15th November:
We had decided that we weren't going to breed from Hannah therefore an operation to have her speyed would be best. We didn't make this decision lightly. We've had much loved bitches in our family before and, without exception they've suffered from various disorders when older.
Anyway she's been 'done' as they say. First question I have is...Where's the awful plastic collar that needs to be worn until stitches are removed?? Not necessary says vet. Just give her a sharp verbal rebuke if she starts licking!!
Changed days....it's lovely to have her home, the house was so quiet without her.......
6th November:
This is Hannah the animal who had us worried sick last night....and not because it was her first 'Fireworks Night'. Hannah like most of her breed will eat anything and always has her nose stuck somewhere it shouldn't be. Whatever she was poking about in yesterday caused an acute allergic reaction...her face went up like a balloon in around 60 seconds!!! Madam is fine after having an anti inflamatory steroid injection....Her first year has been most interesting. ( This photo was taken after her second attempt to catch a fish in our pond.)
Mike and I live in a lovely part of the world. We love the sea and the countryside and thankfully we have the time to enjoy both. A lot of what we see every day influences our work and we're both keen photographers.
