BUSY.

Mabel: We have been very busy this past week. The weather has been changeable but Pam and Ewen have spent a bit of time tidying up the garden. I have spent some time sunbathing but I get too hot. I've also tried out the garden furniture again. Personally, I prefer their bed. The best bit is the walks. Long walks on the lead and even longer walks off. We've chased birds and rabbits and it has been magical. Only thing is we've been getting quite tired from all the exercise. We've been travelling about 5 miles per day, often at full speed. Need a duvet day!!!

Morris : Having a great time. I do get tired keeping an eye on my wee sister though. I mean, she does find fab things to chase but I do like to make sure where she is. I've also been practising my social skills. When Pam and Ewen have people in I'm trying to join in and keep the conversation on relevant topics....like food and walks and cuddles and scritches.

WEATHER ????

Morris: So this past week has been great. Pam is not at work for a while so we've been going up the hills "en famille" in the mornings. This morning, after glorious weather we got snow?? I do not know what is happening. One minute I'm sunbathing the next we are eating snow??????

Mabel: I've hurt my paw. Had to do a lot of limping and Ewen won't let me off the lead. Morris keeps running ahead and looking back and zooming past, just to upset me. I know I did this to him when he had a sore leg last week or so but..... I am staying cool because I will get better and then he will pay.

SPOKE TOO SOON!

Morris : So here I was, rattling on about being an athlete and then I go and strain my wrist. Limping pathetically and not allowed off the lead for a week. Had to get drugs and ice packed. I know my drugs are just anti inflammatories but they knock me for six. Slept like a log for two nights. Ice packs really helped. Pam has bought me a support strap So I can now jog a bit. Gave it a good chewing this morning!!

Mabel : He is SO accident prone. I charge around too. Mind you I am covered in scrape scars. No idea when they happen. Just come home and then they find more when I'm getting rubbed. Been told I need my nails clipped again. I like long nails but I have a feeling they'll be getting clipped??

BEACH LIFE!

Morris : I am an athlete. My hip is amazing. I am strong. I have been back to see Katie. The hydro tank is repaired, thankfully, and we had our session with our wonderful Katie at Greenside again. It really is a boost when you get complimented. Then, Pam is on holiday so we are getting out on big walks, even though the weather is totally rubbish, and just to top it all off we were at the beach on Sunday. Joys.

Mabel: I really was chuffed about our visit to Katie on Thursday. I did a total head over paws roll Tuesday. Was a bit scary actually. I could feel I'd jerked my back and Katie picked it up right away. Had a glorious massage to help. It was incredible. Felt I could let loose again when running. We athletes really need a good physio who knows what they're doing. And then, to get to run on the beach. To play beach volleyball. Total bliss. No rabbit holes. Just brilliant.
