Day 1000

Before Christmas my human disappeared for three days. When she came back she was carried to the sofa on the lower ground floor and a lot of people came in with her and didn’t leave her alone until the evening. Then I could go and speak to her. She couldn’t move and I had to go right up to her to get her to speak to me and stroke me. I slept on the chair by her bed. She left the fire on all night so it was nice and warm. She couldn’t walk so I went and lay on her legs to make them better.

This went on for a long time. She couldn’t play with me or brush me or let me out. She walked about on sticks. She never left the house. People came to feed her and me and the birds in the garden. I was on duty all the time. I kept her company and slept on her bed and woke her up in the morning and checked she was ok during the night. All that was fine but when she did start to get better she got this man to come and see me and give me ‘vaccinations’. I was fed up – after all I had done for her! I am sulking.
