Mum says Ari was working hard in his swimming lesson yesterday. It was his third session at his new hydrotherapy and he\u2019s settled in a little now. It\u2019s a smaller pool, but he doesn\u2019t mind that too much as he\u2019s at the end near Mum more often that way. He is still as bad about getting into the pool to begin with, but once he\u2019s in he\u2019s happier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum says his most annoying habit is using whatever she is wearing to dry himself on before she can get to him with his towel. She comes out looking as though she has been through the shower, rather than just Ari. It could be very annoying when the weather is cold. He used to like the blow dry he had at his last place and says he misses that most. He was very fond of his old hydrotherapist too, but he\u2019s getting used to his new one slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s my turn to be off to the vet today. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m fit as a fiddle or at least I hope I am. I need my regular heart scan to make sure nothing has changed and my annual vaccinations. This is where it takes the whole vet staff to pin my down so they can administer my kennel cough. I know I ought to cooperate, but I\u2019m really not a good patient at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s good to know Mum will be sitting outside waiting for me. I like to know she isn\u2019t far away. I\u2019d rather she was there to hold my paw, but it\u2019s the next best thing. Hopefully, once I come out she will shower me with love and lots of treats. As it is I will have to go without lunch, just in case I need any sedation. It also means I have to stay indoors this afternoon so I don\u2019t eat the apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think the thing which worries me most is that Mum is going to weigh me to see if I have lost any weight on my diet. I do hope I have as I can\u2019t face even more drastic measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
