Sorry it's been a bit quiet for a day or so but we've had visitors, and Hugo had to go back to the vets. (The medicine isn't helping so it's off for tests next week, poor old Huggy Bear).
We had a lovely early hound-about this morning because someone 'narked' at someone else at four-thirty. FOUR-THIRTY! That woke the Hoomans but Dad couldn't sleep afterwards so when Mum got up an hour later he was sitting on the sofa on his own, poor Dad. Silly Henry refused to move but we think he possibly has days when he doesn't feel well. He's about 11 now and has had Cushing's Disease since he was 2. I wish he could give Mr Cushing his horrible disease back! Nasty man giving it to Henry. (Oh, ok thanks Mum - she says Dr Cushing discovered the disease and it's named after him. I wonder if there's a Dr Santos disease? I could be famous!)
Ennyway off we went on our usual big early farm walk - cos it's too hot to do much else at the moment 馃サ. I'm still in Lead Prison with my pokey eye 鈽癸笍 so I make up for it with more noise 馃攰. It was a bad poke as well because mum said she could see a hole in it 馃槺. A tiny hole but still a hole, probably from a thorny bush I stuck my head in. So its antibiotics every 2 hours and pain relief drops on tap. Mum says I'm an idiot and she's ordered me orange doggles, so I'll be looking like an extra on Ski Sunday soon!
Flying Fozzie took a bit of a tumble today hurtling after a rabbit. He came crashing down the bank onto the track with his legs in the air, rolled over and shook himself. He was fine but unfortunately the rabbit he caught had got crashed too 馃挜馃殫 so we had to leave it for Mr Fox. Then when we got to the solar panels at the top, Mum was so preoccupied with drinks for everyone that she forgot Alfie's muzzle. (It stops him eating orrible dead fings and he's only just getting over the last stomach upset!) So a few minutes and a few sweary words later she had to walk back to get it 馃槀. MUM that's rood!
Then Alfie went Alf-about after another rabbit and came back with spiky bush confetti all over him. (Thankfully most dropped off before we got home but Dad was ready with the comb to get the last bits out).
Unfortunately it's still dog hospital here 馃彞 what with my eye, Alfie's bum, Hugo's big glands and now a nodule on the nose! My funny nose swelling is back in the same place and it looks like an expanding marble! Mum's back in action with the mega dose antibiotics but it's a mystery what's caused it. As if Pokey Eye wasn't enough to deal with! At least it hasn't stopped me enjoying my cake 馃嵃馃榿.
