WEEKLY CHAT (non-osprey) SUNDAY, MAY 31, 2015

Hallo all!  Pies, champagne, snacks on some folks menus and yes, OG, you will get addicted to BBC Rewind.

  • Thought you might like to start the day by smiling:

    Dogs enjoy TV, too, especially the wildlife programmes!

    (Taken during Springwatch - she especially enjoys birds!, though I rather think she wants to catch them, unfortunately!)

  • Clare Bailey said:

    Good morning, all.  For anyone who watches Springwatch and Unsprung - Limpy was on Unsprung last night!  He really enjoyed it.Oh, Clare!  I have been watching Unsprung and looking at the male faces, wondering which might be Limpy!  But I didn't see it last night! Glad he had a good time :-)

  • Awwwww!  Great pictures of Bonnie, Lindy - whatever will she get up to next?

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • Good morning all and thanks for all your entertaining posts. Just a quick post to say all is well after my consultant visit yesterday. A slight drop in heamoglobin level but nothing to be concerned about as it probably down to the fact that I am having a longer gap between chemo this time. Will revert back to 4 weekly treatments. She did say that I can extend the 4 weeks to 5 as long as it is not too often.

    Haven't  posted as life is very quiet and not a lot to say at the moment. Just seen Lindy's pic of Bonnie watching TV, how cute, does she try to touch what she sees.

    Have a good day all and take care.

  • Hi, Margo!  It's good to hear from you and it's good to know things are still going OK.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • Good to hear from your Margo, and that you have good news.  You must be nervous whenever you see the consultant, but they do seem to be taking good care of you, which is just great.

    Yes, Bonnie runs up to the TV and paws at the screen, we have to rush in and grab her before she does any damage!

    Here's another of her, one day when she thought she could see a relative!  She cried and whined!

    She is growing fast and is really heavy to lift up, now.  We had her weighed at the Vets yesterday, she is over 11 kg!

  • Lindy always a bit tense for both of us when we see the consultant. Yesterday was tough because appointment was for 11.45 and we had to wait 45 minutes so it was even more stressful. Next time appointment is at 10.00. 

    Bonnie is certainly growing. Has the change of food helped solver the tummy problem. As you know Billie had a skin problem and after 3 years the vet thought it could be food related. Changed her food and touch wood no problems with her skin.

  • I remember that about poor Billie suffering with her skin, Margo, and that you finally seemed to have it sorted out.  After telling a lot of people about Bonnie and our suspicion that it might be chicken in her food, we have heard from a whole lot of people that their dogs had similar problems. We have cut out giving her meat in jelly too, which comes in handy pouches for puppies.  Whichever it is, she does seem to be a lot better now, but we will have to give it time to see if it occurs again.  Of course, the added problem is that she eats all kinds of plant matter and some of it might be mildly toxic!

    Sorry you had to wait so long to see the Consultant:  we had some long waits, too when my OH was seeing them, but told ourselves that their work is so important, they must have a job every day trying to fit everything and everyone into the day. But whenever we saw one, they were excellent and informative and helpful. (except for one, but that is another story, LOL!! - some people are def. in the wrong job!). Hope you continue to feel better between treatments, as much as is possible. {HUGS}

  • If anyone needs cheering up the LG cam is focused on EJ on a branch with a huge fish.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • Wow, thanks Clare - that really is an EJ Whopper!

    Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
