Last Friday we headed to one of the Dutch islands, Texel. The largest island in the Wadden region in the north of the Netherlands.
We have been there a few times already, with a succession of dogs. I must say, it is the first time we didn't have to find a vet on our first day... Probably because we didn't head straight for the beach this time as we hadn't let Narnia run freely outside a pen just then.
But, yesterday was the big day! We were taking her off the leash. Where could she go, right, it's an island?
Still, it's a big step to let a relatively new dog go free for the first time. Especially as it is a sight hound.
My heart stopped only about four times when she started chasing (the shadows) of some overflying birds and took off at full speed. I can tell you, she is even faster than our Toeke was! (Who was clocked during training once at 66 km/hr.)
As you can see, Narnia came back (pheeeew)...
Another nice side effect: they were pooped for the rest of the day! All three crashed on a sofa and didn't move a muscle for the rest for the evening.
