Selene’s diary: Mom had retired, and our lives changed forever for good. Lunch is promptly served, and we always have a cooked breakfast with multiple menu items. Then Spencer and I would sit next to mom while she eats, and we will get toast or sausage too. I love eggs too.
Our days are fun-filled. We have agility class twice and week, and I generally get to go tracking twice a week and one or 2 days of obedience practice. I am usually tired on Sundays, so all I so is go outside and bark. Since mom is home all the time, she is downstairs all the time with us. Storm sometimes come down and I will “snuggle” with him. He is a really cool cat.

As the weather got cooler, we sit outside with Sophie a lot in the afternoons, while mom knits. She also spend a lot of time walking Sophie. I am really scared of Sophie in her wheelchair and I do not know why she cannot run around like us anymore. But she still barks like one of us.

Thanksgiving, Christmas came and gone. We had lots of good food. The weather was getting colder. I competed in 2 agility trials, and both of my hind legs had a crack on my foot. It hurts when I have to walk or run. So I rested a lot at home. Sophie also had an infection and did not feel well. She lost her appetite which was good for me and Spencer. We got lots of leftovers. Mom would cook something else or Sophie and if she does not finish, we got to clean it up. But that was short-lived. Sophie went to the vet and a couple weeks later, her appetite came back.
Then in the beginning of February I had another crack on my paw, this time my front leg. This time it really hurts, I limp a lot and mom put ointment on and made me wear a bottle during the day. I tried to take it off but it actually feels pretty good when I had it on. My foot did not hurt that bad. So I was on house rest again. Sigh.
