Needy little Collie pup

My human still isn't feeling 100% so I've been trying to support her the best I can. Normally when I'm in the house I just snooze in my little bed, but for the last few days, when Ann has been sitting on the sofa, I go and sit on the floor right next to her and snuggle into her legs because I know I'm not allowed on the sofa. I'm trying my hardest to be a sympathetic, reassuring little Collie pup so I keep nudging her, so that she strokes me, because I know that stroking animals is therapeutic. She strokes me for a bit and then she just says, 'Trixie, stop being so needy. Go and lie in your bed'.


This morning she made a big effort and took me through Midmar Paddock & the Hermitage (and I found this rather lovely stick) but that totally exhausted her, so she wasn't fit to do anything this afternoon. She was supposed to be going to a 'baby shower' but cancelled it because she didn't think it was a good idea to breathe germs all over the expectant mother?!!


She didn't have any energy to take me for an afternoon walk either, so she just popped me into the car and took me to the park so that I could run after my ball.


She's just given me my dinner (which I gobbled up in super speedy time) and is now sitting at the breakfast bar so that she can use the laptop and help me with my Blip...........  when along I came and put my paws up on her legs. Ann said, 'Trixie stop being so needy. You can have a carrot.' Ann bought me a whole bag of carrots a couple of days ago but she forgot about them until now. I don't think I'm being needy. I think I'm being supportive. Obviously Ann doesn't think so, so I've gone into my bed for a snooze.

Oh and in other news........................... does any other human get nose bleeds when they blow their nose a lot? My human always gets nose bleeds when she has a cold and is blowing her nose a lot. However, she mentioned it to a couple of friends yesterday and they seemed to think it was a bit odd?! #justwondering
