Day 298 of Ania's Diary.

Very upset today. We have not been on our dog  walk for 3 weeks due to being away. I did not say a word but Ania knew and she just knew and started barking and getting all excited.

By the time we arrived at the vets she had to lie down to calm her down.
Today was the shortest walk and ideal for puppies so off we set, Ania delighted and being amongst her friends but gasping all the way.
30 minutes later we settled down for a nice cup of coffee, we are so welcome to sit on the terrace of the beach cafe and watch the beautiful sea. We had a rest and the others left us whilst I and someone else continued to our cars.
Ania could not walk and it took 20 minutes to get her to the car which should have taken us 5 minutes. My friend offered to fetch his car but we struggled on. Finally we got home to rest .
Ania has just been out for 20 minutes again, she just will not go to the toilet in the garden or on her lead and again she has come in gasping for breath.
We love our Saturday mornings but now we have to make the decision whether Ania or any of us will be able to go again. It will be more stressful for her if we leave her behind.
