I have a tenvis web cam, it has a lovely app on that can pan and tilt the camera to see everything. I have it trained squarely on the side so I can see everything without moving it.
I'm off on hollybobs on Thursday. I too am worrying about Freya, she's not a young pup anymore and i've noticed her struggling to climb places where she had no problems before.
Thankfully our next door neighbour is an animal friend and comes in to feed freya and let her run about every day.
