Hi, yipppeeee it's cloudy this morning with a forecast of drizzle (hmmm I think not) and then clearing later. It is forecast to rain from Tuesday to Thursday with the chance of some heavy falls from Wednesday, but I have to say I'll believe it when I see it! I really hope it does for the garden's sake but also so I can do lots of things inside. I need to dust and vacuum desperately.. I'm glad you can't see the dust on all the surfaces!!! They joys of the country side and a non-domestic goddess, giggle!
It was so lovely getting into our bed last night. It is so comfy! There really is nothing like home. I don't sleep very well in other beds but I am going to do my best to retrain my brain before we go away because we will be in loads of different ones and I NEED to be able to sleep well. I'm always amazed by people who can operation on less than 7 hours sleep. John needs around 6-6.5 whilst I need 8-9 hours to feel human during the day.
Chester was good in the kennels and was very sociable with the other dogs which is really lovely. We have noticed a real difference in his mood since he's been home. The medication is building up in his system and the vet said (I phoned to check this am) that a change in mood is really normal and to be expected. Crikey, he is no longer the bright, happy, joyful, rambunctious young dog we know and love (even though he drove us a little crazy at times). He's depressed and when I walked him this morning his head was hanging down, as was his tail. It's SO sad to see him like this and just not fair. He was still a bit beligerent when it came to pulling to smell things but in a stubborn, grumpy way, not a happy way. We can only hope once his system builds up a tolerance to the drug he will go back to being himself. I think he could also be missing his doggy friends too - maybe I should try running around the floor on all floors with a ball in my mouth. GIGGLE now there's a good mental image.
I am off out to the paddock with my hedge shears to cut the long grass away from around some of our young trees. I've been waiting for a cloudy day to do it so this is it. I'm off to the doctor just to get something checked early this pm too.
John hasn't given me the photographs of the weekend yet but when he does I'll post them. Smiles..
