Every now and then, we get to enjoy a respite day, where Tabitha is looked after by a lovely lady, who takes her out and does fun things with her, and we get to spend time with just Ellie. We had such a day on Tuesday, and we decided to use the time to take the dog on a very long walk around a local nature reserve. Here are some photos I took.
In the reserve, there are a group of ponies. Ellie loves to spend time with them. She sees all wild horses and ponies as a challenge, and she has to do all she can to gain their trust and respect. Her persistance has led to them now allowing her to touch them.

It was a lovely walk, and a lovely time free from the burden of special needs, buggies, and humming (Tabitha's current, very annoying, trait). A carefree time for all of us, and we loved it.
It sounds and looks as if it was lovely. A very special time together for you both. With regards to Tabitha's humming I know how those noises can get to you and I often refer to Ben's 'Mooing' (his kind of moaning) as driving me around the twist so I can sympathise.
