Babasling rocks

As you know Elliot has been poorly, so getting out and about has been a bit of a challenge, especially as he can't breath when he lies down or when the cold air or wind hits him.

The dogs were going to explode in a mess of dog guts if I didn't get out and walk them, so we headed out with the sling. Elliot is a bit of a big lad now, so I only tend to use the sling for the school run and shorter walks.

I put Elliot in his sling, stuffed a bottle into his mouth and luckily he quickly fell asleep.

Trudging through the mud in my wellies was a bit dodgy at times, and a few times I thought I might slip and squash Elliot into a little baby pancake. However I managed to stay upright, and walking through the deep mud and water must have done the world of good for my thigh muscles.

Nearly two hours later we headed back to the car with a sleeping Elliot, two tired dogs and only a very slight ache in my shoulder from carrying him for so long.

Of course it had to go pear shaped at the last minute. Kelvin decided that it would be fun to run across the very busy road several times, leaving me having a panic, and waiting for the sound and sight of a car smashing into him. Luckily he eventually came back, had a good telling off and was quickly shut into the crate in the car.
