Hi. I can't find your address. It's around here... somewhere... :/ But could you PM it to me again please when you have a minute. Thanks. x

Gutted.

Hi, Pip. How you doodling? Haven't heard anything from you for a while, so just checking that you're okay and everyone's okay. My love to you, Ryan and the fuzzbutts. xx

Wheelchair, I got quoted about £400 for a walkin-wheels one, which is the one I really want. I'm going to order one soon, I just need to double and triple check that I measured her properly because the last thing I want is to have a big faff around with it being the wrong size and stuff. It's a lot of money, but... what can you do, if she needs it she needs it.

I was worried about the the thought of putting her in one at first, but the more videos I see of these dogs using them, the more I want one. I can't wait for her to go for a proper walk with us again.

I know exactly what you mean about Monkey, and you have my sincere heartfelt sympathies. I wish that I could think of something to help you. Are you still in contact with the behaviourist that saw him? Have you told her that he's not improving/getting worse?

Thanks, Pip. If we don't speak again before the weekend, have a great time with your parents. xxx

She's been okay today, wanting to go out as usual. She's just been out with me and Frankie, she was determined to come along. She did well. We were walking dead slow for her, but she was trying to speed us up most of the way 'round. Bless her, she's a git! She pooped in the car on the way, as usual, to poor Frankie's horror! You should see his face when she does it, he's hilarious.

Will he eat when he's scared? Maybe if you took with you some fresh cooked chicken breast or tripe sticks or bacon or something stinky and irrisistible like that, and every time you hear a jet coming give him one. Obviously that won't work if he won't eat. Frankie wouldn't before, and everyone always used to say about using food rewards and bribes but I'd be like, shaddup, he's not in the slightest bit interested in anything at all when he's in that state and nothing will get through to him and that's that. So if that's the case, I apologise for bringing it up.

Aub's okay. Looking into getting Tara a wheelchair. She actually refused a walk for the first time in her life tonight. That's not good.

I made a little video of the doggies, but I can't share it because of the copyright on the song, lol! That's such a shame. Will have to cut it a bit and try again another time. Silly me.

I don't play the lottery either btw, lol.

thanks, pip, see ya later. x

oh, hiya. Glad you had a nice weekend. Really sorry about the plane situation with Monkey, that's crap. Are you still using the CD to try and get him to associate the sound with something good happening? I suppose it doesn't really compare to the real thing flying over his head. That's enough to scare the crap out of anyone! We get jets over us all the time at work too, near the army base, noisy buggers. Sometimes they're low enough for the pilot to read your lips when you're telling him to eff right off. lol.

tbc...

Hi, you. Tara's not doing too good, very wobbly, some days worse than others. I'm hoping to get her to the seaside next week for a special normal peaceful plod, spend some quality time with her while Frank thinks I'm at work. We'll see. Fingers crossed.

Aub I was worried about because I found a lump on his sheath. But yeah, it's gone down some. I'm more worried about one of the other horses now, she has breathing difficulties and when it's high-pollen time like now she is really, really bad. She's on meds but they hardly help when she's like she is now, it's awful. You think she should probably be put to sleep when she's like that, but then the next day she could be perfectly okay again if the pollen's not so bad. Ugh, it's crap. Poor Astrid.

Wiz is getting skinny, so he'll be back at vets soon, but everyone else is good thanks.

How are you guys doing? Making any progress with Monkey yet? xx

You're a good doggy mum.

We're doing okay thanks. Cats are certainly enjoying the nice weather. Aubrey's back to normal, bless him. Tara's a big worry, but we're taking it one day at a time.

I'm glad you're happy with the behaviourist. They cost so much money that it's just crap when they go away and you feel no better for their visit.

Hope everyone else is good. x
