He behaved as well as a dog his age should on our walk this afternoon. Sat and stayed while other dogs walked past. true he was on his lead but normally he would still pull. I think our conversation this morning has sunk in.
I did try to explain about my own heart. I had rheumatic fever as a young child. nearly died. spent 4 months in hospital aged 3. Well, a legacy of that illness is that it can scar the walls of the chambers of the heart. that and weaken some joints. in my case ankles.
When I went to join the Army aged 16 they first rejected me. Then they sent me for an ECG. Finally I was accepted because I was joining an Admin department.
I have had the odd heart problem all my life. I can tell you from first hand that when a girl dumps you it not only feels like you are going to die, in my case I might have.
Been having the odd pain in my chest recently. whether from emotions due to former girlfriends, my wife's condition or deterioration of the organ due to age and life-style I can't be sure. Probably a bit of everything.
Pluto is my exercise machine. he gets me out. makes me get up. I hope he lives another 12 to 14 years. I will try to be here for all of them.
Took a few pics. Quite busy down Bradney this afternoon. Lots of dog walkers.
