<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOddly, Shadow is even more bouncy than normal. Even checked the calendar to make sure it wasn\u2019t spring and it really isn\u2019t. She is certainly full of the joys of something, even though she\u2019s starting to go quite grey around her muzzle. I have to say, that I never imagined my mum could look so distinguished, but she\u2019s kept the trim figure she worked so hard to achieve and if she stays still long enough she does look rather dignified. It\u2019s just that at the moment she is not staying still very much at all, but seems to spend half her life with all four paws off the ground as she bounces from place to place Tigger style. I don\u2019t actually know where she gets her energy from. Even walking from place to place her tail doesn\u2019t stop wagging. Now I\u2019m a happy dog, but there are limits. I prefer to keep being happy under at least some degree of control, but I\u2019ll swear that Shadow has been at the happy roots in the garden. I\u2019m just not sure which plant I should be trying if I want to emulate her behaviour. There are some odd mushrooms growing in the grass, but I really don\u2019t think I should be trying any of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
