H and I snaffled a couple of nice nights at the coot on our own this week (thanks J&R) and took the chance to take Miss Maddie down to Climping, to see what she might make of the beach and sea.<\/p>\n

The beach definitely went down very well – cue lots of mad puppy runs, jumps and digging – and then it was time to get a ball out of the doggie rucksack. Which we haven't done for a very long time, as we had to stop throwing the ball for Scrumpy many years ago now once her hips got too dodgy.<\/p>\n

Maddie was deliriously happy with a ball being thrown along the shoreline – so we tried gently lobbing it into the shallows and BOOM – she was in!<\/p>\n

Lots of happy running and fetching in the sea, but all in her depth for now. We haven't yet tried out her swimming technique (hope she's got one!) – think that might need to be in one of the brooks by the rugby club or in Richmond Park, once the water levels come up again.<\/p>\n

But for now, she has officially been sea-dunked and drank a lot of tap water afterwards – just like Scrumpy used to, having guzzled a lot of the salty stuff.<\/p>\n

And v nice to make the most of one of the dwindling sunny September days, before autumn fully sets in. x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
