Weigh in And Lunch

Following our lovely, but cold walks, we drove to the vets to pay some of Meerah's bloody big bill! Whilst there I weighed her, she's 32.9kg. I think that is ideal weight for her. When her coat comes back she will hopefully look a lot better. 
I also weighed Zavi, he was 25.3kg. This will be a more accurate weigh-in than on my little pet scales. I'm happy with that. 
We walked back along the road, having said recently that Zavi was bombproof with traffic I found him uncomfortable with the huge waggons. What didn't help was the fire engine putting his sirens on just as it passed us. Anyway we'll just have to do it again then!
A lovely lunch in the garden centre next to the vets and back home into the sunshine.

Meerah

Since she was spayed, Meerah has been eating breakfast daily. I'm really pleased, and now I've stopped buying the pouches for her, and I've started giving her a proper breakfast like eveyone else. I guess it proves that her lack of morning appetite was hormonal. For obvious reasons I need to make sure she doesn't put too much weight on, but now I can at least give her equal quantities morning and evening ... Oh, and the afternoon hunger puke has stopped too!

A Little Practice

Zavi having a little bit of training today. The boy did well and obviously was doing much better with me going round in front of him then corner to corner, but with just the two of us here, this was the only way I could get a little video.

TV Talk

Well the end of The Traitors, what the hell will I do now? I love Romesh anyway, so I was pleased for him, but my heart went out to James Blunt. To overthink it and go out at the last minute like that, such a shame, but I blame Romesh! LOL. I think I'll dump Will-I-Am, now I want to run away with James Blunt, I know he's posh, but I can do posh ... can't I? LOL
The only comfort is "This City Is Ours" and my little crush on Michael Kavanagh, the Scouse bad boy. Of course you can still have a crush at my age, and of course it would be a Scouser! This has got to be one of the best British dramas ever. I've got Katrina hooked on it now; I convinced her to watch the first series on catch-up and she can't put it down. I was the same, they are all a bunch of bad boys, but team Michael for me! 
I watched Time, that was good, not comfortable viewing but brilliantly done. The Blame was also excellent, oh yeah, and The Game. 
It'll soon be time for "I'm A Celebrity...." I enjoy that too, but I think Traitors outclasses it; never mind, at least I'll have a laugh!  

Blasting

Zavi has been scared of the blaster, so I had a plan using the mini blaster that I take to shows. Zavi is greedy, so I thought that using food would be the best plan. For about 4 days every time they came in for meals (they are all fed in their crates) I had the blaster on low in the room. The first day he came to an abrupt stop in the doorway, then ran into his cage to eat ... with everyday things improved gradually, and today, he ate his dinner with the mini blaster on the middle speed on his crate and blowing the air directly at him. A coupl of days of this now and I'll try using it on him again. 

Feels Like Summer




Two walks on Mynydd Cilgwyn, people and dogs everywhere ... Bahhh!!!! For peace's sake, I took the others round the Hogans quarry. It's hard to believe it's the last day of October. I was in a T.shit and a light jacket and my feet were boiling in my frost-line wellies. Still no complaints from me, I love this kind of autumn weather. 
Photo of the day - well easy choice for me - Orin and Siska!

Stunning Autumn Day




A morning of walks, then to try and please everyone an afternoon drive to Borth y Gest for tea and cake. It's a shame that, try as we do, we never seem to get it right!

Autumn Sunshine

Beti and Zavi
Orin and Siska - just love the background.
Two walks in Dinas (not Dinas Dinlle) in warm sunshine. We had a great time with all 4 getting time off lead. Orin was very lame yesterday, worryingly so on his front right, but he seems dramatically better on it today. I did give him some loxicom, and I'll give it to him again for the next two days.
Zeus and Sammi
Ross and Meerah
I then walked the other 4 on the outskirts of Fron and really enjoyed my morning. I wasn't keeping a check on the time and was gobsmacked to find it was going on for 1.30pm by the time I got back. Honestly, my stomach thought my throat had been cut, but I just didn't want to go home. I'm so blessed to have these wonderful places to walk.
After lunch I cleaned my van, this is the third time since I've had it, my word, did I clean the expert three times in 7 years? Well maybe, but I've never had anything as nice and I want to keep it looking this good. The Expert has failed its MOT. I'm not really sure what happens now, but no, it's not coming back here!!!! haha
