What amazing memories you are amassing on your travels!   I think your gentle giant has made more friends on this one journey than most of us make in an entire lifetime!  Such a special girl you have there!  Spreading the love!  Again thanks you for taking us all along with you!

She is so strong and agile on the sand!

What did the kids think of her missing leg?

I wish I was that Karen and got a chance to pet Eurydice! (and meeting those lifeguards wouldn't be bad either)

Hey there Clare 💗

Eurydice is always a hit with kids, she totally adores them to bits and is ever so gentle and patient when she is around them🌹

In fact, she was going to be a therapy dog when we'd be back in the UK (and has a lovely reference letter from her onco) except I was informed she would not be accepted whilst on chemo, rules are rules, they told us and I thought damn the rules 😡 it's everybody's loss. 

Anyway ... 

I'm sure you're right and Clara will remember my girl as this huge sweet cow 🐮

More little videos later, we went back to the beach 👙  it was overcast and lots of waves but still managed to meet lovely people, as always💕

Sending you much love, kisses and cuddles 😘😘😘🐾🐾🐾❤️

Hi Karen 💜

She is a real torpedo hoping fast and furious on the sand 💨💨💨💨⚡️I still cannot believe how her muscles developed since we arrived💪🏽💥

The kids were asking where her leg was and I said she was in pain and the doctor put her to sleep and removed the pain and now she is very happy with her three legs. 

Then, Clara asked "will it grow back?" 😊

She is not the first kid asking that, children are such sweet angels 😇😇😇

Well, if you ever come to Portugal we'll go to Guincho beach together and have a proper look at those life guards 👀😂

Sending you lots of love and cuddles to your cute mini hounds 🐾🐾❤️❤️😘😘

Today was quite overcast, there were quite a few fishermen and a few couples around, I thought it was going to be a quiet day
