Now I don’t know whether it is the sunshine or the new tablets from the vet, or for that matter the lavender and mint spray, but for the last few days I’ve felt a lot happier. I can move my neck further than I’ve been able to for a while, which I guess is the tablets. I have wanted to go out for walks and yesterday our Mistress gave in and took me. She was still glad we didn’t see another dog as she has no idea just how far improved my mood is, and come to that neither have I. I didn’t want to go very far when we got there, but that wasn’t the point. I was tail up, a happy dog, sniffing the breeze and enjoying that day. Oh I’ve still grizzled in the house when I can’t be with our Mistress, but I don’t think I’ve been quite so bad there either and certainly she says I have not been quite so bad in the garden. I shall be ten and half on Friday and it would be nice to think that, for at least a while anyway, I could have a happier old age.
Wilma is going to talk to our vet today about her teeth and jaw. She’s trying not to worry, but is hoping that our vet might say something encouraging to her. I even offered to go to hold her paw, but I have to say I was relieved when she said she’d be fine with our Mistress. She and our Mistress have become very close and the odd thing is that I’m not jealous. It’s impossible not to love Wilma. There’s just something about her that even we dogs can see is very special. She’s got the doggy ‘it’ factor. That indefinable something that very few have and which is impossible to pin down.
