It was a lovely evening beach walk today. Mia and I did a *drag-run from the house past the security guard and up to the main road. It seems that our human pack couldn't keep up with us! We did the usual - sniff around and even got to meet a couple of other dogs that were off leash.
During one of those encounters - and we do like to get a bit over-excited and jump around and bark a lot - Mia hurt her rear left paw. Shame. My poor sister kept raising her leg and limping around on three legs. We checked her paw but no blood and nothing sticking in anywhere. Perhaps it's a splinter? She is being very brave and not crying or anything. I do hope she's alright in the morning.
This is a photo of Mia taken recently but giving her best crazy-face look.
* Drag-run: a forward hopping, leaping and running movement where an over-excited Poodle wants to run but is constrained by leash and weight and will of a pack human giving the run the appearance of a floppy eared hairy dolphin zooting along the tarmac. The drag-run often happens at the start and end of a walk.
