Even I don\u2019t understand me. Tuesday when I went swimming I had a good day. I worked really hard at my swimming, enjoyed it and was quiet in the afternoon afterwards. Being quiet may have been because I was genuinely physically tired. Wednesday, by contrast I simply could not settle. I moaned and cried all morning until our Mistress let me sit in the car for a couple of hours, where I totally relaxed and had a sleep. I don\u2019t know why the car feels so much better than anywhere else. I suppose it\u2019s always been a good place where I feel close to our Mistress, but I have no idea why I can\u2019t do that in the house itself. She has got to the point where she has stopped trying to understand but is just trying to go along with whatever whim I have, except for me starting to ask for dinner pretty much as soon as breakfast is out of the way. She does think I need to be using more of my energy and would welcome ideas. I\u2019ve told you that I become hyper playing ball and can\u2019t relax for a couple of hours afterwards, so that\u2019s out. And I don\u2019t want to go for walks. Do any of you have any experience of dogs using a treadmill? Can we get used to a human one as they are much cheaper than the specialist dog ones. Our Mistress is seriously wondering whether it would be worth getting a treadmill for me to try. She said maybe we could start with a second hand one to see how I get on, before buying anything that was too expensive. I just don\u2019t know how easy it would be for me to get the hang of using it. I can see me being tempted to just get off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
