Ok so now I reckon all my restrictions for walking Molly are over, the parvo, her heat.
It was a fabulous day the other day so I cut the grass, the following day I played with the dogs outside in the garden for a littl while, then decided right its time to go out for a walk before it gets dark.
So I suited n booted the girls up with their halti's and leads, put doggy poop bags in my pocket and a tennis ball.
Off we trotted down to the river, the girls may as well have not had the halti's on, they knew they were going to the river and were pulling like mad.
There was one other person in the field when we got there with their dog. She went off to the other side of the field so I let the girls off loose and started throwing the ball in the river, of course Kerri was straight into the water after the ball, Molly of course was hesitant but enjoyed running around the mucky bank. Dashing in and out of the water.
Once I saw the field was empty I took them away from the river to retrieve on dry land.
The reason I guess is because if you have 2 dogs who have not been out for a while, one of which is still not totally used to meeting other dogs after being in quarantine for both above mentioned reasons, it is hard to control.
However, we came on leaps and bounds with recall and retrieval with Molly, making a huge fuss of her when she returned with the tennis ball.
We were out for about an hour and a half.
Today we didnt get out of the house/garden.
The plan is while my husband is gone out training in the morning that I will take the girls out again, hopefully it will go without issue so that I might bring my camera and get a few shots of them playing!
