Mommy was sick today

I worry about mommy sometimes, she does not take good care of herself.  Today she was sick all day and just slept most of the day.  I stayed with her, cuddled next to her in bed.  Kept her warm as she suffered through her fever and chills.  When she got up to get something to drink I went with her.  I was so well behaved today.  I did not bother her, or beg her to walk me.  she did however throw some treats to the top of the stairs and have me run after them.  She created this game and I love it.  I also get a great workout, she only does it to give me cardio and the vet said it was a great way to strengthen my muscles.

The vet also said for a ten year old lab I am very fit.  Mommy wants to keep me around as long as possible, I heard her tell the vet this, the vet encouraged her to continue to the game and keep me fit and active.  Mommy wanted to walk me, I could see it in her eyes.  She has this sad look sometimes that I can read, today I did not take advantage of it.  I understood she was sick and I did not hound her.  Heeee, hound, I love the pun but anyway mommy is doing better tonight.  She had some dinner and fed me, she never forgets to feed me or to take care of me no matter how sick she is.  We had a pretty boring day but I enjoyed having her with me all day today, that was my treat.  I even behaved in bed while she slept, no kicking or jerking.

She will more than likely go to bed early tonight, I do not mind.  I at least got to play some and she will cuddle with me again, she is so warm.  I hope I am as warm for her as she is for me.  I am pretty sure of it, I have fur, she does not.  I am just hoping she takes me somewhere again on Sunday, I love these outings, maybe I can go for another swim or hike.  That would be nice.

I will have to let her think it is her idea and not mine, I am sure I can con her into something.

I have this way too.  I was blessed with sad puppy dog eyes.  I can look very miserable if I want to and I pull that old trick all the time.  

Alas I did not pull that trick today, instead I was well behaved and took care of my master.  After all that is the least I can do as she takes good care of me.
