Freya - Our Poorly Puppy

It was another day that began rather too early as I had to wake Granny to let me out for a pee at 5am.  It’s obviously good that my body is clearing the effusions but not so good that the timing is so anti-social.  I wonder if I took my Prilactone tablet at a different time of day it might make a difference to when the urge to pee becomes irresistible.  Definitely worth experimenting.

I snuggled in beside Granny for a lie in until the men folk had departed for work. 

My pre-breakfast corticosteroid slipped down without me biting into it and all my medications disappeared without incident at breakfast time.  I am getting used to the smaller, more frequent and very bland meals and seem to be benefiting too as I haven’t had a single episode of shivering in pain so far today.

 

 

I took time out on Mum’s bed when I discovered that the sun was shining in.  My regular readers will know how I do love the sun.

With the improvement in the weather, Granny got us organised and off we went for another adventure at the Lower Leas Coastal Park.  Granny made an enormous error of judgement when she guessed that our first potential playmate was only a youngster when he had actually celebrated his 11th birthday yesterday.  I did a brief birthday dance for him and he certainly seemed to appreciate it as he joined in.

I had a brief encounter with two very polite little charmers and was astounded to hear their owner say that they used to be really aggressive but have improved markedly since being allowed off lead much more frequently.

I got distracted though when I spotted the pack of collies that I met once before.  I ran over to join in the fun and they were up to the same synchronised activity as when I met them previously.  I couldn’t actually count how many there were today but I’m pretty sure it was eight.  Granny didn’t actually get any photos . . . unbelievable.  I trotted back to Granny without any evidence of a cough  . . .  hooray!

We searched high and low to see if we could find any more playmates but there weren’t many people around as the weather was deteriorating again. 

I did have the chance to say hello to a spaniel but her puppy was so shy that she ran away to hide behind a bench with her tail between her legs . . . bless.  I remember when I was none too sure of socialising.  It’s definitely not the case now.  ;o)

Unfortunately the rain had begun again so that we headed back towards the car.  I chose a different path and we encountered some sizable puddles.

 

After the magpie yesterday, it was a pigeon that I disturbed today and Granny scarcely had time to lift the camera let alone focus it.

I detected an interesting scent as we were approaching the car and stood up to investigate.

Back at home and Granny gave me a light lunch and two of my homeopathic remedies.  She’s very proud of the way I take them so obligingly.  Granny is constantly setting timers and alarms to make sure that medications are taken at appropriate times and with the necessary intervals.  I’m currently on ten different medications and four supplements . . . if you were to shake me I’m sure I would rattle.

This afternoon I resorted to a spell of neighbourhood watch from my favourite armchair.  I was home alone for a while when Granny went shopping.  By home alone I actually mean home with the three cats but no humans.  Granny brought me home some fresh cod which I thoroughly enjoyed and I’ve been stretched out on the settee this evening.



Well folks . . . it’s almost time for my midnight snack and medications so I’ll close for tonight and hope to sleep right through.

 

Please call back for future pupdates.

Night all.
