A very wet Judy

The Shroppie is a lovely canal but it can get a bit monotonous. Its so straight and quite rural. and the occasional wooded cutting and embankment does help to keep the interest, so......when Judy fell in trying to jump of the boat, it gave us a sudden rude awakening. We had just stopped for the night at the A5 aqueduct and was attempting to tie up when Judy decided she just had to get off. Her front legs reached the bank but the back legs didn't. Luckily Ian rushed over and plucked her from the water just as she was about to go under. Thankfully she appeared okay but as the evening progressed, we noticed that her walk became very stiff. So yet another painkiller tablet and more to worry about!!
