We went to Cubbon Park on Saturday with Echo. Now that we have three beings who need attention at home, Echo gets the least. So we made plans to go for a walk only with him like last year – WN 13/2024. He had lots of fun. We need to do this often.

Temperatures have been quite low in Bengaluru this week, and Echo feels cold. 2

Echo is finally doing well, though winter is not great for him. He is active, eating and sleeping well. Though his urinary problems continue, they do not threaten his day-to-day activities.
