Not up to a whole lot of stuff at the moment. Jamilla has had a couple of short lead walks on the beach. Her footprints in the sand reveal that her right back foot is trailing at every step & her left one, about 1 in 4. I think this would greatly improve if she were off-lead, moving at her own pace. Improvement seems to have stalled but she remains full of life, happy & wants to play at every opportunity.
Chilli came to visit one day last week & Jams seemed delighted to have her company. Sophie & Josie have come for a couple of days & likewise, Jams appears to be enjoying their company. They have always got on well -Sophie even cuddles up to Jamilla & they sleep together!
We went out for a ride on the mbikes yesterday, as far as Achnasheen, about 30 miles each way. Also, stepped up the summer, running programme. Andy's entered the Skye half marathon in June & the Loch Ness marathon in October & has been doing longer runs lately. Margot going to do the wilderness 13m linear in August. http://www.skyehalfmarathon.org.uk/

Last night we set off towards Poolewe, took a track left, just past the tip & eventually climbed to the mast overlooking Tollie, fantastic views but a cold wind so didn't stay long; will do it again on a better day. Back via the road, about 8 miles altogether, half off-road.
Back to work today.
About Me
- Jamslife
- Gairloch, Scotland
- I'm a 10 yro collieXNewfoundland. My humans found me in a rescue kennels 9 yrs ago &a couple of years ago they moved up to Gairloch in Scotland. They love it here. I didn't like it at first, missed all my old pals & walking haunts. Now, I'm used to it, have new friends & the humans are always at home, so I get a great walk every day. Sadly, our dear Jamilla went to the kennel in the sky back in September. Osteoporosis in her spine, which she'd coped remarkably well with, became too bad & she lost the use of her hind legs. She will be a hard act to follow.
