Bridge to 10k temporarily on hold, for a good reason though

I've been a bit quiet on here lately. My anxiety got just a bit too much for me in May and I wasn't in a great place, I'm currently off work due to it. Then 2 and a half weeks ago I took on a new family member. Max was looking for a new home and he came to us on trial. He's now staying with us. We've had a few short runs together but he wasn't getting walked much previously so I'm taking things slow with him. Anyhow despite being a pain in the bum at times he's helped me so much already, and helped my daughter who was nervous around dogs. I love him to bits 😊

I'll get back to the plan when I'm ready, hopefully soon. Just wanted to let you know I'm not being ignorant and still love the running!!

He looks lovely, nice coat. Is he a staffie?

[Mand102 in reply to pinkaardvark]

Thanks. Yes he's a big, bouncy, very friendly blue Staffy. He actually got picked on by a tiny Yorkshire Terrier yesterday bless him!

Good for you 🙂. Dogs are such a distraction aren’t they. You put their needs before your own, in a good way, so hopefully the relationship will be mutually beneficial 👍

I went to see a a pal the other day, and she fosters dogs who have varying needs. They seem to blossom in her care. Amazing to witness as she seems to have a hands-off approach. She tends their wounds, does the vet visits etc etc but gives them their own space and lets them come to her if and when they want to. She does fund-raisers for the charity and they’re always fun 😁

Your dog looks a beauty. Enjoy your trots out. When it’s cooler though 😂
