Beach; Vet and a guardian angel

About 3 weeks ago, I took Jessie and Lily to the beach in the morning. Both girls had a lot of fun both on the beach and the 6 miles walk up to the light house later on. Needless to say they were tired once we got home.














About 1.5 weeks ago, Jessie was due to go to the vet for her 2 year health check. The evening before I noticed that she was limping and once we got home she was constantly nibbling on her front paw. I checked it out and found that she probably bit it open, so I asked the vet the next morning to check it out. Turned out she had a blister on her paw. It must have been painful, as we had to hold her down with 2 people so that the vet could shave off the fur around her paw. She was given an antibiotics shot and got tablets for a week. It healed very well and she is now as good as new.

On Tuesday, I had a guardian angel looking down on her too. I took them to a nearby park at around 5:45pm. Jessie was sniffing around like normal and Lily played with her ball, when suddenly someone let of a firework. Now Jessie is terrified of them and took a run. Lily followed her as quickly as she could. I called them both back but only Lily came. I put her on the lead and followed Jessie. I could see that she was in a panic, she didn’t listen at all, she was just running. She crossed 3 roads (one of them a main road) and went running home and was sitting front of the door shivering. I was so glad she knew were she lived and that nothing happened to her while she crossed the road.
