As Billy Connolly Said ...

"It's all a ghastly nightmare ..." I really don't like complaining about the weather, I'm mostly happy to accept seasonal weather, well apart from heat which makes me ill, but really, this is just a bit much! Wind, rain, drizzle and repeat, it's honestly starting to get me down. Wet dogs, wet bedding, wet towels. A river running through the yard and pooling at the gate as it has nowhere to go with the moat around the van also full. The cottage is turning green again and there's mud all over the doors from the Blaniks opening them every time I try to shut them out. It was dry this morning at 7.30am, the sky even looking promising, but by 9am we had been swallowed by a thick damp mist, by 10am it was raining again!
Loki seems Ok, he ate as normal this morning, but oddly Beti didn't finish hers today and Orin didn't want his treats at bedtime. Meerah is really not eating enough, but I refuse to play the game and I'll leave her to it for the time being. Beti did it too and got over it with time. 
Ross and the chuckit didn't work, but we have found a solution. A floating orange kong will stay in the van for walks and I've put the rope off the broken orange one in a black kong, well so far so good, he seems to like it. The black ones are supposed to take more abuse, they've never really been a favourite here, so we'll see how long it lasts now that he has decided he likes it!
