Well yesterday was the day, and we made it So proud of Totts, words can't describe. She struggled not going to lie but she done better than us haha. Everyone always has that special moment emotional or physical up there and with me it was with Totts. She worked herself so hard, she struggled climbing the rocks but done it to stick with me. Because of how much she pulled behind it took much longer than expected and the pulling behind made me struggle much more. A friend took her lead and I walked in front. She pulled forward to stay with me. Always felt shes not been that bothered by me and cares more for Muffin meant so much how much she wanted to be with me. Hasn't left my side since the climb and has even stopped jumping away from people she normally would and so far hasn't been so scared of loud noises.
Anyhoo back to Ben Nevis. It bucketed near enough the entire time. Only saw one break of sunlight and it was just before going into the clouds and at the "easiest" part lol! It took us around 7 and a half hours. With a lot of breaks!
Heres the pics I have so far will no doubt post more. John Im pretty sure you'll be keen to see "The Ben" again
Us at the Green Welly
View from the camp-site. Not even half I reckon, the rest above the cloud to the right.
Starting off
Soaked through
We've not been put off, we're doing the West Highland Way next year!
Will probably write more later just exhausted just now but really wanted to keep you all up to date
Thank you so much to those who have sponsored me. Any further sponsorship would be appreciated. I would love to have raised enough money to rescue an oldie.
Much Love
Laura

Goodness Totts is just that - totty! What a tiny wee dog for such a great big mountain. It is marvellous that she made it up there! Very impressed by you all and especially wee Totts. |

Thank you all for your great comments means so much. Literally just off my target now, but still got to go to Rouken Glen Vets and Pets at home to collect my sheets there. So fingers crossed.
Totts has been entered into the Guiness World Book of Records to see if she the shortest dog to attempt such a climb lol. _________________ http://www.justgiving.com/Laura-Anne-Innes Please support our cause. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Laura x |

Wow, well done to you all Totts is a fabby wee dog
m so glad you done this for this cause, when we used to rehome the greyhounds we used to have the odd older one too looking for a new home and it was great to see them go from kennel life to home life even after all that time (8yrs+ greyhounds) _________________ lurchers Pixel and Zev and whippet, Fen
