Unauthorised treats

As usual after tending to the horses we visit Shyla, the older kids dog. On the way out she is left with some treats but today she found her own – snack. Her flavour preference is obvious, note how the tops have been shaved off!

Toilet break

Shyla - the older kids K9, is there such a thing as a grand pet? We visit her most days around lunchtime, she knows the routine and while I am out the back with her for toilet and play ET (the wife) is inside preparing her treats and checking on the two cats – and fish tank temperature! I was trying to get her to hold the round “saucer like” plastic thing in her mouth – no luck.

Holly our 6yo golden retriever has a lump!

We booked her in today for 2:00pm visit to the vet. Been here before and know what to expect, needle aspiration then wait with fingers (and toes) crossed while they check under the scope. Good news is she is OK, no cancer cells just fatty ones – PHEW!!!

Retirement - two years on

Pulled the plug on July 10th 2010, the clock radio still wakes me every morning but these days it's set for 8:15am - not 6:30am. One of the nice things about retirement is being able to do what you want when you want - and not have answer to anyone.
