We are almost back to normal with the dogs, Tiffany and Spirit are at the tale end of their seasons, Audrey and Dime have finished and are back to normal routines. I have to brag about how good my boys have been over the last few weeks. Being in such close proximity to girls who are extremely sexy, giving off all the right vibes and who would love to be promiscuous, they have not whinged at all, they have not gone of their food, they have not barked or howled and they most certainly have not been marking in the house and there have been no issues between them whatsoever.
Today we took just the boys (and Purdie) to Dartmoor as a treat, the girls that are not is season will all chase sheep, so although we can take them for a walk on the moors it does mean that we have to be extremely vigilant at all times which makes for a stressy walk.
Purdie, who will be 11 years old in Dec, has started having problems getting into the van, she is not lame, just doesn't have much strength in her backend, so we took her for xrays a couple of weeks ago, which unfortunately shows she has severe spondylitis (fusing of the spine). She is remarkably fit and well considering what the xrays show, but we know that this condition will eventually force us into a decision about her future. For now she is still loving her walks, she does not just mope along beside me, she runs, she plays with the others, she swims and looks after her pack :-)
The kittens are a bloody nightmare, I thought getting Miggins a friend would keep her occupied and stop her creating havoc, how wrong can you be, what I have now got is the terrible twins, and then when they are tired I have 2 of them on my lap and sitting on the keyboard whilst I try to type, bless them!!
