Blog post No 21. Spa Day.

Hello

 

I have been to my groomer again and I have to say I think I look rather dapper.

I even received a posh red bow tie to wear.

I am always very happy when I go there.

Smile and say "cheese"

Blog post No 20. Have you missed me?

 Hello

I have been rather lazy and not been putting my paws to the keyboard to update my blog.

I am not a fan of winter and prefer to stay in the warm, sit by the fire,  do nothing and just stir for my snacks and meals.

I did have a Spa day to keep my coat in tip top condition. Nothing too drastic as I needed to keep warm when I went outside.

Before and After

`````````````

Unfortunately,  during the past few months,  I have had a few problems with my left ear.

It became a little red,  I didn't shake my head or scratch my ear, but my foster family decided to get me checked out.

Now as you may remember I love going to the Vets.

I do tend to forget my manners and pull whoever is on the other end of my lead into the waiting room.

It is such a great place to go to, rooms full of humans who love to come over and tell me how gorgeous I am and give me cuddles. 

After all my cuddles a nice vet lady took me into a room where I could stand on a table and give her lots of kisses. 

She looked into my ear and unfortunately diagnosed that I had an ear infection and she couldn't even see my ear drum. She took a swab, which wasn't very comfortable, and it was found that I had a bacteria in my ear, apparently it was a friendly bacteria and treatable with lots of special ear drops.

We toddled off home with ear wash and ear drops and crossed our paws the antibiotics would work. 

I was not that keen on having them twice a day but I did sit there like a very good boy knowing I was going to have tasty chicken treats when it was all done.

I have been going back to the Vets at regular intervals for check ups and more ear drops so that my left ear will remain healthy. I have another appointment next week and will let you know how I get on.

Off out for a little potter now.

I have a Spa Day booked for next week, so I will look handsome again.

I can confirm I am not fat, no pounds gained during the winter months,  just a lot of fur!
