The last goodbye

 

Sadly I have to tell all Rosie's friends she did not recover from her illness and is now in her
 "forever resting place"

The long time Rosie Blog has ended.

To update you all on Rosie's condition, she has an infection, high temperature, anemia plus her liver and kidneys are compromised. Rosie is now 14 years old. Fortunately a strong dog who has really not  been ill in the 12 years+ she has been with us. It is only the last few days she has shown any sign of illness becoming a bit lethargic and after a fall on Friday did not eat her food nor did she want to get out of bed.

Currently she is on a drip and being given antibiotics etc.  We hope for the best and believe her strength will pull her through this issue.

This is Daisy......

Hello, Daisy here....
I have to tell all Rosie blog readers that Rosie last night had a bit of an accident and fell downstairs.  The last few days she has not been well but after the fall clearly she has got worse with breathing difficulties and this morning did not want to eat or get out of her basket.

My people have taken her to the dog doctor and after examination and several blood test they have kept her in the dog hospital.  She is having fluid infusions and my people have to go back on Monday to see how she reacts to treatment that will be given over the weekend.

Please wish Rosie gets well quick...................

 

River walk

 

Well I thought for a change I would get the Guv to take a quick movie of our morning walk this morning. The only thing is I'm missing!  I do see though Daisy got in the picture......

What's cooking

Lots of good smells in the human food room this morning.
The missus has been cooking a load of kidney, heart, liver and beef for us.  That means good breakfasts for Daisy and me, mind you even I could not eat all that in one go!

 

It's my birthday

It's my 14th birthday today !

Not too sure I like this old age thing as in human years this would make me 98 years old.   
That is even older than the Guv !

 

Happy New Year

I want to wish all my blog readers and canine friends a very
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Please though do not buy or set off fireworks tonight as

it frightens so many of my canine friends.  Likewise do
not send up into the air lanterns as the wires fall to the ground

often in fields where cattle and other livedstock graze.

SAVE that money and perhaps make a donation to your

local rescue center.....start the New Year right!

 

Daisy, lap dog

 

Well Christmas was spend rather quiet here in France with my people but both Daisy and I were treated to a bit of duck for dinner!
Mind you as you can see Daisy tended to "hog" the Guv all the time
Me......well I just slept dinner off !

Happy Christmas

The Guv asked me to publish HIS blog today as for some reason Facebook has banned him from doing so !!

My Christmas day blog

This Christmas day's dog walk early morn

Gave me time to think when Christ was born,

When kings traversed the lands afar

Just guided by one loney star.

The inns were full, no rooms existed
But Joseph he continually insisted
and space was found in that stable forlorn
Where the Christ child soon was to be born.

How lucky we are in life today,
Our children are not born in that way.
Except if you live under human oppression
In countries where dicators rule with agression.

So give a thought on this special day
To those that suffer in that way.
Mankind must live without division
No matter what colour, nationality or religion!
