Have you considered a human mattress?

Other than SLO making them brittle, not a clue 🤷‍♀️.

A hole on one side? I get. Two sides? I do not.

She had it on anther one too, but bigger.

Just spotted a photo from her 2nd month of SLO:

Oh, this one is more recent and looking straight down

I actually need to get a newer photo of the vertical one, but this kind of gives an idea of what it looked like earlier this year...

These are of a recent loss, it just detached from the claw bed.

Blue arrow was where it was attached, the purple arrow shows where there was a hole going all the way through. You can see how diseased the surface of the claw is.

I found you some photos.

These are her quicks after claws have come off relatively peacefully, the 3rd one shows the claw separating from the quick as it was splitting.

So, I'm not saying we've been busy, but here's Daddy's calendar for taking us 3 (red) and Ally (blue) to appointments so far this year...

We didn't mark days where he had two vet appointments on the same day 😬🫣.

I had a brother Freddy, he'd clean the wee off my leg for me ☺️❤️🌈

Hi guys ❤️

We'd love to hear how everyone has been whilst we've been away causing mischief.

Here's my triumph over the No Dogs rule that came with mummy's new chair...

Nina: My back claw did too much partying and fell off on New Years Day 😭

This is one of my 'I know you're taking my photo, but I don't know why' looks.

Grass? Mud? Don't know what you're talking about!

NiNaw's in a 'sharing the big bed with Ally' phase, and she's being exceedingly generous.

Last night, she let Ally use her (NiNaw's) white quilt & she did move that front leg enough to let Ally on to the edge.

We've been well quiet lately, but we're back and ready to face the New Year as we mean to go on: stocked up with treats, hoarding cuddly toys, and napping.

This is us today with our #HoundieSanta2024 gifts 🎁.

Ally lost NiNaw this morning.

Luckily though, NiNaw popped her head out of the bed, making her collar jingle.

Turning on the light revealed this...

Now, I wouldn't like to tarnish NiNaw's dognity, but...

Poorly toe bathing (#SLO) involves my mummy stirring a jug of disinfectant with NiNaw's paw whilst singing "stirring the pot, stirring the pot".

Bonus line tonight "cooking the leg, cooking the leg".

My pawrents took Dylan on a big family holiday with my siblings & niblings.

I've been a bit sad, off my food & whining quietly to myself at bedtime.

I did feel like a bit of Mr Ducky savaging today though.

Personally I think I should've gotten more than 2 gravy bones for putting up with this...

Ally's treating the family to extracts from Dylan's vet history. Two of her favourites are:

Ally's pinched Dylan's armchair out from under my bottom. I'm reduced to a dog bed 😮‍💨.
March 2, 2024 at 7:32 PM
Just before I sent Ally a wave of love 🐕💨
February 22, 2024 at 6:13 PM
She might not get up when I want her to, but she doesn't hog the whole bed 😊.
February 15, 2024 at 8:38 PM
That feeling when your daddy has left you forever and ever for his Wednesday games night.
February 14, 2024 at 9:53 PM
Mummy said to Daddy just before taking us for a walk: if we have to try and save a dog from blowing away, make it Dylan.

Apparently I'm too shouty, and NiNaw's too expensive 😐.

NiNaw and I say talk to the paw 😤.

This is not where Ally left her winter duvet last night when she switched to her summer one...

Okay, so 𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 the fire on full is too hot for full body whippets...
