poppy out together, but the vet said to wait 2 or 3 weeks for that :-) xx
DeleteAw what happy joyful pictures and - must have seemed an eternity coming - but what a great day. Fantastic and wonderful to see. So thrilled for you :-) xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue. He's loving it (so am I) :-) xx
