I am really not well.

At the hospital

06/04/2023

Miserable. I have pneumonia *and* an enlarged heart! On antibiotics for the first, going for scans at the hospital on Monday for the heart thing.

Got attacked by a random Porto mutt this morning. This is me safely back at the ranch after much squealing and running away - a little shocked but uninjured. Still expect lots more treats today.

Another warm one...

Saying hello to the free-range chickens from the homeless camp in the woodland.

We had the madness of a Christmas walk in torrential rain in a Santa Baby jacket. This is how I get dry

Still a Christmas Pudding, but someone put out the red carpet.

Christmas pudding is dangerous for dogs, but here I am ...

I've been hanging out on a vineyard - it rained a lot.

Happy Christmas!

Christmas, the time of year when you lose your dignity.

Finally raw steak day in the Barney Advent!

02/12/2022

You will recall last year's Advent Calendar was the countdown laid out each day in raw steak. This year it is Xmas baubles which randomly contain homemade biscuits or on better days a ticket which leads to a lovely raw meal platter. They seem to think it is cute for me to move the bauble about before they open it. Doesn't seem right to me. The Spirit of Christmas is Raw Steak in my view.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

23/11/2022

They actually promised when we left Manchester for Portugal that I'd never have to walk in the rain again. Well, it's rained all week and I got wet on every walk. Sun is back today. And I have my new squeaking pig toy from Marsha.

21/10/2022

Just back from the Vet-Dentist. Lost 7 teeth. Gave me an opioid painkiller so I have no idea what is happening.

30/09/2022

Visited Coimbra. This is me at the Fountain of Tears. Generally, I stay away from moving water.

Morning!

On my way to the Vet for my annual vaccinations and checkup.
