‘Five weeks ago she was running around the neighbourhood as she does and just didn’t see a pothole and rolled her ankle and got a small break in her ankle,’ he said.

‘So she’s been relegated to the boot for the last handful of weeks and is still sort of getting through it, but her spirits have been amazing I’ve got to say.   

‘She has been handling it way better than I would have.’
