Vet Visit

I was taken yesterday to visit my local vet for my annual booster. Regrettably my two legged did not tell me why or where we were going , probably as it would have given me time to abscond before being taken, however it then made me dread getting in the car even though the visit was short and reasonably painless but as always not one I wish to replicate regularly. Anyway when I returned I met a fellow in the car park who was a bit hobbly.

Anyway after a brief discussion our conversation soon got onto health and he explained that every day he was given, when his two legged remembered, a squirt of metacalm. It did not taste nice but seemed to ease his joints and therefore the pain was worthwhile. I was then able to make a suggestion of a solution on several fronts and prompted my two legged to highlight these to my new friends master. Having taken drugs for my creaking joints before | have been recommended to move my diet to another source and thus killing tow birds with one stone- First I get a better joints and secondly I get another meal!! Life cannot be too bad and now J/D Dog Food is a staple part of my day. Whilst two leggeds often forget to administer medicine- especially as we neglect to remind them, I never let them forget my dinner and am always intent on reminding them!!

Watercress misunderstanding

Today I managed to persuade my two leggeds to take me out for a walk in the sunshine after an initial lack of enthusiasm they seemed to start enjoying the experience and clearly their training is going well and one remembered to pick up a selection of sticks so by the time we reached the pier there was sufficient ammunition for me to jump and dive off the end. It had been quite a warm day so this provided a bit of refreshment and an ideal pause for them to catch their breath.

We then moved on through the golf course and I had the chance to run and roll and by the time we reached the 4th Green I was again quite warm but the smells and scents had kept me busy. Then I noticed one  of the two leggeds bending down with a plastic bag by the pond. keen not to be left out and deciding to kill tow birds with one stone and cool down I launched myself into the pond. maybe I should have looked where I was leaping, maybe I should have checked before I dived but apparently my actions caused disaster. how was I to know that by jumping from a height I would displace water and soak the kneeling two legged and how was I supposed to know that he was trying to pick watercress for dinner and that my actions slightly muddied the water and certainly displaced his crop.

Taking a bit of fright I quickly exited from the pond by the furthest bank and headed off in search of more smells, pretending I could not hear because of water in my ears was the only form of defence and time I thought i could use. Next time I will check before jumping- I think!
