Feeling a bit better this morning, we decided to head for Branston. We'd warned Elanor to expect to find us on the water point at eight, the tank being down to less than an eighth full. When we got there, we had to hang about for a Canaltime to finish filling, during which time Elanor turned up with Sally.
I think the Canaltime had finished; at any rate, they moved off soon after, and Sally wasn't at all vocal towards them…
The effort of doing all this demonstrated that we weren't as fully recovered as we thought. Fortunately, there was a space on the moorings beyond the water point, so we've stopped on it for at least today, and possibly tomorrow as well. We've got until Friday to move away and still comply with the 14 day rule.
I gave Sally a walk to Wychnor Lock this morning, but apart from that we've been taking it quietly. The good news is that Elanor's training exercise with Sal last night, working on her staying in the house quietly, seems to have been successful. Elanor was out for an hour and the neighbours reported no noise from the pooch.
The combination of the anti bark collar (it vibrates if she barks loudly), being shut in the room with her home cage in it, having something to chew and Radio 2 to listen to seems to be doing the trick. We'll carry on dog sitting this week, and Elanor will hopefully be able to complete the training over the weekend.
