A dog going for a walk is not an unusual occurrence I know but life has changed so much for us in the last year since we moved home I just wanted to record one of the differences.

My health problems and the area we used to live made taking Bobby for a walk a rare event in the previous few years and then because I was pretty ill for a while when we moved here. But when I began to feel better I was kind of forced into taking him out. One, because I no longer have a garden where I can just let him out to run in and the 'We'll take him for walks' promise from the family never did materialise. And two, for my own health, getting out and about is helping me too. I can't go far, or too fast, but Bobby is pretty good 75% of the time and so we get by.
