I am getting very tired...
and this heat is making me Very sleepy. And my legs all hurt, and my eyes don't work too well either. I can't stand up very well, and if I'm on a slippery floor, I can't stand up at all.
And because I can't find my way outside, (or sometimes when I wake up and can't walk very well), I've been making messes. I don't mean to. But it happens.
And if I stay outside all the time, the flies start biting me SO MUCH. I've got a big patch on my nose where they bit me SO HARD that I got a sore! Mum and Thumbdude don't like me being outside now, so they have me inside in the cooooool.
So I'm spending all my time on a beanbag or a nice soft cushion, and getting lots of cuddles and love from reynardo (Mum) and lederhosen (Thumbdude), and even Petting Lady came over and gave me cuddles and love. da_norvegicus (WalkBoi) gave me scritchels behind my ear. And everyone is giving me LOTS of EAR-RUBS and CUDDLES.
And now Thumbdude and Mum are telling me what a GOOD DOG I am, and how BRAVE I am, and how, tomorrow, they're going to stop my legs aching and being wobbly, and they're going to hold me and cuddle me and tell me how much they love me, and then WalkBoi and Mum and Thumbdude are going to take me to the VET where there's SMELLS, and they're going to ask the vet to stop me feeling sick and hurting all the time.
I love them very much, and I'll give them lots of licks and snuffles, but I wish I could tell them how much I appreciate the bacon and the soft beanbag and the cuddles and the pats, and all the walks I had before I got too stiff and sore, and all the bits of cheese they left down low where I could get them, and the chocolate Mum kept leaving in her bag. I loved chasing ducks and barking at cats, and getting out of the garden and finding where people hid their chickens.
And I wish I could tell them that I'll be very glad when all the pain and sickness has gone.
Note from reynardo. After a long and very varied life, dogorcuton is going to the vet tomorrow morning. We're all very sad about it, but he's really not well at all any more, and he's not going to get better. His kidneys are starting to go, and his arthritis makes him very unsteady on his feet.
Please give your pets a special hug, and tell them how much you love them. It's the best thing we can do for them.
