This is just so,so sad. The only consolation is that his last months were filled with love, kindness and care. Thinking of Paul & Terry who must be devastated, but can take comfort in the knowledge that they were there for this beautiful boy. RIP Bobby boy - run free.xxxxx

Jessie unfortunately is not well enough to go back to the kennels - she has been sick a few times so she is staying at our house until she is back on her feet. She has been quiet all night and has let us know when she needs to go outside - she is a treasure x

Thank you! Took Bob to the vet's today and they did a thorough examination and all seemed fine - heart rate normal....gums fine....circulation fine....not dehydrated....no problems in tummy area being felt....temperature bang on. They then also did a blood test and it came back with 3 values not being right. 1 of them was the Lymphocytes were too low. He has tablets to take for a week and then we will see. Of course with it being Christmas, I will have to take him on Friday 27th. He has lost quite a bit of weight...he was 34 1/2 kg and is now 28kg. Trying to build him up, but he is allowed nothing but his kibble ie no sardines / mince / fish etc at the moment. Thank you for the lovely card Michelle xxx
