Happy Place
Yesterday did not go to plan. Not even a little bit. Dad got up ready for another exciting day out and then his back went. By the time Mum had come out of the shower, he was flat on his back in bed and not moving anywhere. There went a day at the top of the Rigi doing nothing. In one of those typical ironies the weather had improved overnight and it was shaping up to be a lovely day. My human aunt decided to go up the Rigi anyway, so Mum and I took her to where the starting point was for going up and then went home to check on Dad.
If life gives you lemons
Mum doesn’t believe in doing nothing. She said she’d promised me a good day so even though Dad couldn’t come, we could at least go out for a while and enjoy the beautiful day. She suggested we do the walk we did yesterday but without the bar b q in the middle. I was game so we set off. We met one farm dog who wasn’t very nice to me, but I just walked on by. I did look over my shoulder for a while when we’d passed, but he was happy that we hadn’t hung around. We stopped for a drink part way at a drinking trough that’s there. It’s fed by water off the mountain so is naturally chilled and very refreshing. Mum timed us so we can see if we get fitter or not for future circuits. It all took us an hour and twenty-eight minutes. By the time we got back I don’t think either of us wanted to go any further.
We went to pick my aunt up again when she’d finished her mountaineering, but other than that I was happy to put my paws up. I’m hoping to see some of my friends today as I missed them yesterday.
Love
