Freya - Our Poorly Puppy

It was an early awakening for Granny again this morning as I was desperate for a pee at about 5.30 am.  I immediately returned to rest and relax on Mum’s bed and was excellent about taking my corticosteroid when Granny brought it to me at 7.30 am.  On the other hand, I wasn’t in the mood for breakfast and ate a few bits of chicken if Granny fed them to me by hand.  It wasn’t until about 2.30 pm that I actually finished my breakfast.  I hope Granny will cook me a fat free spaghetti Bolognese as I’m longing for some beef.

It was a quiet morning this morning with me basically lazing it away apart from the occasional wander to my bowl for a drink.  At least my raging thirst is under control these days.  I reckon I drink about a gallon of water a day instead of the two or more that I was drinking.

I thoroughly enjoyed my outing today and I think Granny did too.  It was kind of the same as usual but kind of different too.  We went down to the Lower Leas Coastal Park as usual but it was very different at first when it was humans without dogs who were befriending us.  Firstly there was a man and his nephew from Kurdistan.  They asked Granny to take a photograph of them and then they wanted another with me posing with them.  I did move just as Granny snapped the shot but I think they’ve got a glimpse of me in the frame.  They said I was beautiful.

A few yards further on and it was a group of young children who were so excited to meet me.  There were three girls with two mummies and a baby being carried.  The girls were very enthusiastic and I bounced around with them whilst trying to be very careful not to knock anyone over.

It wasn’t until the end of the outing that we met another dog-free group of humans who befriended me.  This time it was a group of teenagers.  I met Jason first as I waited for him to catch up with me so that I could say hello.  A group of girls were teasing and calling for me to kill him but, me being me, I most certainly would not do it.  When they caught up with me they pretended that I was Jason’s Mum . . . . silly sausages!  They were very friendly and listened as Granny told them of my fame.  I reckon they might try to find me on Facebook.  I wonder if they’ll succeed as Granny had not got my business cards with her.  Too many lapses like that and I’ll have to sack her . . . . . . . . . only kidding!  ;o)

As for my canine encounters, there were plenty.  There was virtually a dog party on the beach and I went and joined in enthusiastically.  A Mummy was really laughing when firstly a Labrador went and disturbed her daughter who was trying to have a discreet wee behind a rock and then I did the same from the other side.  Poor girl.  Thankfully she wasn’t scared and seemed to find it as funny as her Mummy.  I don’t know the names of all the dogs on the beach and am very surprised that Granny didn’t photograph all of them . . . unbelievable!

We then enjoyed a gentle stroll although I did cause havoc when I attempted to join two separate joggers and almost tripped both of them . . . . big oops!  Granny grabbed me by the harness when a cyclist was approaching so that I didn’t cause an accident there.

 

It was so peaceful in the park area that all we could hear was the sound of birdsong.  Granny clicked away and managed to get some photos that she was pleased with.

My final canine encounter was with Rosie who I’ve met before.  Her owner seems to think she’s a bit of a drama queen as she suddenly screamed for no apparent reason but was then absolutely fine.  I really don’t like it when I hear that kind of sound as I really do want everyone to be well and happy and certainly not in pain.

On the way home we popped in at the vets to collect my medications and to weigh me.  I’m 32.25kg this week so I reckon the medications are probably doing a reasonable job.  I met two dogs whilst either in the clinic or on my way back to the car.  The second was the most adorable puppy who was only six months old and as keen as mustard to play with me despite being only as tall as my knees.  

Back at home and Granny let me get straight onto the laptop so that I could type up my blog . . . thanks, Granny.  I then stretched out on the settee for a snooze as Granny got on with a variety of household chores.

I’ve enjoyed a quiet evening with the log fire blazing and scented candles burning as more snow falls.  My dream of having some beef became reality when Uncle Andy left some lean steak for me to really enjoy.

I wonder if I’ll wake to a white world again in the morning.  I hope I manage to sleep through so that I don’t disturb Granny.  I hope you will be able to enjoy a lovely weekend and hope to see you again for a future pupdate.

Night all.
