Professor Noel Fitzpatrick The Supervet.


Hello everyone,

I would like to say a big woofing thank you to all the kind, lovely people who posted well wishes after my last post, I can't believe how many friends and followers I have.

I left you on a rather sad note last week because my vet had discovered something ominous on my X ray, well, the good news is.......the super-duper vet, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, looked at my X rays and said he didn't think it was the big C word. My diagnosis is complicated, my disabled leg is a bit of a mystery, even for a super-duper vet, I can't have a prosthetic elbow and a rod in my leg would make it permanently rigid, so, I have to take tablets to see if they will relieve any discomfort and get me using my leg more. My 'good' leg is doing lots of extra work to help my bad leg and we don't want that getting damaged! Most importantly, I have to keep nice and trim and people aren't allowed to give me treats, plus I mustn't scavenge around for food or fox poo, which is rather disappointing.

The Supervet is back with a new series and I watched it last night, it's one of my favourite programmes, but I'm not sorry that I don't have to stay at the hospital, no offence Noel.



Since the good news, mummy's been really happy and we've been having lot's of fun. I met a new friend at the beach called Matilda, she got all frisky with me, which was a giggle, although her mummy was very embarrassed, but whatever you do, don't tell George because he tends to get jealous when other dogs dominate me.



You'd never have guessed last weekend that snow was on its way, we had an al fresco lunch at the beach on Saturday and it was like a summer's day.


But, mummy had warned me that a Beast from the East was coming and I would need another new jumper and possibly some doggie Wellies. We went off to the shops and my luck was in! No doggie Wellies in stock, thank goodness. I did get a smart new jumper with pom poms though.





The Beast wasn't very beastly as it turned out, barely worth a new jumper, in fact, I went out a few times, naked!


But, guess what, today we had some proper snow, I did a double take when I saw it, then I barked at it, then I went out to explore and have a little taste.





What I like best about the snow is, after you've been out to play in it and got very cold, you spend the afternoon snuggling.


Well, I hope you all keep safe and warm, I'll finish with a photo of a 'me' lookalike with a Donald Trump hairstyle ha ha ha


Until next week,
Love and woofs,

Hi everyone, Well, what an exciting week I've had. A doggy food manufacturer got in touch with me and asked if I would like to be part of their advertising campaign.Trouble is, I don't eat processed dog food because it's often full of nasty things like condemned beef, rancid fat and stuff surplus to human consumption like hooves, tails, testicles and ears and general sweepings from the factory floor. Like humans, what we doggies eat affects our health (and our breath and I for one don't want dog breath.) We doggies have the same digestive system as a grey wolf and grey wolves don't go to the supermarket to buy junk food, they live on prey, fruit and vegetables. I eat a raw diet just like the grey wolf, fortunately I don't have to hunt for it because mummy puts it in my bowl. I am allowed certain treats like my carrot and apple biscuits and last weekend when we went out for lunch, daddy bought me a doggy ice cream which is made from natural ingredients, ...

Hey there, Well it's a quick hello & goodbye this week as I'm very busy getting ready for my holidays. Mummy and daddy are off to Spain, so I'm going to stay with my auntie Jeanie and uncle Keith. I've been to the groomers and had myself spruced up, fortunately this time I didn't have a J Lo cut which makes my bum look big, but my hair is very short, sometimes, I wonder if mummy does it deliberately because she tells daddy that we have to have the heating on full time in case I get cold. Last Saturday, just when we thought spring had arrived, it snowed again! We were at the beach and had to take cover in a lovely café where I made friends with another Shih tzu. He was a bit aloof so I tried to act all grown up when his mummy got out the treats, but you know me, I get all excited and go a bit giddy with it. On Sunday our garden was covered in snow, I was delirious with excitement. Mummy and I played snowballs, I didn't manage to catch any becaus...

Sorry not sorry.

Hi everyone Do you like the photo of me hiding under the decking? That was taken when I was a baby and mummy says that was a sure sign of things to come. I've always been a mischievous little dog, did I tell you about the time I stuck my head through a barbed wire fence to say hello to some goats? Well, unfortunately I scratched myself on the barbed wire but I didn't cry, even though I bled a little bit. Mummy was none the wiser, but a couple of days later when she was brushing me, she became hysterical and rushed me to the vets. Apparently she thought I had a terrible growth, but the vet just laughed and told mummy "it's only a scab" which she then flicked off with her finger. Daddy wasn't quite so amused as that scab cost him sixty pounds. This week I've had a couple of accidents, the first was when I was helping daddy in the garden, we were treating the fence and I thought I'd get my face right in amongst it, I was luminous green, that to...
