MASH UNIT.

Morris : It's been a rough week. Last week we had some good runs and then when we came home Pam found we both had some bad cuts and scrapes. This meant she spent time behaving as if she was in a MASH unit. Cleaning, sterilising and bandaging. This meant we couldn't get hydro on Thursday and got laser treatment instead. I am not complaining. As usual, it was wonderful. We both fell asleep when we came home we were so chilled. Glorious.

Mabel: I apparently got the worst of the damage and that is because I am brilliant runner, who gives her all and never lets pain stop her speed. Morris just says I'm a lunatic. I do have a sore paw now but Pam is looking after it. At least I don't allow myself to get overheated. Morris does. We went a walk really early yesterday morning because it was hot. Morris had to take a break and cool down in the Tweed.

I did go into the water but to wash my paws. I prefer that. I also like smelling lovely things. Like rabbits and squirrels and roses.

SUMMER! WE THINK NOT.

Mabel: Not been great weather here, warm but wet which plays with my arthritis. Still managed to have a great run about with our friend Murphy. His tongue doesn't hang out as much as ours do? Why is that?

Also noticed my big brother's bum has got really interesting whorls on each side. I'm sure they will be related to some mathematical formulae but my maths was never that good. I mean I can count how many biscuits I get and if Morris gets more than me but beyond that what use is Calculus to me?

Morris : I'm not going to give her discussion on my hair patterns any time at all. I would like to say we have had some spectacular early morning runs with Ewen. Can I just say Mabel is in all of these pictures. You just can't see her because she has a habit of just taking off into the sunrise.

WEE BREAK.

Mabel: We have been away. We've been visiting New Abbey again which means walks at Southerness and races round fields. The graveyard is very neat which makes Pam happy too. Have to say the weather has been a bit changeable. Lovely one minute and then cold, wet and freezing. I am not a great lover of the cold. My hair is a bit thin, due to my Greyhound father, which makes me get cold easy. I like warm and dry.

Morris: I don't mind where I go as long as I can see Ewen. As to the cold, I am more like our Mum, Deerhound, so I am hairier and can put up with the cold more. I do have to say though....it is June and not very warm at all. On warm days we have also been down to the river to cool in but that was just one day.

Morris and Mabel : We are really sad about the loss of one of our friends, Luther. We didn't know him as well as Magnus and Mirren did, but he was one of our pack. He wasn't very well recently and sadly passed away. We hope he has water to paddle in, sand bunkers to roll in and white couches to relax in, plus a bone to chew and bury. His old pals will be pleased to see him.
