The last week

Now my leg really hurts!
We all eat our meals down there, and Richie sleeps in the basement with me now too. Of course I can still go out through my special door to do my business, but I try to hold it for as long as I can, so that I don't have to get up as much. Aside from getting peanut butter now four times a day, this kinda sucks.

Still doing Buddy things
Well, my leg still hurts. But it's still a pandemic, so not much has changed around here. I still walk a bit when I'm not too limpy, but typically it is just around the block, and only once a day now. I'm happy to tell you that I have been getting a regular course of peanut butter three times a day, and still getting my milk after breakfast. For some reason, that makes my wrist feel better.
I still have to get help going down stairs using the harness thingy, but I don't mind now, and I kinda am getting used to it. The weather has been pretty good, so now we are all hanging outside on the grass. Well, I'm on the grass, while they sit on their chairs on the patio.Now here's a fine mess. Christine and Richie went off this afternoon to play cornhole (like they do down at the cabin). So while they were gone, I decided to see what is in the little room downstairs. It turns out that there is a trash bin there, and I found a great thing in there to bring outside and shred apart! The fun was short-lived, as I made quick work of that envelope. But you can see from the photo above that my leg still hurts; most times now, I try not to put much weight on it.

Still no stairs for me
Remember when I was telling you about the harness thingy that I have to wear when I'm going downstairs? I forgot to tell you that there are also gates to prevent me from going up the stairs! Yep, I guess they figure that if I go up them, I might try to go down them on my own, so they have blocked access at the bottom of my patio, and as well on the inside basement stairs.
"I didn't want to go up the stupid stairs anyways." |
I do still like to watch out over my domain - my backyard, my oasis. This is the place that gives me the most comfort... having a home to call my own. That's why I always want to come back here so much after a neighbourhood walk, or a weekend away at the cabin - this is my place.

Just hangin' out
Christine especially likes sitting out with me when it is sunny like this, as she doesn't like the cold weather, certainly not like us Berners! She has also been working in her garden, and her flowers are starting to bloom; probably time for me to start mowing down on them, I guess.
Oh, and I guess it is my Nana's birthday today, so Richie put this silly bow on my head! They say that I am the best present ever!

New procedure for going down the stairs
Anyhow, it isn't so bad, and I can actually get through my special door on my own, even with my harness on. Richie usually shouts at me, "WAIT!" but I don't, and rush out the door on my own. My leg still hurts, but aside from the harness thingy, it's pretty much the same routine around here though.
