So today, is my 5th passport birthday, happy birthday to me.

This year I've done loads, campervan holidays, shepherds hut hols and the amazing doggy holiday place in Ely, loved that one (so did Mum).

I've also had many an epidural for my poor old back, which is helping lots. I've got very noise sensitive over the year and have been a bit of a challenge, but am getting better slowly.

Although she's a pain in the bum, I love my sister Kali, we've had a lot of fun and plays and when I haven't been all that she gives me licks and snuggles.

Looking forward to a special dinner today.

Lots of love

Happy 3rd passport birthday, to my annoying little sister Kali.
She's a pain at times, but I do loves her and she always has my little bald back.

Hi all, Basil here.
So I had my epidural for my poorly back yesterday so now I'm sporting my bald back look again.

I was a bit noisy after the sedation. Apparently I was doing an impression of a wolf along with some yodelling. I'm going to be the next big thing, although my mum and dad didn't think so. I've got to have another epidural in a couple of weeks time and perhaps another one 3 weeks later.

Today I'm feeling better in myself and wanting lots of food, how dare they starve me for a morning.

Mum and Kali have had a few frosty walks without me, quite jealous.
Take care all
Love
Basil (with Kali) xx 🐾🐕🐾🐕

Hi everyone
Hope everyone is well.

Kali and I have been sooo lucky this week. We went to a fantastic place near Ely called Holidays With My Dogs for a few days and they catered for us and of course mum and dad and Aunty Kirsty
It had everything a dog could ask for, bowls, towels, poo bags, shampoo etc and even some scummy natural treats and a cookie to share. The hoomans had a hamper too which was good for them, we didn't want to be the only spoilt ones.

It also had 2 amazing fields which had ponds, trees, obstacles and hedgerows, mum loved it as it meant Kali could come off lead the whole time. She can be a bit nervous around some other dogs so has to be on long lines a lot or short leads. She's also a bit of a puller too. Kali nearly always had a teenage strop when we got back to the cottage as she wanted to mouse by the pond a lot of the time.

We always went back tired out and just slept all night.

We're home now, I think we may have overdone it, going to have to take it easy the next few weeks as I have to have another epidural on the 7th Feb for my back.

Have a lovely weekend all.
Lots of love

Hi Everyone
It's been a long time since I posted we've been very busy.
I had to post today as it's my sister's 2nd Gotcha day. Can't believe Kali (was Hope) has been here for that long, she's a pain in the bum, but we both loves each other lots.
Quick update from me my epidural has worked well and vets happy with my dodgy back, it's not going to get better but I'm not in any pain.
We've been in the camper a few times this year and we both love it and soon we are going to stay near Cambridge where there's a fields for us to play in and some chill time for mum and dad.
Merry Christmas all 🌲
Lots of love

Evening all!

Not sure what happened today, but ended up with a shaved back/bum and a blooming great dressing and wobbly legs.

Apparently I had an epidural for my poor old back at the V E T!!! Not keen especially as mum and dad left me.

All home now, been snoozing and making funny noises. Mum was worried about Kali as she does love a bonkers play, but she's been at my side since I've been home.

Hoping the steroid injection works so we don't have to go back 🤞

Take care from a woozy Basil xx 🐕🐾

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted, I've had a few things going on:-
- we went to Somerset in the campervan for a week and had a fab time, we had lovely walks and tried out a couple of secure dog fields which were amazing. We had outside BBQs too, Kali wasn't sure about the BBQ though.
- I've been diagnosed with Lumbosacral disease and started hydrotherapy, I'm not great on the hydro treadmill but slowly getting there with it.
- because of my back I've got to take it steady so no jumping and running around so Kali and I have had separate walks as she's bonkers, but do go to dog fields as I can mooch around.
- I had a check up with the vet and I'm still struggling with my back so he upped some meds, unfortunately it upset my tum so had to come off them, so now I've got to have an epidural this week.
- although Kali and I are from Cyprus we are not keen on the hot weather, so I've commandeered the fan on several occasions.

Mum says I've been a big brave boy through this and even Kali is keeping an eye on me, coming back to check if I'm ok. She's alright for an irritating little sister 😉.

Here's a few photos of us over the past couple of months

Love to all
Basil and Kali 🐕🐕🐾🐾xx

Happy Friday all!

We've been on holiday this week, we had soo much fun.
We went in March and loved it so much we went back again hoping for warmer weather. It was warmer but a couple of days a bit wet.
Kali, I and the hoomans had our lovely private lake to gaze over, watching the ducks, geese and heron. We also had fab walks all around and there was lovely meadow grass for lots of zoomies.
We got a bit hot 🥵 the first day so had our cooling bandanas on and hid under the shepherds hut to keep cool. We had a mini do**he around the shallow bit of the lake too.
We weren't brave enough to go on the paddle board or the rowing boat, but did enjoy watching auntie Kirsty on the paddle board and mum and dad falling out the rowing boat 😂😂.
There is a firepit there with a lovely store for wood, where Kali and I searched for mices for ages 🐁.
We met the farm donkeys 🫏 too, one liked me a lot we rubbed noses, Kali wasn't sure and just wanted to find the mice.
We are big fans of the sun loungers often beating the hoomans to them in the morning, we loved just watching the birds and fish 🐟🐟 jumping in the water.
On the wet day we went to a garden centre not Kali's favourite but she did very well.
On the last day Kali did her meerkat stance as she does when deer 🦌 are about and we tried to chase it unfortunately we were both on long lines and had hoomans attached so no luck.
Anyway back now and soon tired after our time away, we're snoozing in the sun.
Holidays are very,very tiring.
Lots of love
Basil and Kali 🐕🐕♥️♥️🐾🐾

Hi Everyone
It's my passport birthday today 🥳🎂 I'm 4 now, where did that time go.

Today I've taken it easy as it's been a busy few days, I don't think I've shared but when I was at the vets last time they told me I've got a degenerative back problem, so not allowed to run full out or go upstairs, apart from bedtime.

Auntie Jenny came down over the weekend and I love entertaining (mum says I'm showing off, don't know what she means 😉).

I had a walk with Kali this morning, she went bonkers and flew after a squirrel 🐿️ but she came back well.

We then went to mine and Kali's favourite cafe where they do the bestest sausage rolls, which we all shared and we even had a puppachino ☕with dog treats in it.

Went home and had a snooze 😴 💤 as mum made me a birthday liver cake with primula topping 🎂, yum, yum. Unfortunately, gutso Kali pinched most of it, but mum had a spare bit for me.

Then a tootle to nan and grandad's for treats and I even got a birthday card.

Now I'm tired and need to recover from the excess.

Loads of love
Basil and Gutso Kali xx 🐶🐾❤️

Hope Everyone had a lovely Easter 🐇🐣. Me and Kali did, we had extra doggo treats, we are so spoilt.

Unfortunately, my leggy is playing up again and I'm on the old painkillers but tomorrow I've got to go to the V.E.T, for x-rays, apparently I'm going to be very sleepy so they can look at it, hopefully we will be told what it could be. Mum says it will probably be expensive but I'm worth every penny.

I'm on short walks atm, but we did go to the dog natural pool today, which is not too bad for me and I love saving the decoy ducks and toys. I even made a little nest for the duck in the wooded bit. Mum says I'm a very special boy.

Hoping tomorrow goes ok, and they find out what it is.

Take care all
Love
Basil and Kali xx 🐶🐾

Hi Everyone
It's been a little while since I last posted.

I'm doing well, although, not enjoying this wet and muddy weather. A lot of my fave places are underwater so walks are tricky, especially as I'm still a bit nervous on road walks since those horrible fireworks frightened Kali and I.

We've been very lucky the last 3 days we all went for a little break, mum, dad, Kali, auntie Kirsty and I.
It was amazing, we had two huts next to a lake, with a little bit of grass that was secure for Kali and I. Right next to this was a big field we could play and run on. There were loads of walks and a lovely farm shop with a cafe very close, Kali and I shared a cheese scone with mum, we went again today and had a sausage roll I'm a pig for them, but Kali is worse than me.

It was also Kali's 2nd birthday on Sunday, and as a treat we had some steak which Kirsty cooked on the BBQ. Yum yum!!

We loved looking over the lake and watching the ducks and geese fly in it was like having a TV to watch. The only bird we were excited about and gave a little bark to was a heron.

We were tired most nights and crashed out. As soon as we got home we just headed for bed and didn't wake up for a good few hours.

It's lovely to get away but I do love my own bed.

Keep safe and well

Love
Basil and Kali 🐶🐶🐾🐾♥️♥️
