18 months on from an unexpected diabetes diagnosis - that flew in the face of the really conscientious diet he’d enjoyed over the prior decade - I’m happy to say this old timer is doing great :)
Thanks :)
He was getting very lethargic, and was drinking increasing amounts of water - in hindsight, two telltale signs. The vet diagnosed things fairly rapidly, after which it has been a case of insulin twice daily and medicated food. I monitor his levels now with Diastix (both better and cheaper than having the vet do bloods), and it’s just a matrix of keeping on top of bodyweight, exercise, and meds. But he’s doing great; it seems that the prognosis for canine diabetes depends a lot on what effort you’re prepared to put in.
Thanks for the info. Very useful.
Just had second jab.

Not mine but she’s my best mate’s dog whom I got to know very well. Daisy passed away today and she was so kind and lovable. RIP

RIP Daisy.
My brother’s dog, same breed, same name, died this year as well. She was also lovely.
Over a year has passed, he is now almost 1 and a half, so I guess he is fully grown .
Just picked him up from the dog groomers for his "haircut!"..Quickly grows though!
He is still as dopey as he was! Lovely dog though, really friendly and no nastiness in him at all!
Another one from this morning
Just at the foot of that hedge he flushed a pheasant last week, so he checked in case it was back.

Freddie had to have an operation on his knee for a torn cruciate ligament couple of weeks ago. Not a happy bunny. Just allowed to have the collar off now, so looks a bit happier!
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
We picked this little lady up this morning. She seems very well adjusted. Happy to snuggle up and sleep in the car on the way home and confident enough to commandeer Mabel’s toy box.

Driving down to Aberystwyth tomorrow morning to pick up this gorgeous boy.
What a couple of adorable pups!
OT, but this is where the dog lovers hang out, so may I present to you:

Winnie is settling in nicely, she does love falling asleep on feet!
Monty is 14 today. A bit senile and not as sprightly as he once was.He still loves life and his peeps.

These 2 know they're not allowed in the dining room while I'm eating. They are testing the limit with their heads over the line! But, they're typically good boys all round...

It's been a not so fun evening. This little sh1t decided to steal some dark chocolate, a trip to the vet to induce some vomiting and a nice £220 bill. At least he's feeling very sorry for himself, he can't bring himself to look at me!
