I know I said Thursday last week was when the last hike post was going to be but I was busy looking after the leg I said I hurt. On Monday, last week, Mom, Big Guy and I set off to explore a hill we have had our eye on for a long time. It was a great walk and the views were really something special.
Chanctonbury Ring on the horizon.
The astounding view
You shall not pass!
A massive trunk with dates and names carved in
Wow! That is like hundreds of years old

Today we went to the vet because of Dina's leg. In theory it was fine but she can't sit properly and it is obvious she is saving it. She hurt it on the hike she described above when chasing through a field after some birds. The scream was terrifying.
Less than five minutes after she hurt it.
Over the next few days it got better but only to a certain point (the one described above ie. still saving the leg). So off to the vet we went. After an examination- which I had to held securely for- the vet told us it was most probably the cruciate ligament. We have to make an X-Ray appointment within the week and were sent home with pain medicine.
Hey pups! As promised today is another hike post, this time about Sunday's hike. We went to a new hill that Mom had been dying to visit for ages now. It did not disappoint. With the glorious weather (clear skies and 25/77 degrees) and breath-taking views it really was worth the climb. Our starting point was Hurtwood which we visited before but this time we took the opposite direction to last time.

A boarding and day school just outside the wood.
Hitting the trail we spotted cow-dogs horses, cows and loads of bugs that I kept trying to eat.
Loner calf. Just like Mom!
Pretty girl/boy- I didn't look :D
This wasn't a long or particularly steep climb but the descent was pretty harsh on the knees (or so Mom says!).
A fancy, named gate
Amazing
The road to victory
In the village at the foot of the hill we came upon a church.
Hey pups! Beautiful weather was on vacation in Surrey these past few days and you know what that means: hikes! And lots of 'em. I went on three so we might as well split it to three posts. Today is about Friday's walk. The whole hike was a regular that Mom and I walk very often
but the awesome started towards the end when we reached the gold course (let me tell you, a golf course is one of the finest places to walk - so much room and space to run, play and romp.) and as it was evening there were no golfers around. We played fetch among the rolling slopes of the course and got some awesome shots.
Mom's favourite of the day
Mid-jump
We frisbee-ed for a solid hour and I was very much pooped at the end of it.
Licks and Wags,
Dina
PeeS. On today's hike (Monday) I was running through a field after a pheasant and hurt my leg. It is slightly swollen and we don't know what is wrong yet. Hopefully it will go down in a few days but if not then Mommy says a V-E-T visit is in order.
Hey pups! Back from our little A to Z vacation and back to our routine which as I said in the first post to Train Trek England will be pretty un-routiney. One of the things that made Dog the Dina more of a chore was the pressure of thinking I had to post everyday but that it not how I'm gonna do it on here. I'll try to post at least twice a week (not including Black and White Sunday and Wordless Wednesday) but we'll see.
As it's FitDog Friday we'd like to share with you today's hike. It was an afternoon one Mom took me on after she came home. We left at 16:20 and came home around 19:45 so it was a pretty long one. We didn't take many photos but here are the few we did take.
I don't know if you can read it but Mom and I thought it was really sweet. BTW it was by the stream pictured above.
We explored a new trail leading off from one of our most common destinations and Mom thought she vaguely remembered walking it before she got me. It was great and I'm really happy to officially announce I don't mind going into streams and lakes and other watery thingys. But I still hate baths!
Hey pups! It's cold. For May. Well maybe not cold, it''s 12 degrees C but it is raining like heck. Didn't stop us from going on an adventure today (not about that today though!). To cheer us up we thought it would be nice to look back at photos we took a couple of days ago when we had a nice sunset.
