Guess who said no to her breakfast (again)?
Guess who is wandering around like a wet weekend feeling very sorry for herself, while making wretching noises and constantly asking to go outside with her tail between her legs?
Well, obviously not Ted – he’s on fighting form, happily eating anyone’s unwanted breakfast/supper/tea/bedtime snacks, etc. Ted, the actual dog dustbin. I have yet to find anything he doesn’t eat – even broccoli stalks.
Luckily, the excellent on-site nursing staff are very atttentive and taking good care of our utterly miserable patient.
I am not neglecting Pepper either. Today she has had slippery elm, albeit unwillingly, two good sleeps and has now managed to choke down a little bit of boiled chicken, from my fingers – apparently she can’t eat out of her bowl anymore. OH even went to town (for supplies) via the vet and collected some Promax (probiotic paste). I bought some pumpkin powder online too. I can’t think of anything else.
It is a bit all or nothing with Pepper.

Oh dear! Poor old Pepper! Glad the nurse is taking his responsibilities seriously,though.
Poor baby, she does look very sorry for herself.
Oh goodness! Poor Pepper – she certainly looks so sorry for herself. I wonder what she’s been eating that she shouldn’t this time? At this rate she might find herself wearing a muzzle when she goes wandering. I hope sshe recovers quickly and gets back to her usual cheerful self. xx
Oh, those are miserable ears. Get well, Pepper!
Oh dear….Pepper is not looking good. What happened to her?
Praying she will be much better soon.
What a majestic photo of Ted!
Poor old Pepper, picture of misery
It’s comforting knowing that Penny has a 24/7 nurse on duty in the guise of Monster permanently dressed in ‘nursing whites.’ Evidently, I read Penny’s lastest outloud because she was joined in tummy upsets by Annie our rescue labradoodle. Unlike Penny, Annie will be ill, but because she is half lab, she will immediately be ready to eat. Penny brilliantly allows her stomach to rest; Annie, oh well…
About the amethyst buttons (which are gorgeous, btw), you probably have a small fortune in that amazing Siberian amethyst color. The joke of labeling amethysts as semi-precious is that they command the same price grouping as precious gems, especially the deep purple Siberian color. Since they have sentimental attachment, a good jeweler could convert them to earrings & rings or pendants for you & your girls. The Shetlands probably don’t have many billionaire galas, but as a typical Floridian whose daily costume is shorts & t-shirts, I still like to wear sentimental pieces of jewelry to remind me of lovely people & times past.
