It rained heavily early this morning so our big plan was nearly shelved. Then the rain stopped and the sun came out, so we set out at 9.30am for a walk. This time we kept going.
From the green way that we normally walk from the shops, we continued on to Mount Painter. It may have been a long walk with hundreds of trees, but Kane was intent on smelling most of them.
Here are the photos from our big walk. They are in sequence. If any look out of place, it means that I have looked backwards to show where we had just been. We had a few rest stops - Kane told me he needed a rest by lying down, which was a good time to have a drink. At the steepest upward climb we took little steps.
On the way home, we didn't follow an alley way in Cook (the suburb) as there was a huge Husky wandering around without a person, and I wanted to avoid any danger. We soon came across Cook shops, which was our landmark for the way home. We finally returned home at 11.30am.

We actually walked a long way. The red line is the route we took. The green X is Cook oval, which we walk to on some evenings.
It was well timed as after midday, there was a huge thunderstorm.
The big walk did not even tire Kane out. This evening (the rain stopped mid afternoon), he insisted on another walk, so we went to Macquarie oval. Compared to the big adventure, it wasn't a walk but a trip around the corner!
There was a big puppy party on - with Sammy and Shayla (Belgian Shepherd), Jake (Kelpie/Labrador), Jack (Jack Russell Terrier X), Viva (Labrador), Rosie (Kelpie) and Bruno (Labrador). Bruno loves Kane and wouldn't leave him alone. Thankfully Kane enjoyed playing with him. As we were leaving, Nellie (Cocker Spaniel) arrived.
Today was the best Kane Day ever. For an old dog, Kane is certainly not wheel chair bound!
Tonight, he had raw topside beef for dinner (and last night). It's a dog's life!
