Finding its feet.

We're out in the garden at first light. Sophie's stomach is still unsettled with all the medication so Angus is attuned to any sounds that indicate an 'urgent' trip outside is needed. At this time in the morning the moon and Venus are gently dipping below the horizon. We stop and listen as the dawn chorus swells into a crescendo. 

Later, when the sun is up, Sophie gets given a yogurt pot to lick. She settles down in the courtyard to enjoy it .

Sophie is really much better after last weeks shock. We're back to having a morning walk together. The family diva follows me across the village green to open up the church. Today, the horses are studiously ignored.

As are the onion farmer and his wife.

We do however have a lengthy drink from the stream. This seems to please Sophie no end.

When we get home she settles into a contented sleep. There's nothing like the restoration of favoured routines to make a sheepdog girl happy.

So pleased to see that all is well in Sophie's world. Hope the drink from the stream won't cause her any problems.

I think someone else is happy to be back to a favoured routine. By the way, your wisteria is beautiful.

In that first photo, Sophie really does have that look of someone taking stock of their ordinary everyday life and finding it good. I'm so glad things worked out this way.

Looking good, little lady!

So happy Sophie can again engage in her routines with you . As my Joey has liver concerns too, I'm curious as to what your vet thinks caused Sophie's dramatic escalation of values. Happy too about the election returns...perhaps except for your own small sample.

I'm so happy to see Sophie recovering. I've said prayers for her and both pet people nightly. I can't imagine starting a morning without being able to check in on my ponette friend.
