Great success with the long lead this morning - after years of trying and failing to get #Sophiefromromania on the beach we struggled to get her off it

Yesterday #sophiefromromania was brave enough to go on the beach until she was scared by the sound of a wave. Today she seemed to decide she loved it. Did some zoomies and even dipped her toe almost in the waves.
