INJURED!!!

Morris : I suppose it was all going too well, Nice runs, good chases and then ....sore paws. We were having lazy mornings and busy afternoons or racing mornings and sleepy afternoons.

And then two deer surprised us and off we went. I punctured a paw and Mabel sliced off a pad. Not pretty at all.

Had to use Pam as a support post.

Mabel: I'd just got that paw back to full strength, no boots needed. I'd been rock climbing.

Then I slice off the pad again. More pills. Met one of our new vets, Jonathan Hundal. He was great. Just got right down beside us and fixed my bandaging up.

Mabel and Morris : This week we lost one of our old friends, Micky. She was twelve. She loved swimming in the morning and running up North Berwick Law. She will be missed. The last time we saw her she went early morning, cold water swimming with Ewen and her mum, Lesley. She will be missed.

VALENTINES DAY!

Morris: We all got cards this morning. I know who sent mine!! But it's the thought that counts. Been in North Berwick again and have really made use of the big empty fields. Brilliant run today and I caught a rabbit. Mabel was very jealous and pretended she had hurt her paw again.

Mabel : I did send him a card. I mean he's my big brother. I rather wish I'd got one from Bracken. He's a lovely big, black, labrador and very frisky. Anyway, great runs as Morris said. I think his rabbit was already on its way out. It didn't run very fast. He did put it out of its misery though. Pam mentioned something about "Mixie".

Pam had to go to hospital on Wednesday and while we were waiting for her we went to Abbotsford for a walk. We both always feel at home there. It really suits us.!!
