Non-Infection Vets

We went to the vets this evening, and for the first time I didn’t have an ear infection!  In fact the vet said both Hal’s and my ears were very clean.  I haven’t had an ear infection since January – that’s very good for me as I’m forever swimming in mucky water or rolling around in mud!

Mummy took us out for a walk before the vets in the hope that she would get rid of some of our energy – oh, what an opportunity to let her know how we felt…  We found some really smelly horse poo and had quite a picnic on it.  Mummy had to give us all treats and brush our teeth before we went to the vets to try to get rid of the smell.

I’m pleased to report that both Hal and I are fine – our legs were checked and they all seemed OK, along with our hearts, teeth and ears.  And we had our annual injections.  Both Hal and I have put on weight since last October, but that’s not surprising for Hal as he was only just starting to walk again at the time his weight was last taken.  The nice vet confirmed that we’re still very slim, so the extra weight must all be muscle.

Casey may have to have an op, though – he’s got a lump on his chest (it’s been there for around 15 months, but this is the first time it’s been big enough for any fluid to be taken for testing).  We’ll know more next week, once the results come back…

All You Can Eat

I managed to sneak in the garage when Mummy got home this evening.  She didn’t leave me in there long – just long enough to put her bags down in the kitchen – but in that time I’d manged to get a big bottle of the bag of dog food, pulled it down onto the floor and started eating all that yummy food…  Mummy didn’t think I’d have had time to eat much, but judging by the stomach ache I’ve had this evening I think I managed to get more than she expected…

Not so Scruffy Now

Yeah, Mummy gave me a trim this evening – well, more than a trim, as all the fur she cut off filled at least 4 dustpans.  I feel so much better now, although it does mean I can no longer catch my tail when I’m chasing it.

Photos below – one of me before my trim, and then all of us afterwards:

1 Scruff and 3 Not So Scruffy

So not fair – I look so scruffy compared with my brothers.  Casey was trimmed yesterday, and today Mummy trimmed Shandy and Hal.  But I’m the one with the most fur – why has she left me?  I now look 10 times worse compared with my brothers…

Bye Bye Mummy!

We’ve got our own web address now – www.welshies.me.uk  So we no longer have any reference to Mummy in our URL.  Famous in our own right at last!

Sinking Canals

Oooo, we got to go for a walk along a canal today.  We started off at a stream, which allowed us to paddle and have a splash (although Casey is so little that he could swim), and then we headed to the big canal.  Hal was first to go in for a swim – oh, that was so funny.  He thought he could walk on water, and suddenly he was sinking, totally under the water, nose and all.  He panicked a little, and immediately swam back to the side for Mummy to fish him out – silly boy.  And then I saw some ducks and decided to jump in and swim after them – like Hal I totally disappeared under the water, but at least I kept swimming after the ducks when I surfaced.  But when Mummy called me I too realised that I couldn’t get out on my own, so Mummy’s fishing skills were needed a second time.  But it was so much fun, and now we’re all tired.

Chicken!

We got to be out in the front garden with Mummy today whilst she was doing the weeding.  We were on special leads that allowed us to wonder all round the garden, but wouldn’t let us off her land – but the local learner drivers didn’t know that…  We kept standing on the front path looking as though we were about to run across the road, and it was so funny watching those learners trying to work out what to do…
