The Day I managed to wear Sally Out - A First

Yes you read it right. I actually wore Sally out. Never thought I would see the day! We've been on big hikes all week and she's bounded everywhere, circling me in big loops. She's walked at least three times as far as I have in circles around me. We've been walking around Ravenglass, St. John in the Vale and on top of Scout Scar as well as around the beautiful fields, nature reserve and woodland around our home.

I looked at her this evening and said 'Give me your paw if you want to go for a walk.' She stared at me but offered no paw. I repeated the question for in case she just didn't get it. I then said 'give me a paw if you want a biscuit.' The paw was offered in nanoseconds. She scoffed a biscuit. I then asked if she wanted a walk to go to the door. No movement then up she got and trotted to the ... biscuit cupboard, took another biscuit and promptly padded to her basket where she lay down and looked at me as if to say ' this baby is going nowhere!' She was soon sending out the zzs and stayed put til I told her to stand and go to bed. Sally sleeps in a little cabin outside. She upped and put herself into bed. Such an amazingly clever and for once outwalked dog. That's my girl.
