Wednesday 2nd September

Hi Everyone!

Great news...when I went on my walk again the stick that I left behind was there waiting for me so I was allowed to carry it again, carefully of course, so that I did not hurt myself. However I left it by the side of the path again and the next day it had gone! If I ever find out who took it I’ll have a quiet word with them. Perhaps because I’m so famous they thought they would keep it in case it might be valuable later!!!

Yesterday I had to see the nice vets again and they gave me an injection which made me go a bit sleepy. Apparently they then took some urine from me to send away to be checked just to make sure the infection I came in with has now cleared completely. I feel so much better so lets hope they don’t find anything.

Everyone now seems surprised when they see me and remark on how much my hair is growing it feels so much softer too. And there are two nice girls who take me for a special bath twice a week which I don’t like too much but I get my own back when I shake and cover them with water. It does make us all laugh!

I’ve been playing around in the field with tennis balls and have trained everyone to throw them for me and then I decide whether I take them back or not. I usually do because if not they don’t throw them for me again and that isn't a lot of fun. I feel so much stronger now and they say that I’m getting better day by day. I’m starting to have fun now something I can’t remember for a long time.

Everyone is being so kind to me and the nice people in the Shelter restaurant save me their leftover beef and chicken (and sometimes turkey) which I love!...but I do share it with my doggy family, otherwise they would not share their comfy beds with me!

I'll speak to you soon!
