Shadow has pawed in her resignation as chief bird chaser. She won\u2019t say if this is a temporary measure as she\u2019s still not feeling well, or if she sees this as a permanent change. Mum was most taken aback when the pigeons enjoyed the garden undisturbed while Shadow was wandering around the garden. This is something which has never happened before and Mum realised she wasn\u2019t altogether happy about the change. She likes Shadow\u2019s sparky character, even if it is infuriating at times. Seeing her not having the energy or desire to chase things is a very sad state of affairs. She\u2019s bright enough in herself and barking as much as usual. She still listens to the radio, but doesn\u2019t like Bob Dylan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum is waiting to see how her tummy is as to whether she needs to go to the vet. She is doing much better, but not to put too fine a point on it, her poo is the wrong colour! Now, I know you won\u2019t want me to go into too much detail, but this is not the colour it turns when her pancreas is playing up. Yesterday her poo was yellow. Quite bright yellow. If it is like that again today and it isn\u2019t a one off she will be going to see our lovely vet. That can mean she is having some sort of liver problem. She\u2019s drinking a lot too, so they could be connected. Poor old Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, this is only funny if you\u2019re not involved. Yesterday Mum was unloading the dishwasher while Shadow was having tea. Poor old Shadow really is in the wars and swallowed the wrong way. Mum of course rushed to make sure she was ok, and smashed a plate in the process. Shadow was fine, but the plate isn\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
