Walkies!

Since switching completely to the Burns diet, Roxie's started eating a little more enthusiastically, clearing her bowl in one go. As we were switching over, she was picking out the Burns and leaving the JWB, so we gave up the softly softly approach (as it was clearly pointless) and just went for it.

She's now found a new favourite spot in the lounge - behind our chairs. She obviously likes living dangerously, as it doesn't seem to occur to her that she could get squished as we rock them back or forwards, so we're having to be a bit careful!

I decided to see how well the lead walking had improved, and took her for a walk around the block today. Once we'd got off the drive (well, there's that scary car there - she wouldn't want to go near that), she was quite good, if undisciplined. After a while, she got tired and it was more difficult to coax her forward, but I was pleased with how well she'd walked with me until then.
