Hot Dog

My poor Fionn, he can be a right royal pain. Martine and I took him for a walk today and he pulled and pulled and pulled, and then he pulled some more. In temperatures up to 20C, this had quite an adverse effect on him, but he wouldn't give up. I found a shady spot and made him lie down for a bout 5 - 10 minutes, until his breathing had somewhat returned to normal, but then as soon as we started to walk again, it was the same story.

So feeling really  sorry for him, I took him down to the stream nearly at the end of the walk. He couldn't get in there fast enough, we didn't manage to catch the moment when he nearly submerged him self, but here's a flavour.

Look at that mud trail
