Nap the #BorderCollie had her first #walk in the #LakeDistrict #fells since we #adopted her in June. She was a #lakes #sheepdog for 4 years but lost her role because she was afraid of vehicles.She was brave today and went in the car to Caldbeck Commons for #walkies @keswickboot.bsky.social

Nap is actually 4 years old she's spent all that time as working dog on a farm living in a shed, not much time for puppy fun, now rejected she's able to spend time playing. She was terrified of everything when we adopted her and we were told she would probably not play. Its none stop fun now

Sheila Gregory @sheilagregory.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Here's some #flowers from my #garden. A bit rustic, but the butterflies like them.I am posting them now as they might be destroyed. Note the small #rescue #🐕, Nap. She is channelling her inner #puppy. She has tried to destroy the greenhouse and eaten a hose. @keswickboot.bsky.social #sheepdog
