Late barkday prezzie

 The postie man snuck up the garden path while I  woz snoozing this afternoon.  He banged on the door and woked me up, I rushed to the door and shouted WOOF WOOF WOOF at him and he runned away but left a big box on the doorstep. It woz a prezzie for me!

 

It's another puzzle toy. I has lots of puzzle toys  I is good at puzzle toys. Here are my other puzzle toys. I needs a speshul cupboard to keep them in.

And here i am wiv my noo puzzle toy.

                           I is a clever boy

My barkday

Yesterday woz my Barkday, I is 10 now. I had lots of prezzies and had a ripping time opening them. 

 

Then Scottie and Lidia did come to see me and we did go in his dogmobile for a speshul barkday walkie.

 We went through the woods

to the place with the falling waters.

 

 I woz tricked into doing some swimming. I does not do swimming. I does paddling.

This does be the big falling waters.

 

We paddled across the running waters , Scottie helped Lidia walk on a log so she didn't get her paws wet then he  dried his paws.

and Lidia had a drink.

When we got back home She Who Thinks She Must Be Obeyed made my barkday doggie icecream

                                                                But I didn't like it.
 

Catching Up

Rogan is getting on a bit now, he will be 10 in a week and is slowing down considerably although he still loves his walks on the beach and his bit of parkour while we are there.

                              And he still enjoys riding in the dogmobile to get there
 

We have had a couple of bad years. We had workmen in the road for several months, making lots of noise with their machinery. Rogan has always been highly strung and after this he suffered with seperation anxiety and when he gets stressed he licks himself raw. The vet didn't listen and started talking about various skin diseases and put him on a high dose of steroids which in my opinion have totally wrecked him. he lost a kilo in 5 days, losing all the muscle in his back legs and his undercoat from the ribs back, the itching and scratching was 100 times worth and it has affected his immune system. not only that I suspect the steroids are hindering the healing process. We have seen 7 different vets and they all bar1 try to blame either allergies or a raw diet. Only 1 has listened to my explanation of stress but  when I tried to book another appointment with him I was told he had retired. I've lost all faith in vets!

He used to love his agility but has been unable to carry on with his 1to1 lessons since the muscle loss in his back legs. But he still enjoys his mantrailing, and other nosework games

 The good news, This morning when I brushed him his back legs did not collapse as they have been doing when I touch his back end.
