16th January

A very hard frost, which made things much better for the dogs, keeping them clean etc but no good for riding!
It would appear we cannot have everything.

The wretched wet weather has meant our garden has been under water or muddy for weeks, worse near the top so the dogs have to go through wet to find drier ground. It plays havoc with their paws and poor old Lexus has succumbed. He has been very miserable for the last day or two rarely coming out of his bed and struggling to walk barely making it to the garden before doing his business and then staggering back inside.
He would not let us look at his front right paw which was obviously the one which was very painful. That coupled with arthritis behind meant he only had one out of four working legs or feet, hence his difficulty moving!
So he had a visit to Auntie Jane who managed to persuade him to stay still long enough to discover a nail bed infection on his bad claw which he has already had treatment on and which is a legacy from his time in kennels.
When he had his nail cauterised 
He now has a course of antibiotics.


Angel is doing well and chased a ball a bit today. My Doctor friend said the fluid on her wound was called a Seratoma, as it is serum fluid, which sounds rather exotic.
