Beanie was on great form during yesterday’s swimming lesson. She’s been so full of beans that we asked the veterinary nurse to give her a really good work out. She did double laps, resisted laps….you name it. After each lap the nurse always checks her heart rate. She was unable to get more than a very slight increase in Beanie’s very low normal resting pulse rate. She’s a fit little girl!

Now that she’s got her first swimming course under her belt our plan is to cut back. We considered taking her once a fortnight or even once a month just to keep her joints nice and safe and strong. But we’ve decided it will probably do her more good to take about three months off swiming and then to do another concentrated block of lessons in the new year. And if we wait until February Biggles will be old enough to join her :)
