DAY 23 - Signs?

It was 3 weeks yesterday that I took Summer to meet Claude for the first time!

And there does seem to be some changes. I think!

"Walk? You've got to be kidding!!"

Summer loves her Harris (Claude's brother), and they trot around the parks and fields together, occasionally touching noses or diving into the undergrowth to chase a pheasant or squirrel.

On Monday (DAY 22), Judy and I drove to one of our favorite haunts, Nonsuch Park, which is located between Ewell (pronounced "Yule") and Cheam. If there is a doggie heaven, Nonsuch Park is what I'd expect it to look like - wide expanses of grass land, lots of trees, a few ponds, woods - and lots and lots and lots of dogs!!

Summer and Harris particularly like the wooded areas and grasslands behind them, but today, for the first time ever, Summer started turning her back on Harris.  She was so excited to see him initially, but as soon as he wanted to start playing "roll Summer" she decided this was not for her...  Most of the walk she just trotted happily between me and Judy, trying her luck for some food, by tapping the sides of our legs about knee-height, with her nose.

Today - DAY 23

The bluebells are out

Summer and Harris met again. A local walk where there is parking next to Connick Tree Care (south of Reigate), and you can stroll through public fields and a stunning and very well kept woods, where today, the bluebells were in full bloom.  We hadn't walked this route since the beginning of the winter, so rather than be interested in play, both Tibetan Terriers had their noses to the floor / trees / flowers / grass...  Even out in the open, they didn't partake in their usual romping! It makes me a little sad. But to think Summer could be one third of the way through pregnancy already, is actually very exciting.

Last night I watched a series of Youtube videos about some Maltese puppies being born. It was educational, as I'd never seen puppies be born before. The series also followed the puppies at 2 weeks and 4 weeks.

Possibly a time of year that most would miss...because they don't have a dog!
