Sunshine Makes All The Difference.

Richie has taken Marleen and Spike down to the vets, Marleen to have her stitches out; she had a little lump nipped off her neck last week Monday.

Luckily it was not malignant and she did not need too much anaesthetic and was wide awake pretty quick and keen to go home.

Once the stitches are out both dogs will be looked at, Marleen to see if she too has mange and Spike to check that the treatment is working.

Got a call from our vets on Monday wanting to hear more details about why we had to go to the Emergency Clinic at the weekend.

The Emergency Clinic always lets the regular vet know if clients have had to use their weekend service

Hope that Richie and the dogs are back soon, planning to get out of bed and do the leg exercises with the Motomed and then go outside.

Or maybe go out first then come back and do the exercises, today is a lovely balmy warm summer day which I want to enjoy by going out.

Summer is here at last, even if only for a day, it is here and it is gorgeous, well worth the wait.

Hope of course that we will be fortunate to have, this lovely weather for the next three months that would be great.

This morning woke up feeling all the pain as soon as I was, conscious again, tried to be as quiet as possible and not wake Richie or Nur.

Felt not just the pain but all the endless hopelessness of being trapped in my body unable to move.

As soon as Richie heard me cry out he got me some THC and the pain took a back seat once more and I could relax and think of other things.

Getting involved with the world always makes me feel so much better, once I can sit up and take part everything changes again.

Today the weather has given me a huge boost that I really needed after waking up feeling so desperate.

Funny how sunshine makes things feel better, just like a positive perspective really does make life feel better.

Cool Summer's Day.In Amsterdam.













Gareth's Photos From Wales.


Woke up early, at 6 am as the blanket had somehow slipped off me and I was cold, Richie covered me up again and we both slept on for a few hours.

The sun was shining abit when we opened the curtain at 10 am but as I looked the cloud cover came back and within half an hour there was no sun.

It became noticeably cooler as soon as the sun went away so no return of the brief summer weather.

Beginning to think that this year will not be a good a summer as last year, not surprising really as last year was the best summer here in many years.

Shame for me especially as it would be so much nicer to go out in balmy warm weather, oh well never mind just have to warm up warm.

Richie has taken Spike off to the Emergency Animal Clinic as he did not respond as well as we expected to the flea treatment on Monday.

Sadly it was a typically late on Friday that we first noticed his scratching was getting really over the top.

Yesterday late afternoon he was starting to hurt himself quite abit so Richie put the plastic bucket round his head to stop him from biting himself.

Well they are back now, seems Spike has mange, which is a class of persistent contagious
Skin diseases caused by parasitic mites.

Poor old Spike has really not been having a good year this year with the knee operation and his teeth and now mange too.
.
He now has a treatment for the next three months which will get rid of the parasite.

Marleen will have to go and see the vet this week as she will need to be treated too as we are sure she will have got it from Spike by now.

Going to watch more football now Ghana v Serbia and later on it is Germany v Australia.

Earlier today we watched Slovenia win against Algeria, almost forgot we saw two games Friday fsirst was South Africa v Morocco and then France v Uroguay.

Am enjoying the game seems to be a good game with both teams playing well, unlike England yesterday.

They had a good first goal sadly for them they celebrated like they had already won the tournament.

Glad USA got a goal yesterday, even though it was mainly thanks to the England goal keeper’s blunder.

Lots more games to come.
