Day 4

February 2026

Lydia and I had a good walk this morning, a muddy circuit. She paddled through muddy puddles while I skirted round. Tonight though, her feet and legs are all clean. She cleans herself over the course of the day. I heard that not a lot of dogs do this, but she does.

After getting a haircut I went to visit my friend who lives in a care home. I’d forgotten my glasses but managed to read one story from the magazine I’d taken with me before my eyes became too blurry.
