A sick Girl!

OUR GIRL IS SICK!

Last weekend she was off her food, then she stopped going to the toilet.

By Tuesday morning we knew something was wrong,

rang the vet and got an urgent appointment.

Thank goodness for Chris, 

she dropped everything and took our little darling

to see John the Vet.

Turned out to be an obstruction in her bowel,

or so John thought!

 He hoped he could  help her to pass whatever was causing the trouble,

but by Thursday it hadn't come, so he operated.

It turned out not to be in the bowel at all.

There is a large mass on her kidney, that is pressing on her small intestine.

Now we have to wait for the results of the biopsy.

It is good to have her home again.

I don't think we realise how much we love our dogs

until something bad happens.

Until next time ----- hug your dog!! 

Remember Me?

Someone in our house is not happy!

Even though she has a smile on her face

she lets us all know that girls should not have to suffer the indignities of a bucket head.

The trouble is , like many dogs, she is allergic to "Wandering Jew".

Even injections and pills don't stop the itch, so she has to wear the collar.

Being our smart little darling, she has worked out that if she pushes her head under my table, then reverses, she can pull it off.

She has the most amazing balance

and can sit on her solid little bottom for ages.

she will put herself anywhere to get a tickle.

Indie is always a softie, a pat on the face always works wonders.

Her mum always has time for a tummy tickle

and then a neck cuddle.

She looks like a long suffering angel,

but she is Top Dog, 

and bosses Midnight around unmercifully.

Its only when she pinches his bones that he minds.

Until next time --- tickle a fluffy tummy!!
