A little update on William

All is well with William, but a little update nonetheless ....

Yesterday morning, Thursday 24th March, William didn't seem to be himself.  Something was 'off' with him, his balance for one and he seemed to walk slightly crooked, holding his head to one side :((      Yes, we think he had suffered a minor stroke during the night.   We kept him quiet for a couple of hours and let him decide when he wanted to move....which in true William style he did.  

The video below (click the image for it) will show you how well he has done in just a couple, or three, hours.  


Update to today, Friday 25th March, and William looked himself again.  He has been demanding breakfast, pressies, and gone for his walk, and his love of going upstairs onto the balcony for his drink of water - a bowl placed especially for him and refreshed with cold water on demand, of course

Yes, he is a little wobbly, but that's to be expected considering his arthritis - oh how his meds help.

At 14½ years, he is doing remarkably well and we are grateful for every day...they are all a bonus.

Aww poor William. He's a real trooper and he's doing remarkably well for his age.
Please give him the biggest and gentlest of hugs from me xx

I can see the hitch in his giddy up, as my Grandpa useta say. William is in the best of hands, and we know you will always do what's best for him. Give him a hug from me too, please, Ann.
