Day 26

Writing 2026

Lydia and I went to a spot that we haven’t walked in for a while.

There were people with guns further down the track. I don’t know what they were shooting, but she was curious. It may have been rabbits but that’s just a guess.

Anyway, we had a good walk, got muddy, and when we got back to the car she wouldn’t go into her crate as usual.

After failing to persuade her, and securing her precariously – if that makes any sense at all – with my bag that her leads are attached to hooked around the top of a car seat, I set off. She was looking about her and not barking at everything- only when people were a bit close – so I’m taking that as a sign that she’s becoming more confident.

After another restful day – with cough symptoms still lingering – I went out to buy a few things before having a shower and am now back in bed. Lydia is on her bed at the foot of mine.
