Wanting to play
Yesterday I found myself wanting to play for the first time in as long as I can remember. I have been on Aktivait for a little over a week and I’m wondering if it’s already making a difference. It’s funny, when you’ve been feeling down for as long I seem to have done, finding yourself suddenly feeling happy is a very special feeling. Mum got very excited about it and, of course, encouraged me. I’m nowhere near the point where I want to spend time with Pebbles, but it’s a start.
Mind you, I did forget myself and try taking the stairs two at a time. That didn’t go well!
On the downside
On the downside, both Dad and Mum have gone down with Covid. It means we have had to cancel all our plans for the next week or so and are doing our best to be understanding of their needs. Actually, I’m doing my best – Pebble is just Pebbles. With the weather being good Mum is spending as much time as she can sitting outside in the shade so that Pebbles can still get lots of exercise. We are very lucky having the orchard as there is plenty of shade we can play in, even on a hot day.
Strange
It is strange having Mum sitting down for as much time as this. Usually she’s busy gardening and we check in with her from time to time. Now as she’s sitting down we can sit snuggled up to her. Even Pebbles is enjoying doing that a little bit more – although it usually involves Mum being ‘tapped’ with a claw first and ending up with a bit bruise down her arm. I guess she might learn to be a bit more gentle as she gets older, but we’re a long way from that at the moment.
Love and licks
