Happy Wednesday Grapeys
Another luvly blue sky day with wall to wall sunshine but its just a wee bit nippy out there. Down to 6.3 last night, that's cold for us!
Its a day for keeping busy in the garden...........or preferably the GH
Have a good day

Morning all, tired today. Couldn't sleep again and the the dogs were up at 6am wanting to play...eh no guys, far too early!! Misty and cold here this morning, hopefully it will cheer up later.

Good luck at the a Vets Nicos...everything crossed for Hibou!

Good morning all . A very dull and grey start to the day here. Methinks the morning will be given over to boring old housework.
However, sun is forecast for later and i will be collecting grandaughter number 2 from school today so I anticipate a pleasant afternoon.

Hibou update!

Really good news ( I think!)

Her eye is a severe eye infection not responding to anitibiotics...so they are changing her drops and oitment and the doses of some of her other medications.
The bruise behind her eyeball is steadily shrinking so the steroids are clearly working...phew.

follow up in 1 week - or before if I'm not happy.

We're getting there folks!!!!

House smells wonderful- I've been stewing windfalls...mmmmm.... reminds me of my grannie's on a Sunday when she would have an apple steamed pudding on the go and a huge jug of custard ready for the pud.

Wonderful news Nico´s. Very happy for you.
It smells so bad here so so bad, new septic tank fitted.

I am also still without a car and looking like it will cost 1/2 an arm and 3/4 of a leg. Hoping the cleaning job will do it but theres only a small chance it will. Been house bound a week tomorrow.

[Nicos]

Oh dear Lisa- not good news.

[Jay22]

Great news about Hibou, Nicos!

Well I am about to get revenge on these two early bird dogs...just taking them to the groomers!! Hee hee!

[craftymarie]

Great to hear a very positive Hibou update

I spent this morning juicing an apple windfall we were given and making apple sauce to freeze. Off to read some garden mags now and have a cuppa. Have a great rest of the day everyone.

Good news about Hibou, I hate it when a pet is ill/injured they are so much a part of our families.

Currently one of mine caught fleas. Both of mine are regularly treated. I've told them they aren't allowed pets, but he ignored me. The fleas are gone but he's still (obviously) got itchy bites. It's driving me nuts, especially as we're sleeping together. Don't be rude, you know what I mean.

I'm living in the lounge whilst my house is being renovated, so I can't put him somewhere else. Does anyone know what I can do to alleviate his itching especially as I can't find the bites because of his coat.

[Jay22]

Give him a piriton Janie, works on dogs itchy skin. Our bichon had an infection after he got an insect bite...worked a treat!
