A fruitful week

So far so good this week.  First I found a lovely mini football in the bushes on Monday morning.  Always a pleasure to find a ball of this size as it is so easy to carry home.

Then on Tuesday I found a tennis ball (yes, ANOTHER ONE!).  Then today, there it was waiting for me - a huge lovely football, with exactly the right amount of air gone out of it so I could squash it slightly and carry it home myself.

I am so pleased!
AND.... it's only Thursday!  I wonder what I might find tomorrow?

All clear from the Vets!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I havent been in touch for a little while.  I have been visiting the vets every couple of weeks whilst my ex-lump has been checked up on. All is well and my fur is growing back well - a bit itchy mind!

The removed lump was just a fatty thing, so no worries there either.

Today I am enjoying sitting out a pleasantly warm afternoon.....

..... I was also enjoying a sneaky snooze - until mum pointed the camera up my nose anyway!

Enjoy your summer holidays all. xx

Hello all,
Thank you for all your kind words whilst I have been poorly. I am feeling much better now. My stitches will come out in another week.
Meanwhile, I have been helping mum and dad to get more cardboard into the compost to balance out all the grass.
This involves ripping up cardboard boxes into small pieces - hardly a chore for someone who likes to run round shredding things!!
I am glad to help.

Me minus the lumps (well 2 of them anyway)....

Hi all,
It's worse than it looks (so they tell me).  A zip on the right hand side, one under my chin and two shaved front legs from injections and a drip during and after the operation.
I certainly look, and feel, like I've been in the wars.
Mum and dad stayed up with me last night and I think they might tonight too if I need them.

Anyway, no fear, mum to the rescue with another invalidity jacket home made especially to not rub my neck but cover my side zip so I cant scratch it easily.

I hope not to be wearing this for too long.  Don't worry, I have two of them so they can be swapped and washed daily if I dribble too much!

My ensemble is complete with a nice drawstring tie to keep my t-shirt from dangling in any awkward places!
Thanks mum!

Me and My Lump...

Hi all, I hope you are all well. Sorry haven't been in touch, but May was very busy wasn't it? Lots of lazing in the garden and snoozing in the shade.

Anyway, I thought I'd show you my lump. It has been growing steadily, but fairly slowly over the last 6-8 months.  You can see it just above my right shoulder, almost in my armpit.  Here I am lying down to show you where it is.

After a weeks holiday at my Pet Hotel, mum and dad have realised that the lump is now growing more quickly and I believe plans are afoot to have Mr Lump removed next week!!

Now, please don't worry about me - the vet has said that, subject to a blood test to make sure I am healthy and fit enough for the operation, there should be no problems at all in removing it and making a full recovery - with another proud battle scar!!

I just thought I'd let you see a picture of how big the lump is now, to maximise on the sympathy I hope to get when I show you my stitches next weekend.

I just hope mum doesn't stick me in another of those 80's t-shirts! So embarrassing! [See post 19th June 2010.]

A beautiful weekend.

Hello readers, what a fab weekend we have had weather wise again.  Is this the advent of summer? I sure hope so.

This weekend I have been helping mum and dad with the garden.  Sorting out my footballs, checking out how snoozy the lawn is once mowed .......

........ and generally being appreciative by playing with my favorite football in the nice tidy garden, once all work has been finished!

Phew! It was a warm weekend.

Hello everyone,
I hope you had as good a weekend as we did.  Saturday was spent in the garden sunbathing whilst 'mom' did some planting.  Then on Sunday we went for a 10 mile walk around Stratford. I went in the river quite a few times to cool off as it was such a warm day.
When we stopped for a picnic, 'dad' put his hat on my head to help give some extra shade.  I think I look a cool dude - what do you think?
