Super proud of this wee girl today, I was heading up to Birmingham with my brother to watch my niece Imi run, leaving at 11 and not back til 6. Grace was staying with mum and dad, I asked Grace to be a good girl for them and infact she was a superstar
My mum has fallen hook line and sinker for her charms
Super proud moment number 2 ... Grace went for a walk this evening with me and mum from their house
Mum and Dad have a back gate out of the garden onto an alleyway alongside the large churchyard grounds - I didn’t have high hopes for a successful walk but as the day cooled (slightly !) I popped her lead and harness on, Grace always loves that bit and gets very excited
Mum went first and Grace followed
We enjoyed a short 15/20 minute or so walk along the alleyway to the local allotments where you can walk between them and back home again - superstar Grace again
Mum saying to me “but I thought you said she wouldn’t walk !!!” - very clearly she did and I was talking a load of rubbish !!!
Photos tomorrow !

What an amazing girl you are Grace, Amazing Grace
So I told Mum & Dad I was bringing Gracie home for the weekend and she was the one who was scared of walking so it would be an ‘in the garden weekend’ which I knew Grace would love.
And indeed she does love that BUT SHE HAS ALSO LOVED ANOTHER WALK THIS MORNING
Just goes to show, keep your expectations in check and these wonderful woofers will always surprise you every time
Mum doesn’t believe me now about Grace and her walkies !!!
I know this is just a moment, Grace will still have her wobbles going out into the big wide world for walkies, but she can and does enjoy it, just gotta be when she wants it And when she wants to its a super enjoyable walk that is so so special
We went out the side gate where the cars are parked, Grace’s tail and bum went low which is the sure sign she’s nervous as anything, I had to move my car so in she jumped to the passenger seat, I moved the car along, parked up again and out she jumped. Save instead of heading inside like I expected, she strolled off up the road so I duly followed
The plan was that we would all go to the local country park in Mum and Dads car and hopefully Grace could jump out there and enjoy a cuppa at the small cafe there. Instead of that Grace and I walked 25 mins to the cafe and met my folks there - wey hey, blooming fantastic Gracie-pie xxxxxx we both enjoyed it very much
Coffee for us and a bit of Dads ice cream for Grace !!!
Then Grace and I walked on, another 10mins or so before hopping into the car as it was getting very hot - my choice, not Grace’s
Loved it

Yesterday morning brekkie in the sunshine, I say brekkie, it was Graces 3rd breakfast !!! She had enjoyed her breakfast followed by some natural yoghurt and this was toast time !!! Grace also had a bath yesterday morning before I headed off, good as gold albeit not her definition of fun ! She endured it in good faith and once over I think she actually liked being wet and cool ! We enjoyed her super soft fur and sweet smelling
Cuddles when I got home ... And ice cream for tea ... Walkies yesterday evening Time for a rest ... Evening playtime in the garden, Grace LOVES to play ball My xxx

Walkies this morning Tail up, relaxed and enjoying herself, Grace and I thoroughly enjoyed our walk Meeting up with my folks in the country park ... "Mmmmm, that ice cream looks nice" "Can I have some pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease" Well, what do you think ? Of course she could !!! Grace loves to watch the world go by She's actually quite the nosey parker !!! More fuss and cuddles in the shade before we set off again to walk a bit more of the country park ... It really was rather hot though so we jumped in the car and Grace enjoyed the view and the breeze through the window !!! (with me holding on to her very securely by the way !!!) All that fun meant Grace enjoyed a rest once we got home ! Like I've said above, I had no expectation of Grace going for a walk, we were all set to take a drive in the car as I know Grace enjoys that and head to the cafe in the car - that was all going to be just lovely, but bless this gorgeous girl she surpassed herself, led the way and walked from my folks house all the way to the cafe, enjoyed her bit of ice cream and lots of fuss and then didn't hesitate to carry on walking - LOVE HER,

Ok, Mum really doesn’t believe me now, walk no.3 successful with Gracie
Maybe she knew there was a sausage supper waiting for her when she got home !!! She certainly enjoyed it !
Mum and I sitting outside in the garden where it’s cool at last, Grace takes that as a cue to play !
Can’t believe I haven’t mentioned Grace’s happy thumping tail !!!
Such a waggy tail and it responds by wagging quicker and quicker every time you tell Grace she’s a good girl - which is often !!!
It’s like a drum roll getting faster and faster !!!
We had a refusal at the rear gate to the garden but Grace wanted to go out the side gate this evening ! Dad was sorting out his car so the back doors were open, Grace jumped in and then straight out the same side and we were off ! Another lovely evening walk in the shady spots of the pavement, along the alleyway and over the corner of a field. Lovely walk again, Grace is just fantastic Maybe she knew there was a sausage supper waiting for her when she got home !!! She certainly enjoyed it !

4 out of 4 ! Grace just enjoyed an evening walk back at mine !
Grace travelled back down to my house with me this afternoon, a little angel in the car content with the odd ear tickle or head scratch ! Until the traffic jam then she wanted her tummy tickled !!!
At home I needed to water my plants, Gracie wasn't too keen on the hosepipe, she wanted the water to herself !! So to get the job done I had to shut her indoors, well bless she was good as gold, just stood at the conservatory doors watching me
Once it had got cooler this evening, I mentioned the walkies word ! Harness and lead on we headed out the door - I spotted a moments hesitation so opened the car door and in she hopped - decided to drive to the common up the road rather than ask her to walk from here - so important to set Grace up for success and that's what we got, she was happy to jump out the car and head off over the grass - so much so that this evening I had her on the extender lead and she loved it ! My smile was beaming from ear to ear, bursting with love for this beautiful girl So my door is the front door and very definitely heads out onto the road and pavement - not sure if that what made her hesitate ? Mum and Dads house is down a small cul de sac with no obvious pavement/road, it's all paved and we don't use their front door, we use the gate from the garden, was that why she was happy to walk from there ? Who knows, only Grace but so long as she's happy so am I !!!
So here's tonights videos ...
Grace I am soooooo proud of you
