Suprelorin Day 14


Arooooooo roooooooooo roooo roooo roooo rooo




So how much better can things get for me?  There are less in the way of hormonal fluctuations now, and over the past few days there have only been improvements. What's more, I am only just approaching the second week since I had the implant, and they say it will be up to six weeks before I am properly chemically castrated.





Today we went for another run with our Border Terrier friends Ted and Bruce. We had such a wonderful time.  I ran, I span, I played, I chased, and life seems so perfect. I for one am feeling so full of health and vitality. Ted and I had a great game together.  Ted's mummee Tam videoed us playing, so I am hoping that later on I will get a link so that I can share with you precisely what we did. It was so funny, and our mummee's did laugh and laugh.   I haven't played with other dogs for such a l-o-n-g time, and I can't remember the last time I actually played that particular game.   We also met quite a few other dogs, including two black Labradors who were on leashes. They lunged and shouted at us as we passed by.  Usually that would send me into a retaliation frenzy, but today I totally ignored them, and clip-clopped on by, looking up at my mummee with a happy happy face and getting lots of rewards.

Yesterday I saw a Golden Retriever. I usually go into spasms when I see those, but not any more.  Mummee called me over, and said that she had hidden the ball and I was to go and find it.  So I did. I ran straight by the Retriever, sniffed around until I found the ball and then went galloping back to mummee with it in my mouth.

As we were walking back to the car-park today, I spotted a Bulldog which started coming over towards us.  Those I still cannot get my head around. Nothing to do with hormones, but I truly think those dogs are snarling at me, so mummee kept me very close to her.  She had to work very hard to distract me, because I was convinced that dog was threatening me!  Dogs are meant to have noses, and not flat faces with teeth which stick out!!!! Nature dictates that, but it's only humans who for some strange reason think nature and evolution has got things badly wrong!  Human's are such a strange species, and the only animal on this planet who think they have a right to alter everything.   They have so much to learn from nature. Things evolve the way they have for a reason!

Finally, but not least. Mummee has had a few wobbly days with her health this week, and as we were going along, I smelt some changes going on, so I went and stood by her and pressed my head up against her.  Tam asked "are you feeling alright?"  Mummee replied that she felt fine, but I give her about 20 minutes notice of any changes, so she took an additional tablet.  Sure enough, further on into the walk she started to feel the dip, but as she had taken a tablet, it soon kicked in............... and that tablet?  Another one of those hormones which control our daily activities.  Cortisol -  which she doesn't produce naturally when needed.  So have I lost my ability to sense hormonal changes? Not at all.  In fact mummee thinks I have become even more sensitive to her needs.

Anyway, it's dinner time now, so I am off to enjoy my grub.

See you later.
