4 paws better than 2 feet!

I’ve just taken my current guest, a lovely Golden retriever, for a walk in the New Forest. As most areas, we’ve had a lot of rain and the mud was thick and slippery. It never ceases to amaze me how agile dogs are – he jumped gracefully over puddles, muddy dips and boggy bits. Meanwhile I slipped, skidded and generally kept losing my balance! Every now and then he looked at me as if to say “Why are you making our walk such a hard work!”
