I’m really grateful to Gypsy for teaching me that phrase. It’s a really useful phrase. And this is an Oh Poo Week. Monday I got carted off to see this specialist vet – it was miles and miles away. I seemed to be in the car forever! Talking of which, I’m refusing to get in that car now – I’ve worked out that every time I do end up at the vet being pulled about.
So, we get to the vet and waited around to see him. There was a nice black lab in there, but he didn’t seem to want to say hello to me, so I kept persuading Dad to take me outside for a sniff around while we waited. The vet was very nice – we were with him ages while he talked to Mum & Dad and looked at the photos of the bones in my leg (people take photos of the strangest things, if you ask me – I mean, who would want a photo of the bone in my leg?). Then Mum put me up on his examining table and he pulled me around again. And it really, really hurt, I can tell you.
After that Mum & Dad left and the vet (who’s called Ian) took me through to their hospital, where I and to wait around all day as I was the last dog he saw. Anyway, not content with the photos he already has of the bones in my leg, he took some more!!! Which involved yet another anaesthetic. Hey! Hasn’t anyone ever heard that too many anaesthetics can be bad for a little dog?
Well, I thought I was going to have an operation, but when I woke up I was just the same. Turns out that agreed with Mum & Dad that they would take me back on Friday. Apparently my operation might turn out to be bigger than he thought.
So tomorrow, I’ve got to go through it all again!!! I don’t suppose I’ll write anything for a little while now while I get better, but I’ll try and let you know how I get on before Christmas.
Otherwise Mum took me over the Heath for a walk yesterday. I haven’t been there for months. It was so good, and it was nice and warm and sunny too. And I met a really nice young dog that I was allowed to have a bit of a play with. I was pretty tired and my leg hurt when I got home though. Still, it was worth it.

HI Jez. I certainly will be thinking of you tomorrow....and Mum and Dad too. It is almost as hard on them as on you.
I look forward to your update when you are feeling better. Take care, Jez.
All the very best for a great result from tomorrow’s op. We will all be thinking of you all even Millie who is staying with her friends at present because her Mum’s are still not well enough to look after her properly. Much love. xxx
Hi Judy & Linda,
I hope you get better soon - it's horrible not feeling well and Millie will be missing you.
Kisses, Jez
