I\u2019m not good at this. I don\u2019t like having to stay at home. I\u2019m not that kind of dog. Oh I\u2019ve been given the great big chew to work my way through, but it\u2019s not like going out and wearing myself out. Apparently I\u2019m being too bouncy, but I can\u2019t help that. I\u2019m on springs and these hormones don\u2019t help. I\u2019m all over the place. One minute I feel high and the next I could sit down and cry. What is a girl to do? Shadow\u2019s talked me through everything and explained why I need to wear pants around the house, but you\u2019d think they\u2019d be more understanding of when I feel the need to take them off to be a bit more comfortable. Alfie tries to clear up after me, but even he says my bounciness is getting a bit wearing. I just wish it would hurry up and finish, but Mum says it will probably be another week or so yet. The worst bit apart from the walks is that she has actually cut down my food! I\u2019m hungry. I\u2019m used to the size of portions I normally have and I still really want that amount. Oh Mum has explained to me it\u2019s for my own good and I\u2019d be putting weight on otherwise but then when I see her raid the ice cream drawer it really adds insult to injury. I did get to help her plant the carrots yesterday afternoon and that was fun. I can\u2019t actually reach where they are, but apparently that\u2019s deliberate, which is quite mean really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They went down to the pub in the village the other night, the humans that is, they didn\u2019t take us. Anyway, apparently they need a really good torch at the moment to stop them stepping on all the toads. There aren\u2019t any street lights where we live, but there are lots of little toads at this time of the year. I guess they are heading for the pond or the brook. Apparently they counted 15 on their short walk home, mind you that included a couple that weren\u2019t going to be going anywhere because they\u2019d been squished by cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m off back to my chew, catch you later<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
