Day 196 of Ania's Diary

Ania had a brilliant night and her breathing was very good. This morning she was so happy to go across the fields but on the way back she started to drag behind. Breakfast was refused and she seemed so exhausted. The very short lunchtime walk was an effort. Late afternoon we went across the fields again and on meeting people she tried to get them to throw her toy, which she has carried for years. I do not allow this to happen. Now she is lying fast asleep on the bed. We will let her rest for a couple of days but are quite worried about her. If she would only stay behind but she will insist on going.
Fudge was very cross with me this morning, he found a mouse and I could not drag him away but it got away from him. I would imagine there was a nest of mice there as each time we come he goes sniffing in the same place.
