EXHAUSTED PUPS!

This is a good thing!
They're both so tired after their long afternoon walk that they can barely move now (Mind you, they DID shift pretty smartish when I mentioned that it was time for tea!)
I LIKE this walking business. Admittedly it's easier when Charles is with me as it is very helpful and reassuring to have an extra pair of hands for behaviour control - but the whole getting out in the fresh air and actually feeling as if I've had a bit of a workout is great. I'm beginning to get addicted to it (just as well, because you'll be doing it for quite a while, I hear you say!) and look forward to it almost as much as the pups do!!
I have to say that they ARE walking better now on the lead. At the beginning of a walk they both go a little crazy, but they soon settle down and can walk without tugging too much. Rose, however, walks twice as far as Lily because she constantly crosses from side to side. They're much better about meeting other dogs as well. Admittedly they will have a bit of a growl when they see one heading towards them, but they usually pass by without creating a fuss - so that is a big step forward.
My cold has also taken a big step forward today and I now feel pretty awful. I'm being a bit of a wuss I know, but I would really like to be tucked up in bed with a warm drink and a good book right now!
