The Adventures of Cato, Tara and Jasmine

Take care of that injury........I had a ruptured achilles tendon and it took YEARS to stop bothering me.

 

So sorry to hear of your injury, best get well sighed to you both. 

Can't believe a year has already passed...Guess time does fly when your having fun and your blogs are definitely fun

Your prescription is to rest......and rest and rest some more........Mr. C is much like my husband.....he continues to work regardless. Hope you both get to feeling better SOON.........Cato and Tara be patient for a bit longer and you will be back to your walks......so hard for them to understand when  a routine comes to a halt.......

Oh no so sorry to hear about your injury and hubbys cold, please take care and get to feeling much better real soon. Hugs to all. Ahhh and congratulations, I can't believe it's been a year you've been blogging, what a fun years it's been! 

Thanks All!  I will pass your well wishes on to the restless mutts.  We spend most of the evening on the living room floor wrestling, toy throwing and playing tug'o'sausages.  Poor Cato gets tired twice as quickly as Tara, and then she tries to continue the game by biting and pulling on his tail!  I have to distract her at that point.

And we are having to tie her to the desk or me, during a lot of the rest of the time, or she just goes outside into the garden and barks.  All that suppressed BOUNCE.

The Achilles tendon is an old injury from my sporty school days.  Quite surprised it has flared up again, to be honest, but I'm treating it MUCH better than I did back in the day, because I have actually informed myself (thank you Mr Google), so I know how not to aggravate it this time.   Have even bought myself a folding walking stick (can't see any potential problems with the mutts and the stick, can you? ).  The pain usually starts half way through the walk, so now I am equipped!  I will just whip out the stick and hobble back to the car.  Weather permitting we will go on a little trundle today.

Oh, and we are planning a visit down to Grandma and Grandad's on Sunday-Monday, leaving Dad here working.  So that will give them 5 days of entertainment with explorations of his garden, the bird feeders, the boating lake, and possibly new places and people!!! - and showing off for grandparents, won't it?  The only reason we won't go, are blizzard conditions or me catching Dad's cold.

Well, we just got back from our first walk in 4 days!

Ooooh the sniffing!  Ooooh the widdling!  Ooooh the rugby tackling and BOUNCING and clambering and bumping, rolling and charging!

I forgot both my walking stick AND the camera, so we have no pics to commemorate this event, but I can tell you both beasties and I feel much better.  Unfortunately, Dad is worse today than yesterday, but is still insisting on going to work. 

They are all 3 watching snooker now, while I plug back into my work. 

Take care all of you, glad the paws got a bit of a bounce before the weather turned nasty.

Sorry to hear you're both not well. Hope Cato and Tara are looking after you both. Don't overdo it on the walks Mrs C...
