Thanks DT and Dundee...very helpful and reassuring.

We didn't ( and don't) take Molly up on the moor until after 4.30 this afternoon...we don't want her to de-hydrate.

My concern was more the fact of her heart size and her ability to walk this far without us pushing her.

I'm glad to know we don't put her at risk with the hikes.

As for building her up, we have done that since she was old enough to start walking. She has been camping/hiking etc with us for over 2 yrs.

I think the people who were hiking today caused us concern, as they kept mentioning she was so small ( as if to say we shouldn't be hiking up a hill).

Thanks so much for the reassurance.
