Well as Wilma gets ready to head for the Embassy I\u2019m holding the fort here for the day. Yesterday she decided that the best approach to her preparations was to spend the day in bed. I take much the same approach every day but it\u2019s unusual for Wilma. She doesn\u2019t seem to be going down with anything so I think she was just comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it was Tuesday, I went swimming. I was in one of those cuddly moods. You know the sort of day when you could just be snuggled all 24 hours without any need to be separate from the cuddle? Anyway, while we were waiting for my swim our Mistress sat on the floor with me and I sat on her knee to get as close as I possibly could. I also really enjoyed being blown dry with the hairdryer at the end. It\u2019s lovely having all that warm air blown into your fur. It really made me smile. I did wonder if our Mistress might like to try it with the hairdryer at home every so often. I could argue that the warm air does me good on medical grounds, but the truth is I just love the way it makes me feel. It\u2019s almost as good as having my bottom scratched and that really is saying something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the hardest things about my canine cognitive dysfunction on my good days is that I tend not to sleep all that well at night. It\u2019s not so bad for me as I just catch up during the day, but our Mistress has explained that having me pacing up and down at the side of the bed is stopping her sleeping. She really doesn\u2019t want me to have to sleep downstairs, but she has said that she may have to do that even if it is only one or two nights in the week as she really needs some sleep. I don\u2019t really know what I can do about it. She\u2019s reading a book about it at the moment but hasn\u2019t got on to the practical advice sections yet. Hopefully she will find some practical suggestions. Setting up my den has been delayed as her first plan didn\u2019t work, she\u2019s trying to find a different way to do it, but that will only help during the daytimes when I have bad days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, Wilma will be here tomorrow to tell you all about her trip, so I get a nice long weekend off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you soon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
