Twas the night before Christmas, and the winds are howling outside. I have done a village walk. Saw a lady who walks her two Beagles. The dogs recognise me even though I am snuggled in my furry hood. They know I am the treat lady. A lot of the dogs know they might get a treat. I have a few in my pocket, even when I am not walking a dog myself.
I have been cutting up fabric for the covers of the next batch of pet beds. There are nine waiting to be sewn together now.
I've been watching some yoootooob videos. Helicopter rides over Mount Everest, train journeys in snowy Norway, and the bullet trains in Japan. Fantastic entertainment.
Janet called round to see how Mayze is. I mentioned in a comment on the previous post that I had taken her to the vet. She has been off her food, and was looking quite lethargic. Not showing any interest in anything and sleeping a lot. Her coat was looking a bit patchy due to her constant grooming. The vet did a thorough check, took a urine sample, and a blood sample, and gave her an injection. She is camping out on the stairs at the moment, seems to like it there. I left her some food when I went to bed, it was gone this morning. Today she has been yelling at me for more food, so I think she is feeling better.
I've made a pan of stew so I'm going to eat some now. The rest will be for lunch and dinner tomorrow.
Enjoy your Christmas day. Toodle pip. ilona

DeleteMerry Christmas Ilona. Just wondering if you will be doing the walking challenge on 2024 please?
ReplyDeleteHello Anon. I have been thinking about that. My friend up the road told me he has reached his 1000 mile target. Maybe I ought to go for it again.
