Wednesday 18th December 2013 – All clear for swimming

My vet has given the all clear for me to start hydrotherapy. I’ve got to wait a few weeks before I can go, because of the puppies and because I need an hour session for my first one. If it weren’t for having to get into the water I think I’d be quite looking forward to it. There is still a possibility that if I panic when they try to get me in the water then I won’t be doing it, but we’ll wait and see. I’m more optimistic than I was.

From an eating point of view, but probably no other, I think I would like to be pregnant. Shadow can now ask to be fed at any time she chooses and if my Mistress goes out she is left in the utility with a full bowl of food to help herself too. Not only that but she’s not getting fat, not in the traditional sense, just very pregnant but that will all sort itself out next week. We may be only a week away from little Casanova and Cinderella making an appearance. Almost all the preparations have been made except for setting up the cameras, but that won’t happen until after the nice electrician man comes to install the light he’s putting in later this week. After that happens my Mistress will move her bed down too. I’ll be allowed to sleep in there with them the first few nights but when things start to happen I get in the way so I’m sent out to wait like an expectant father. I know Falk won’t mind my keeping a watchful male eye on his behalf as he can’t be here to see them all arrive. He has already had around 60 puppies so he might not get quite as excited as he used to when a new batch turn up.
