Day 128 of Ania's Diary

Panic this morning!!. Coming off the field after our morning walk and an extra walk around the estate and nearly home when I turned around and Ania had disappeared. Ania is always plodding behind me and never disappears, there are no roads to cross . We  retraced our steps and no sign of her. Just as I was ringing my husband to see if she was home I looked around and there she was , wagging her tail.
Goodness knows where she had been in that time. I had visions of her collapsed somewhere.
A few more grey hairs this morning!!
I have decided that Ania is depressed, she does not want to stay in, she loves it out. It is bitterly cold here today but I thought we would go on a longer walk to the woods. Ania coughed so badly that I nearly turned around and came back but we got there. She is not running any more and her breathing was laboured but she was so happy to be there and wagged her tail so much when we met another dog.
We are debating whether to go to the caravan or not. It is so far away in case we should need the vet and there is just no place like home.

Fudge is still drinking a lot but he has not been sick today which is good.
Ania before her bath and clip.
