Getting out

Woohoo! It's walkies time again. Mum has started taking me out again. She is keeping me on the lead but at least I am out in the world full of wonderful smells. The first little walk down the road was a slow one as I HAD to sniff every patch of grass and every bush in case a doggy friend had pee'd there. It was lovely to get out in the sun again even if it was a slow plod. Not sure Mum was walking slowly for my benefit or hers! My leg did ache after, but I had a nice snooze in the warm sun on my day bed and I felt a lot better.

Mum took me down to Baiter yesterday and Sunday and it was great being there and seeing a few of my doggy friends again. So many smells to catch up on too. I dragged Mum around all the bushes and trees :o)

I did my best to wee everywhere so they all know I'm back :oP

Oh guess what?? I managed to get up on Mum's bed yesterday for the first time in months. It was so comfy I was fast asleep when she came home from shopping and she caught me napping! She did cheat though as she parked on the road to fiddle with her car instead of driving it up onto our driveway. I didn't hear the car stop and the first I knew was the front door banging shut and Mum calling me. I think she heard the thump when I dropped off the bed, but she was laughing at me as I came downstairs so I don't think she minded me borrowing her bed.
I did have a nasty encounter Friday. Mum had been out and came home and I was dying for a pee so asked Mum to let me out in the garden. As I stepped out of the door I saw a pesky fox slink across the garden and disappear into the bushes so, of course, I gave chase. I caught my good front leg on something and a sharp pain stopped me. I came indoors to show Mum and she was upset. My leg was ouzing a bit of blood from where my dew claw had been. It was hanging off as I came indoors and luckily it came off cleanly as I licked my leg on my bed. It stopped bleeding very quickly but Mum still took me to the vet. A very nice young lady took me out the back to have a look at my leg. She gave me a couple of injections *wimper* and took me back to Mum. It soon stopped hurting and did not bleed any more. It was fine over the weekend and didn't stop me going walkies and enjoying it.
Today Mum took me back to the vet and I saw Richard. I always get a nice hug off him but I also had more injections :o( Mum said these were protective ones to stop me getting nasty diseases and it didn't sting for long. He checked me all over too and seemed pleased with my condition.  We had a bit of a drive around on the way home, Mum said she had to go to a  hairdresser whatever that is. But it didn't take long.
Looks like afternoon nap time now, my rug and bed are waiting for me *yawn*
Bye for now *wags* ((((!))))
