Rugeley

This Spring sunshine is a real treat to travel in. We cruised through Armitage and past a factory making toilets. From here we plunged into Armitage tunnel whose walls were carved out of bedrock. Tiger Lilly, who got lots of praise, comfort and treats, coped better than expected with this. We've been giving her a Tryptophan based daily calming tablet to try and stop her movement disorder episodes and it seems to be helping.

We moored in Rugeley between a row of brown brick terraces and the grounds of a factory. It may not have been the most picturesque of settings but it was very close to several large supermarkets. Will made numerous trips to these and one to Kev's Pets to get Tiger Lilly some gluten free kibble. Apparently gluten is a trigger in many cases of movement disorder so we're going to keep her gluten free from now on.

Vicky made it out with Will and the dogs to drop off some items at the Farplace animal charity shop. Rugeley had a number of charity shops as well as quite a few small businesses. Even so the town centre did look a bit downtrodden. Leo and Tiger were given lots of fuss and treats at Farplace, with Leo leaping from his bag on to the counter to pose for a photo the volunteer wanted to take of him. It made his day!Leia mais
