eve

Hope they help Jazz. Been a nothing sort of day here, dull and cloudy but not cold. Had a wander over to the shops and bought some plants from BM bargains. Lots of work to do in the garden as the previous owner covered all the borders in membrane and gravel so I have to clear all that whenever I want to plant anything. It'll take a while, but I'll get there. Also need to start decorating but waiting on a plasterer to say when he can do some tidying up before I can start. I'm not good at waiting lol

Thanks Owl - I never seem to be looking at the night sky at the right time to see this for real. One day I will!

Good morning, hope everyone is well

Everything crossed for a speedy recovery

Trying to keep up with Jazz's fosters and failing miserably lol

Was my dream home too Jazz but unfortunately have to think of the future. Richard's mobility is getting worse so a large Victorian house and wonderful countryside was a bit of a waste. We've moved to a more modern house nearer to shops and facilities. My son is also just 20 minutes away so not all bad. Plus we get deliveries from everyone, not just a select few lol. It's a bit of an adjustment but we'll be fine.

Poor Kevin, hope he doesn't have to lose too many more. And reminds me I have to find a new dentist. I've registered with a doctor, found a good hairdresser but not signed up with a dentist yet. Hopefully won't be moving again anytime soon - too many things to think about lol

Feels a strange point to jump back in but here I am. Sorry to be AWOL for so long - had a lot of family stuff to deal with and we've moved house. Just to Paisley but it feels like we're back into civilisation again - I'm near proper shops lol. I've been reading all your posts and been thinking of you all.

Cooper has damaged his cruciate ligament in his back left leg. He's being referred to a specialist in Stirling for an op to repair it. Nick is in the vets tomorrow to get his tracheotomy tube removed. Honey is being wrapped in bubble wrap as we speak so there are no more injured dogs lol. She is my wee tough nut mind you and doesn't 'do' injuries/illnesses.

Took Cooper to the vet to have his x-ray on his leg. Picking him up in an hour. Been watering the garden as it's still hot and sunny here and no sign of any down pours for us.

Good morning

well done Nikki

Finally back home. Slightly cooler than most of the places we stopped on the way up (35C at Cobham services yesterday!) but still a very hot 26C Hope Nikki is feeling safer and more confident every day xx

How's she settling in Jazz? Been unbearably hot here today. I'll be glad to get back to Scotland for a cool down lol

Is the yorkie coming to you Jazz? Today was sooo hot. Tomorrow is meant to be even hotter - around 30c degrees. I will be hiding in the shade reading a book I think.

That's lovely Jazz

Not much happening here either. Very hot and trying to keep Nick and Cooper quiet.

Oh no Jazz, not what you need

Good morning xx

The vets really don't know what caused it Blackmagic. He's going to see a specialist when we're back in Scotland who'll hopefully get to the root of it. We're staying down for an extra week to make sure he's fit to travel. He's being a little sod about taking his meds though. Every trick we thought we knew about getting pills into dogs, he's way ahead of us lol

Nick had a relapse today and had to have an emergency op to have his airway widened and a temporary tracheotomy fitted. They would have preferred to refer him to a specialist for the op but the nearest one was over 2 hours away and they feared he wouldn't survive the journey so did it themselves.He's in the vets overnight so we'll see what tomorrow brings. They've been liaising with our vets in Dunoon re further treatment down the line.Just want my baby boy back xx

Can't imagine a kilo of chocolate biscuits Jazz lol. We've been travelling down to Eastbourne over the past couple of days as we've family stuff happening. Arrived this afternoon and poor wee Nick wasn't well. He's been in the vets all afternoon and had to have his lungs drained amongst other things. It came on so suddenly yet we nearly lost him. Richard's just gone to pick him up. Can't believe it all got so bad so quickly out of nowhere.

Good morning xx

It's been chucking it down for ages. Garden needs it so I won't complain. Lots of places in and around Glasgow are flooded and at the shopping centre near where my son lives a lot of the roofs have collapsed as it couldn't cope with the volume of water landing on them.

Good morning
