The results from yesterday at the dental clinic: I have bleeding gums and holes of various sizes in my left teeth. I have an appointment for the 19th and in the meantime need to softly brush and floss ( Read more... )

Theo seems to have some problems pooing.

I noticed this morning that his stools weren't dropping to the ground, and they seem to have become dags instead. It's been getting progressively worse all day and even my efforts to examine this give yelps. Don't think it's a serious medical problem yet. I made sure they both had lots of water before i left ( Read more... )

But if it's not a bait, what's it doing there? Disturbed by this.

As it happened it was actually a pressie for Ebby the dog next door, who apparently jumped the fence into my backyard with it! Must have happened last week and I hadn't spotted it there. Brook next door told me about it. They'll be watching my pets while I'm away. :)-+

I found what might have been a bait in my backyard today.

It was the knee or a joint of some four legged animal. It was half rotten through and infested with maggots. And it was right next to the new fence near where it meets the existing (and shorter) fence. My next door neighbor has no front fence/gate to speak of and they are often out so it ( Read more... )

Brook next door asked me if she could have the end of a runner on one of my trees.

The runner's for Ebby, who likes to escape in various ways. She used to did under my fence but they electrified it (from a battery)  and that stopped that. Then she started to dig underneath the fence on the other side. Two dogs in there and she likes to play with ( Read more... )

Had a dream of Pegasus last night though he wasn't exactly in it. I dreamt that he had just died and I had to take a bus somewhere to pick up his wings. I woke up feeling very sad and cried. Got over this by finally watching the episode of Dirk gently from earlier this week ( Read more... )

I sorta crashed emotionally yesterday. I think there were two main "causes' of this:

• Earlier in the week I applied for a new dog with a rescue pet group. I know that someone else did (a family) and the big issue when Jerry came out was fighting fleas in the house, and making the fences dog proof (Bobby mostly doesn't bother). But I know that I'll ( Read more... )

After almost a week of not turning up, Tucker (the dog from next door) just did. I was busy compiling a DVD for a friend in the study when I looked up and there was his face peering through the connecting window to my bedroom! It's after 11pm, and it raining. I can only guess that they've all gone to bed and left him outside, rather than in the ( Read more... )
