We took the madame to Lobau today with a large pack of dog biscuits 🐶 Small but nice holiday round, nice and flat for the senior dog and bright sunshine for the food bowl filler 🍂🍁☀️ I'm so happy that the dog is reasonably good on foot again! Many more rounds in the national park want to be discovered 🌳
