Back to Black Dog Halt

Today Ziggy and I went for a walk along the old railway track, the starting point of our walk being a place that is very special to me, Black Dog Halt.


As we walked, I realised that I had not taken that route since before Wiggle passed away but it was nice to think of the happy memories.


Ziggy was happy to trot along, taking it all in:


After recent rain, there was plenty of mud for Ziggy to splash in:


Daft, muddy Baldy Dog:


Ziggy ran ahead, just like Wiggle used to, as if he knew where he was: 


Through a gateway, we could see a large puddle had formed in the fields which lead to the river: 


I've never seen Ziggy run ahead as fast as he did today when he saw the water!


And he was in!



I just loved seeing him so utterly happy, splashing in the water, then running to me before heading back to the water:




And just as I was thinking how perfect it all was, I noticed Ziggy had found his idea of perfection - something nasty and stinky to roll in:


After some more splashing around, we headed back the way we had come:


And Ziggy had a bath as soon as we got home!

Ziggy is just Wiggle 2.0.
The Universe thought it will be a good idea to send Wiggle back for extra time :)

Black Dog Halt was waiting for the return of its Black Dog.

And Ziggy knew that it was time for another bath so might as well get in a good mucking before hand ;)
