It seems that my being ill has taken it out of me even more than I\u2019d realised. I did enjoy swimming and wanted to do a few lengths, but they really were the slowest lengths I\u2019ve ever swum and I needed quite long rests between them. I was absolutely exhausted by the end of it. Not so exhausted that it stopped me barking and whining quite a bit in the afternoon, but exhausted enough to realise I\u2019m not at full fitness. The scary bit at my age is wondering if you\u2019ll ever be fit again or whether this is it now and all I can expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Mistress was happy when her new phone arrived, but rather less so when she spent several hours trying to get it all up and running. What is it with humans? If you\u2019d just learn to shout as loudly as we can you could probably make do without a phone at all. Although, I am repeatedly being told that maybe it would be better if I didn\u2019t shout so loudly as humans don\u2019t always appreciate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I shall be mostly twiddling my paws and resting. I do have a vet visit, but other than that I\u2019m free all day. Wilma on the other paw has gone out for coffee! Yes, really. It turns out that the coffee shop our Mistress is going to allows dogs to go too so Wilma has gone for a girls\u2019 coffee. Shadow is not too thrilled to be left out and pointed out she was a girl too. Our Mistress\u2019s response was that Shadow is quite bouncy enough without adding any coffee to the mix! I might try to cheer her up by suggesting we could sit down together and write our letters to Santa Paws. I know I may be leaving it a little late, but it\u2019s always so hard to know what to ask for. He didn\u2019t manage world peace when I asked for it last year, so I thought I might set my sights a little lower this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
