The wagwaggon is 19 years old and today it had its latest MOT. That little car is worked hard. It's known at my garage as the kennel on wheels. 🚙 It always starts and has cost me very little over the years. Every year I wait for a fail, and the justification to buy a new vechicle to neglect, and it doesnt happen! 😕

But today she failed her MOT 😱 Yes the wretched thing has failed and cost me money! £17 for new wipers, and I'm stuck with her for another year, until her 20th birthday 🎂 She may be a bit tatty and passed her best, but she is reliable, safe and a bitch to kill...a bit like me. 🤣

Cindy loves her bed. She slept in my cabin with me last night and didn't stir. This morning, as I was getting ready, she was whining and wouldn't settle. Then I realised her bed was still in my cabin. After lugging it into the saloon, she happily settled and was soon off in dream land.

It's amazing what a difference, having a decent bed can make to a dogs life. Cindy has callouses on her elbow and hip from sleeping on hard surfaces in the past. I'm using paw butter on those, to soften them up. But this bed is making a real difference.

I've moved Cindy into the Master Cabin with me. Now that she has her new bed, it only fits in the living area or in here. Prior to this she was sharing the den with Ember, but I would often find her sleeping on the corridor floor. So tonight is a test. Will she stay in her new bed or choose to sleep on the floor? I only hope she doesn't snore or fart in her sleep!

UPDATE: 1-9-25 The vet was very pleased with Embers wound and her stitches can come out in 6 days time.

Ember is recovering nicely. She is having some cone free time and is leaving her wound alone. Tomorrow night she is having a checkup, and hopefully we will have some results from the lab.

Just had Cindy's weekly weigh in. From her arrival weight of 25.2kg, she is now 27.4kg, which is a 1.2kg increase from last week. We are well on the way to our 32kg target. ❤️‍🩹

I got scammed online. I spent a lot of time looking for a really good orthopaedic bed for Cindy, and having read rave reviews, I went ahead and ordered. It wasn't cheap.

The first clues that all was not well, was waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive. When it did finally turn up, the weight of the package made my stomach sink. On opening the vacuum pack, I found a total piece of rubbish. No delivery paperwork, but stickers on the outside in Chinese.

I've emailed Funny Fuzzy and have had no response, so now it up to PayPal to get my £93 back. In the meantime, I went onto Amazon and found a lovely memory foam bed for Cindy. It arrived in a big box, the next day and was weighty, as you would expect for that type of dog bed. Once opened, it's so nice the entire crew have been in it today.

I'm sick of these websites that make it look like you are buying premium products and you then get something cheap nasty instead. I'm going to contact trading standards too, but at the end of the day, Cindy is finally comfy.

So note to self, there is no fool like an old fool!

Ember is doing well. The vet said the tumour had wrapped around the main vein in her leg, so it wasn't possible to get a good margin. She did her best and that is all I could ask for. This nasty thing grew in just 3 weeks to the size of a 5p coin. Now I have to wait to find out exactly what it is.

Fynn 27-08-25

Fynn first came onboard Barge Yaffle in 2021 with his Yorkshire Terrier fur sister Mia. They came for an annual autumn holiday and were just the oddest, but sweetest duo. For such a large dog, Fynn was always aware of his size and was super gentle. Sadly at age 7 he already had arthritis, and our walks were sedate and gentle affairs. After my injury in 2022, Fynn was the only large dog that I continued to board, because he was such a gent! Our holidays together were times I looked forward to. Finding him stretched out on the sofa in the mornings and looking so comfy was lovely. Sadly Fynn became unwell recently with cancer in his bone, and passed away whilst munching sausages and surrounded by his devoted and loving family. Now free from pain, I have no doubt he is running around over rainbow bridge, having a lovely time. Take care big fella, I really hope we meet again one day. x
