Day 242 of Ania's Diary

Today is a bad one, a heartbreaking one. We were delayed on our walk this morning by thunderstorms which lasted from 4.30am to just after 9am. Abby was terrified and did not know where to go to get away from it. She hid down our bed a one time.
After a lot of phoning around we decided to start our dog walk late when it had cleared a bit.
So off we set. Too my dismay we had parked the car and walked to the bottom of the road and on crossing the road Ania would walk no further. Thank goodness there were no cars coming as it is very busy near the sea front. We managed to get to the cafe and she had a rest but to get her back to the car was a nightmare and you can not carry a 42lb dog very easily.
Anyway she has rested but is so miserable as she just cannot walk and do what she wants too. Just as we were making progress down she has gone hill.
Next week my vet comes back so we will take her down and have a good talk to him. Her breathing is not that bad and her choking is better so what has gone wrong today I do not know.
Life has become very hard and we can only take one day at a time and make  no plans.
My friends have rung to see when we are going to the caravan but we will just have to see how things go.
The other 2 dogs are being so patient and they know that Ania is poorly. Fudge tries to lie beside her but she does not want it.
