BIG BOY WALKS!
Yes folks, I'm still doing big boy walks (sorry Donna, you're an honourary big boy now). I'm eating HOOOGE bowls of meat, cheese, breadsticks AND having my blood-nasties pills in ham as well. I'm still getting fed that funny powder every few days (bleurgh 🤢) but Mum does mix it with hunny so it's not quite so awful (it's still awful 😂). Got me ARFs back properly too. But I'm not eating cake - Dad bought some and ended up having it himself 😂 But don't worry he's still a fit n healthy dad, just like me.
Well you know Mad Monty scared us all by going Pod-About? He did it again but not so bad. In fact it woz a sort of success in the end. He's got so much better with Mum n Dad that he's been having a bit of off lead time and behaving well - until he didn't. Oooops 🤭 We blame Donna! Mum unclipped his lead and it woz all going well until Dangerous Donna The Rabbit Snatcher set off as fast as her short legs would go, which is FAST🚴三. And Monty followed! Oh nooooooooooo. Mum spied something moving on the ridge top, then two furry missiles streaking through the bushes and P**F! GONE! Proper gone too, norty people. Mum called n called (very loudly 🔊) and thankfully Monty's tracker woz showing up on screen, heading her way. Miss Malshep came into view at top speed but Monty wasn't with her. Mum checked the tracker and called - and she could see him on the phone fairly racing back. Come on Monty Man! He found the top of 'our' track and came down straight to Mum. What a star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BIG FUSS AND CUDDLES!
Miss Donna's treatment is going well, but she started snotting out blood 😬 so yesterday she had a half dose. No more nosebleeds. Phew! 😁 Today she had another half dose, but she wasn't impressed by all the dogs crowded into Mr Eduardo The Needle Jabby Man's waiting room. She woz grumbling n protecting Dad, we think. Silly girl! Dad dropped into the little village pharmacy for yet more meds (it's Dog Hospital here you know) and by the time he'd got across the road Donna woz half out of the window 😂😱. So he had to get her out but the nice lady let her into the shop.
We had visitors again yesterday and Monty didn't like it very much but he didn't spend his whole day up the garden this time. He akshully stuck his head through the curtain to spy suspiciously on them 👀. That's big progress! Then he sat outside being mostly quiet 🤫, which is even bigger progress.
Dads been making sweary noises coz we've had things failing. Off grid is such fun he says 😂. A pond pump failed, and a ceiling fan - which the stoopid Spanish makers don't do parts for. I can't possibly repeat wot he said about that 😂.
We're s'posed to be getting rain 🌧 but Mum's totally unconvinced, coz we almost always get missed here. The olives would love it though coz they're ripening, and it'll soon be time to try the Speshul Olive Wibblers. Ooooooooo!
