Swimming<\/h2>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m trying to look on the bright side and there are perks of my current health. Yesterday after swimming our Mistress went to the pet shop and bought me a big bag of beef jerky, a big bag of cheese rolls and a big box of meat rolls. She says I can have as many as I like as long as I don\u2019t make myself ill. As if I\u2019d eat too many!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It all came about following my weekly weigh in. At the moment I\u2019m supposed to be trying to put on about three-quarters of a kilo a week. I managed it last week, but this week, despite all I ate, I only added 50g. Well if this lot of treats doesn\u2019t do it, then nothing will. I don\u2019t have to share them with the others either! How cool is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swimming<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSwimming was quite nice. Wilma came to watch. I like having her along. I did get stressed when another dog arrived, but the humans gave me lots of reassurance and made me feel safe until I relaxed a bit. The best bit is at the end though. I just love having my back and hips blow dried with the hair-dryer. I could stand there all day for that. It\u2019s a wonderful feeling on my fur. My Mistress says that by the time I\u2019ve been in the pool and then under the dryer my fur looks more like a cuddly teddy bear than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI had a potter around the garden whilst it was still sunny and then ate loads of treats as the swimming had meant I worked up an appetite. My Mistress asked me to promise I wouldn\u2019t get her up in the night, but I couldn\u2019t do that. I get her up every night, so last night was not likely to be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, thank you for all the good wishes. I really do appreciate them. I just wish I could be young again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
