Buster has had to visit the vets this morning with a sore leg.
It seems after his examination by the animal doctor that he has sprained a ligament or something in his knee which makes for some twitching whenever he tries to climb the stairs or jump up.
He has been feeling a little sore for a few days however last night he became too uncomfortable and mum had to take a look at it.
So warm water bottles and no jumping up for my pal.
Other news.
Are these guys ugly or just misunderstood….
My dad spotted this story over the weekend on the BBC website.
With the days now getting shorter and the dark nights only a few months away it is an ideal time to start to desensitise your best friend to the expected load bangs and pops of fireworks.
In the UK firework use peaks for bonfire night in November whilst in the USA, the peak may well be Thanksgiving or the 4th July. Please spare a thought for us pooches who do get a bit scared.
One of the ways to help your pets to cope is to play to them the sound of fireworks with increasing volume of a period of some weeks.
Random jottings
Buster and I both love turnip or swede after our meals. Does anyone know why? We go bonkers for the hard fleshed vegetable.
Cumbria is now getting ready for digital tv switchover and my dad tells me that in the USA, unlike here, they are doing the switch in one day. Best of luck guys. hope you have enough set top boxes to go around.
Why is it that?
I am going to start an occasional feature here with the hope that it will prompt some debate. Nothing too taxing but just an observation from our end of the lead of you humans.
So todays observation is… Why is it that you humans seem to think we don’t like any other dog foods except meat flavoured?
Bring on a curry, a fish pie or some lasagne…. I love them and so does Buster. Meat from a can is ok but how I long for a new taste. So why don’t dog food manufacturers think of new flavours.
I agree some human tastes are bad for us but fish! Why is it only ok for cats? And come to think of it why is fish only good for them.
So fellow muts what flavours do you like? I can see the recipe book now, the appearances of chat programmes and the cookery programmes.
Do you know of any dog recipe websites or books then spread the word via the comments below.
