Funny Dog Walk

I was going to sleep in this morning, but Pegasus was keen to get me up. It was obvious that he wanted a dog walk. Took the bugger out, but we seemed to go in a devious route. I was prepared to take him for a "long walk" over the footbridge to the other side of Barnsley, and back again via the ford, he had other ideas.

He sniffed all around the building site of the preschool that's still in construction. We almost went down the back alleyway but I got us to go up where the old railway used to be (runs parallel to Appletree Rd). Then we cut back to the other side of Appletree, and finally went down a gravel track to boomerang back to # 46.

However, he met one dog and wanted to "make friends", though it wasn't keen. Then on the gravel road we encountered a guy with half a dozen Bull Mastiffs on his truck. Several were in cages but two (puppies apparently) were running next to the truck. They came over all enthusiastic and checked Peggy out, and there was almost a fight until the guy drove off (and passed a car going the other way - unusual unless they'd just come back from dumping trash).

There were plenty of BMX riders about so we cut across the bush and went home.

For most of the trip I felt like I had no energy at all. I felt like a "deep coldness" in my chest, and had "trembly legs" (very medical, eh?)  and like my throat was choking or clogged.

Bleaugh - hope I get over this soon.
