I had Marjorie write up my first day because I was sooooo exhausted but now I have my own byline so I can do my own blog.

Boy, was it an early start this morning. 6 a.m. and we were all off and running. But I really enjoyed my walk. Lots of interesting smells and stuff. Then by 9 a.m. Sylvia was in the kitchen making scrambled egg for breakfast. Oh goody, I thought. But then they brought my breakfast; skim milk and Weetabix. Still I was hungry enough to scoff the lot.

Then it was time for a mid-morning nap. I'm good at that. At mid-day all sorts of things happened. Some people came to look at the kennel with a small hairy dog which they carried most of the time. Wonder if it's another patient. Then I could hear all sorts of splashing in the pool. And then some more people came to collect their doggie. He was still wet from his swim. Then I went off for another walk.

I was just about to settle down for my mid-afternoon nap when, yep, you've guessed it, they came and got me and it was my time to get in the pool. I made it very clear that I wasn't took keen on that large expanse of blue water but to no avail. In I went. I wasn't really sure what to do so kept swimming the side and this guy kept guiding me back out to the middle of the pool. Phew, I was only in for about 5 minutes but I'm sure they will have me back out there. They're really keen on exercise this lot. Some of the doggie guests here really like it.

I was too bushed for my lunch.

Then mid-afternoon it was off for another half-hour walk. They sure keep us busy here. I was almost too tired to eat my dinner. I know, I know, Mom won't believe it. It was a huge bowl of food. I'm not sure if it is the biggest bowl of food I have ever seen but it was up there. And do you know what, it was too much; even for me! I don't know if it is all the exercise I've had today or that I had a big breakfast but yes, I left some!!

Have now had my evening walk and everyone is getting ready for bed so time. It's lights off so time for me to sign off. Will let you know how I get on tomorrow.
