Hello everyone. I\u2019m not quite so bouncy as normal. My leg has been bad again and I\u2019m starting to feel a bit worried about it. I had to ask not to go for a walk again yesterday, but to be honest I\u2019m quite fed up of resting it. Sitting with your paws up on your own, isn\u2019t much fun when you\u2019re starting to think there may not be much prospect of it improving. We had a bit of a heart to heart, our Mistress and me as I limped back to the car from where we\u2019d gone. She thinks it would help if I didn\u2019t have the mad urge to chase Wilma round the garden every so often. I know she\u2019s right, but it\u2019s Wilma. She taunts me and won\u2019t accept no for an answer. Our Mistress has been keeping us apart so I\u2019m less tempted but that\u2019s no fun and I miss her. I\u2019m getting lots and lots of love and cuddles and our Mistress is trying her best to make me feel extra special, but I\u2019m a bit sad. We\u2019re going to change where we walk to somewhere even softer underfoot and maybe spend some time with me just sitting out in the garden with our Mistress without Wilma around. I did ask what would happen in the future if my legs got worse, but our Mistress said I shouldn\u2019t be worrying about that yet. The problem is, I am worrying. She says I can go swimming again next week as Alfie is still enjoying some exercise in the garden. She did say that when I was a puppy the specialist talked about operations I might be able to consider but that they were for the future. Maybe it\u2019s the future now and I\u2019ll need to go to see them to talk about it. It\u2019s not easy having bad legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
