I hate writing BeAnne health updates – especially if I am saying how well she is doing – because I swear she reads this blog and then her health takes an instant nose-dive and we end straight back at the vets in tears.
Anywho, deep breath, these are some photos from yesterday.
Her Maj, although now a bit of a heft, is still with us and, more importantly, enjoying life.
(possibly this photo is one of my most favourites – it sums her up perfectly)
And this is Her Maj running after a bunny she thought she saw (who knows). Once a small dog known for her speed (think baked bean shot out of a canon – she was after all brought up by a very fast lurcher), BeAnne now appears to runs on the spot and is banana shaped – like a cartoon dog. There is not much mileage covered anymore and absolutely no speed, but the enthusiasm is certainly there. A joy to watch. She makes me smile.
Our forays into the hill are not very long and on the way back, I always say hello to the old men as we go passed their field.
Iacs with his Silly Frilly for his fans.
And I shouted “Oi, Piggy” and Haakon instantly looked up with his “yes? What do you want?” face!
So that’s us. Please don’t read this blog BeAnne. I can’t face the downward slide now that I’ve said with a huge amount of trepidation, that you seem to be happy.
Frances, BeAnne is so cute. I adore her. How old is she now? I’m so glad she’s hanging in there and seems to be happy. You take such good care of your 4 legged wards.
Give BeAnne a hug for me. I know she is loved. I always look for info about her in all your posts. Thanks for the update on her.
Thank you. She is 14 now but has to live forever. She knows the deal.
Nice to know Haakon thinks he is a pig. As for a certain round cannon ball after bunnies…carry on with what you are doing as it seems to be working. I have walked the chronic illness road before – take the joys where they come. The rest can wait. Happy Bunny hunting!
ME! ME!!! IACSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Silly billy frilly!!!!! MWAAAAA! And BeAnne? it goes without saying she’s the most loved!
That’s all we really want with our dogs, isn’t it – that they are happy. Remembering that they’re just going through life one moment at a time, and have no concept of aging, just doing what they (still) can do.
We have to be happy/loving around them, otherwise they think something is wrong. Dogs will pick up your mood so easily…
She’s happy, so you have to be happy; and if she’s not feeling so happy, that’s where the loving tenderness comes in.
(Sorry this is so serious; I’ve been through this so many times, it just came pouring out)
You are so right. Spot on (and thank you) xx
Well, BeAnne looks great to me and I hope she’ll be feeling that way for quite a long time to come.
The old men look pretty darn good too! Thanks for the pics!
Where is that darned rabbit, do you suppose?
