Well it's not often you see 5 black labs dancing. I let them out for bedtime wee's and the 5 of them even Paddy with his bad leg shot up the garden going round and around circling something. Jemma being vocal as usual and pushing her nose in. When I got there it was a hedgehog 🦔 curled up. Once I chased the 5 of them away it peeked out and saw the dogs had gone and off it shuffled under the bushes. No wonder Jemma just pushed her nose in. She would not like the spines.

Jackie and I would like to wish a very HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY to BONNIE and CLYDE. Born this day in 2013. A litter of just two, but what a perfect pair they are!
We hope that they're both having a wonderful day, with lots of special treats, and lots of extra cuddles.
We send our love, as do our pack here in a very wet and windy Cumbria! ###

We're feeling sad. We brought Toyt home this afternoon. It's not much to show for such a precious life. We miss you Toyt, but you'll be reunited with JJ today.

It is with the greatest of sadness that Jackie and I have to report that beautiful Nelly crossed Rainbow Bridge yesterday after a mercifully very short illness.
We were absolutely knocked for six when we got this incredibly sad news. Poor Soph and family had no time to prepare themselves for this enormous sudden loss, and are naturally inconsolable.
Nelly was a big, daft, cuddly gorgeous girl, so like her late Mum Toyt. Not a care in the World. Looking at these lovely photographs, we also see her late Dad JJ. She was a one off. Everyone who knew her loved her. She leaves a space that can never be filled, and a family grieving her loss. However, she had the very best home, with a family who showered her with love, and though her life has been cut short, she received more love than many do in a full lifetime.
We send Soph our love, and our heartfelt sympathy. We know your pain all too well. I'm sure that many of those reading this will also be moved to offer their own thoughts and condolences.
Nelly, you left so soon after your Mum and Dad, and we can only think that they needed you on the far side of Rainbows Bridge.
You will remain in so many hearts gorgeous Nelly.

We're very pleased to say that Paddy had his cruciate ligament surgery to his other knee done yesterday. He was a little bit woozy when we got him home, no doubt from the anaesthetic. However, he managed to eat a generous helping of freshly cooked chicken and rice! He obviously wasn't keen to put much weight on that hind leg, but still managed to go out to toilet. He's had a hearty breakfast this morning, and considering the surgery, he's doing incredibly well.

Another very special day today! Jackie and I would like to wish a very HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY to:- EBONY, POPPY, INCA, CHLOE, ROXY, BAILEY, DAISY BOO, PEARL, MACK, DUKE, and last but certainly not least BRUCE.
We know that your families will be spoiling you more than usual today, so make the very most of all those lovely treats, and lap up all the extra love and attention.
We and our pack are sending you lots of love on your very special day ###

This year has been tough but it is going to get tougher. After The Duchess Toyt crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Monday we were back at the Vets 24 hours later. Paddy started to limp badly so rang the vet and took him through. He was limping on his good back leg. He had the cruciate ligament done last year on his back left leg.
The vet examined him and he confirmed what we were thinking, the cruciate ligament in his right has also gone so we had to book him in for the op next week. That means he will have to have 3 month rehabilitation. Life has not been so good to us so far this year.

This is one of the hardest posts that I've ever had to write. Toyt became ill on Friday night. We took her to the Vets first thing Saturday morning, and after an examination and treatment we returned home, where her condition improved. Sadly she deteriorated during the night, and we were back at the Vets yesterday morning. They decided to keep her in for further tests and treatment. Again there were real signs of recovery. However once again she deteriorated through the night. The Vet called us early afternoon today to say that her condition had worsened. We drove there immediately, knowing what we would have to do. When she saw us, despite her weakness she raised her head, glad that we were there. The Vet left us alone with her while, we said our very tearful goodbyes, then at our request she returned to complete her job whilst we petted, hugged and kissed our beautiful Toyt. She passed quickly and painlessly knowing how much she was loved, right to her last breath. She was such a character, and had the gentlest of souls. Everyone loved her, and in turn she loved everyone. She leaves a hole that can never be filled, and we're heartbroken. We count ourselves very blessed to have shared her life for 14 years though.
I can write no more at the moment.

Bless her old heart. I love Toyt more than I can express, but she certainly knows the very place to lie to cause me the maximum difficulty when I'm trying to prepare our dinner. She was fast asleep, and I just didn't have the heart to move her.
