Scissors and stitches

It’s been a hairy January. Mom and dad went to Bruges and left me behind. But I had a great break in the country with the ducks on the farm. Mum was worried about a lump she found on my ear, as it had grown bigger over christmas. There was one on my side too. [...]

Surgery

Mum reports – Smudge’s paw started bleeding today, it looks pretty rough, all swollen and red in the middle. We thought the problem was on the side of his foot. Well, we were wrong! The vet had a look at his paw this evening but it was too sore to touch. He’s going in for [...]

Totally pawed off

I started licking my paw on Sunday and couldn’t stop. It was really sore. Today I couldn’t put any weight on my leg so mum left me at home to be all loved up by Kristel, who wasn’t very well herself. So we felt sorry for each other and gave each other lots of healing [...]

All wrapped up

I was cooped up in mum’s office all day (apart from playing with the ball in the park at lunchtime). So when she opened the door at 5pm, I was out like a shot. I went straight for Karen’s office whilst mum’s back was turned. Karen walked into mum’s office, holding her hands up. Mum [...]

Ear / Better

Note from mum : Smudge’s ear is getting better and he’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who asked after him. He had part of his ear removed by the vet which was hanging off and 4 stitches were put in. He wasn’t happy to see the vet again but he’s now [...]

Ear / Limbo

The stocking wasn’t staying on at all so mum went out and bought some more bandages this morning. Poor mum was getting quite tired of putting my bandages on again and again, for I was constantly pulling them off. By late morning, my ear was bleeding again. By the afternoon it was getting very sore [...]
