Furball has been a bit unsure of himself since the op. He also has a bit of a cut/lump on his back (probably where a tick was) that we are keeping an eye on. He is still asking to go out at night but I don’t know if he would take the opportunity if offered and I don’t really want to find out. He’s not making too much of a fuss over being kept in.

Outside in the daytime, he doesn’t want to move that far from me and a routine walk is developing. We go to the bench in the field where I have a fag and he has a few Dreamies. We then have a wander round eg. the veg plot before we go further up the track in the field. Coming back is fun as he has started to wait for me to get out of sight round a corner and he then does a 40yd dash to overtake me. He may then do shorter waits and runs until we get in (when of course, he expects another small reward).

I don’t know how long this one will last but guess that he might want to explore more as he gains confidence but for now, I think it suits both of us for our own reasons.
