Off to the vet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well Shadow headed off to the vet yesterday. Her tummy is playing up again. She\u2019d been sick a couple of times after eating and was feeling very out of sorts. It was when she snapped at Alfie that Mum got the message that she really was feeling ill. We\u2019re hoping it\u2019s just a bit of gastro-enteritis and nothing more serious. She wasn\u2019t allowed to eat for the rest of the day, which she was pretty fed up about. If she\u2019s sick again today then she has to go back and may need some more treatment or tests. She says she really is fed up with her tummy and is as careful as any dog could be. I guess it\u2019s not always that simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the problems with pancreatitis is that once you\u2019ve had\nit once you are more liable to get it again. Mum says if she could turn the\nclock back she\u2019d never have given Shadow puppy food when she was expecting her\nfirst litter, but it\u2019s too late for that thought now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting Prospective owners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the important jobs that we dogs have to do, is meet\nfamilies who are thinking of adding one of us to their number and checking that\nthey know what we\u2019re really like. I had to fly the flag last night. Oh, don\u2019t\nget me wrong, I\u2019m not complaining. It usually involves an extra walk somewhere\ndifferent, total adoration and some extra treats. We\u2019d be daft not to want to\ndo it. Shadow used to enjoy these meetings but as she can\u2019t walk so far she has\ngiven up. Years ago, Alfie used to have to do a lot of them as there were so\nfew of us in the country. He\u2019s not keen on meeting new people now so prefers not\nto. And obviously, Ari can\u2019t because of his legs. I can though and I just love\ndoing them. Anything for an extra bit of attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shall be going to the station tonight to meet Dad, but I\nalready know him so I don\u2019t get quite so many treats, but I will get total\nadoration. Having said that, I shall be giving some total adoration too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
