Another eventful week

It has been another eventful week: after getting her stitches out Angel decided to celebrate

by having a mad five minutes doing high speed laps of the garden.

She returned indoors with a big grin and a squashy lump on her shoulder.

Which meant returning to the vets and getting needles stuck in the lump to

siphon off most of the fluid.

She is supposed to be resting, but we went for a short lead walk up at the

Open Air Museum,

working on the principle that if the Madwoman doesn't take us out at all, then we'll

probably do more damage entertaining ourselves by having races up and down

the stairs and hurdling the sofa.

We found that someone had created some very neat mini haystacks in the cherry orchard. 

Angel carefully checked them out before declaring them a safe vole-free zone. 

 And then had a roll around on the grass while the Madwoman screeched ineffectively about not damaging anything else wriggling around in her harness ...

 

Unstitched!

Well the good news is that the stitches are now out,

the protective pj's are off at last and we can get back to

proper walks and running like the wind again.

No comments please about the big baldy patch or jokes about comb overs.

The Madwoman has already done that.

Although we've heard that roast turkey, taken in sufficient

quantity, is a well-known hair restorer.

You can send us as much of that as you like.

 

 

Brrrrr

Unseasonably cold.

Angel is quite glad to have her pj's on, even if the real reason is to keep her from unpicking her stitches rather than keeping her warm.

And even then she's lying snuggled up to the radiator, toasting her toes on it.

Stitched up again

We have skin like rice paper according to The Madwoman: we think she's referring to the fact that it tears easily.
Angel snagged herself on something last week and had to go to the vet for stitches. So we missed seeing the unicorn at the Open Air Museum during its enchanted evening last
weekend, and had to stay at home instead. And apart from going into the garden for a wee - on a lead - we can't even go for a walk anywhere ...



 Bored ... So boooorrrrrred ...

Really BORED!

All dressed up and nowhere to go

Angel got a hole in her side yesterday and had to go to the vet to get it stitched up. It's only a little perforation, but did need the stitch. It's the price we pay for being so beautiful - rice paper thin skin that snags and tears easily.

So, dosed up with Arnica we went to the vet's where Angel was given a local anaesthetic and then had a mattress stitch inserted. Throughout the whole thing she never said a word, but did look like she was sucking on a lemon.

She is now dressed in a Polo shirt of the Madwoman's to help keep her from nibbling at the stitch. And reclining a la Elizabeth Barrett on the sofa awaiting treats and visiting well wishers.

Especially treats.
