Zimmer frame!

I don't quite think that I need one yet, but this morning, I had to be lifted into the car I managed to get my front legs up, but my back ones wouldn't move! I think I should mention the possibility of getting me a ramp. Just to save my blushes you understand.

The shame of it!

Oh dear, now I know that I am getting old when I have to be lifted into the back seat of the car!

Gone are the good old days, when effortless, with one short hop, I was on the back seat awaiting a nice drive, breeze through my ruff, winding down the country roads, awaiting a nice long walk with my folks. Today, I only managed 20 minutes and felt absolutely knackered.

Some young upstart raced passed me this morning, chasing his ball. Didn't give me a second glance. Yep, I thought, those were the days. Still, all the while these old bones keep me going, I am only too glad of a quick amble, nice lay down on my favorite rug, and a big hug from the old dear when I get home.

My mum's famous!

My mum always seems to be in the media these days. She has just appeared on the Ernie Almond show on BBC Three Counties radio. I thought she sounded really good, even though she did a lot of giggling! She made a bit of a gaffe too, saying that I am forever shredding in this weather. I ask you, shredding indeed. I have seen the size of that shredder, and I wouldn't want to put myself anywhere near it! I think the correct term is shedding. Think I had better take over this writing malarkey.
