Day 236 of Ania's Diary

Today has been heartbreaking. Ania eat no more than a sausage and would not touch even the food I had prepared over night in the slow cooker.
This morning I did not realise how hot it was after the cool of yesterday and Ania had great difficulty in getting home from the field.
So  this afternoon I put on Ania's cool coat and we drove to the fields. Only 5 minutes in the car and she was gasping but still wanted to go. Halfway through the second field and gasping all the way we had to stop for a drink. By the time we got to the third field she had had enough and turned around and in the space of 30 minutes we were home. We are lucky in on way as we have no sun in our front room and with the windows wide open it is nice and cool.
Later on tonight I will take the other 2 dogs out for a road walk.
I have just fed the dogs and Ania was so hungry that at long last she has eaten it all  be it very slowly and has not even choked in the process. Now I hope she will sleep for the evening.
Time is running out for us and every minute is precious. In all her 10 years Ania has never been away from us.
