R.I.P Peppa

We said goodbye to Peppa last night. Her ailments associated with old age just got the better of her in a matter of weeks. At 15.5 years old we think she had a pretty good innings.

See ya Pep. You and I were never the best of friends but you were a lovely dog to have around for babies and small children. And Matt is missing you a whole lot.

Kennel Cough

My darling Eddie had developed for himself a case of doggie flu. The vet has him on some medication, along with cough syrup (!) and has recommended he be quarantined (Kennel Cough is highly contagious) with no exercise for 3 weeks. How do I convince Eddie of this?

I'm thinking of making him some chicken soup.

Meanwhile we play a wait and see game with Peppa, our 15 year old Whippet and hope she doesn't get it. Though the odds aren't in her favour...
