Shopping in the city

We went into the city on Wednesday and stayed overnight. Cindy had to stay on the leash most of the time because our friend M’s dog doesn’t like it when Cindy tries to play with her. She’s a bit frightened of her. She’s fine if Cindy stays near me. We went shopping on Thursday. There was a little kid who followed us around a bit when we were walking around one of the shops. I tugged Cindy’s leash a bit and said “no” to keep her from getting too distracted by the kid. I don’t like doing that because it’s not her fault if there’s a little kid trying to pet her, but it seems to be the best way to deal with it. Cindy was tired after walking around the shopping centre and she was happy when we went outside to the car. She had a bit of a sleep when we were driving home.

I went to the radio station again today. We’ve been having trouble with one of the computers. We get a high pitched sound in the background of any recordings we do on it. I went back up at 1:00 today and redid some recordings on another computer. My show is on Tuesday, so I just did the recordings for that show. I’ll go back next Friday and do the recordings for next week’s show then, since I’ve already got the playlist done. I’ll do a week ahead too, if I get time. I like being ahead so I don’t have to panic if anything unexpected happens.

Cindy’s food and walking

I’m feeling a bit better today. I haven’t been coughing too much. I think the main problem now is my asthma.

I went to the shop with Mum to get Cindy’s dog food this morning. One bag of chicken flavoured food and one bag of lamb flavoured. I walked Cindy home. It was quiet for a Monday morning. There were a few people in the town square, though, mostly at the tables in front of the bakery. That’s always a popular spot. Cindy wasn’t too bad. We passed a lady walking a dog and Cindy walked past without too much trouble. That was when we were nearly home, and she was eager to get home so that was probably why she didn’t worry too much about the other dog. I also didn’t have to use any treats to get Cindy to get up when she was lying down! That’s great that she was behaving herself and we could have a relaxing walk.

Sick Days

I’ve been a bit sick since Thursday night. I was well enough to go to the radio station on Friday morning. I’m glad I didn’t have any more recording to do, because I don’t think I would have sounded very good. A lot of people around here seem to be sick. Most people seem to get over it pretty easily, so hopefully it’ll be the same for me.

Our toaster broke this morning, so we drove to the shop to get a new one with Cindy. She wasn’t too bad. She doesn’t like going anywhere in our big car for some reason, so I had to bribe her to get her to hop in. I don’t think going for a walk today would be a great idea for me, so I’m going to have to make sure Cindy gets a big play this afternoon.

The circus and the library

The circus is in town. I won’t be taking Cindy there. She’d want to talk to the animals and might distract them. I won’t be going myself because I tend to get sick when I go to things like that. Mum said they have three lions there, which would be interesting to see. Cindy has a bit of a sniff every time we walk past, so she must be able to smell the animals.

I spent a bit of time at the library today. Mum and my sister had some shopping to do and I didn’t feel like walking around. Cindy wasn’t very happy when she had to get up so we could go home. She wouldn’t get up until I showed her a treat, and she sighed a bit when she did get up. She must have been enjoying having a rest and looking at what everyone else was doing. She’s been outside for most of today because we had visitors and of course she had to be where they were so she could keep an eye on them. :)

Friday and today

I went to the radio station again on Friday. I did mostly the same as I did last time. We’re going to do more recording next time. I went to the library as well after I was finished there, and I think that might have been too much for Cindy. She was very happy when we started walking home.

J brought her boys around today. The little one is a bit scared of Cindy when she’s not lying down. I let her say hello to them and then put her upstairs. I might let her downstairs again later if she’s good. She’s had a big play this morning, so I don’t think she’ll be too energetic and jump up on anyone.
