I really would have liked a lie in this morning but as I had to take Tot to the vet I was up at 8.00 and was really feeling the after effects of last night.
The vet suggested that Tot's bad leg is more to do with her being bored and I think he might be right as it always comes up after a spell in kennels. He gave her an injection, some pills and a tube of cream. He also suggested a couple of toys for her. One is a giggle ball that you put dry food in and as she plays with it the food drops out. You can make the hole smaller as she gets used to it. The other is a rubber tube you put a dollop of peanut butter in so she can smell it but not reach it and this distracts her from licking her paw. All told it cost me $135!!!
We got back and I tried her with the ball and she loves it and it kept her happy for a long time while we went out for breakfast a good remedy for hangovers but I had to drive as Jon and Heather had a lot more to drink than I did.
We got back and Jon went into the garden to at last try out the new mower. I gave Tot her second new toy but as I had no peanut butter I smeared honey inside. She was not as impressed with it as the ball but did play with it for a while. Hopefully, they will do the trick.
Heather and I watched some TV in between me hanging some washing out and then Heather went shopping to buy Emma a present for her birthday on Monday. I watched more TV and did intend to do my ironing but was too tired.
The garden is looking much better now and Jon is enjoying it. We have a few places we need to secure to keep Tot in so once that is done I will be happy to sit out there with her.
We had a bbq tonight but Jon had to cook it in the rain as we had a heavy shower. I have never known such bad weather in December.
Heather went to bed early and Jon was tired and went to bed and I was left to do the dishes as I had had a sneaky ten minute nap this afternoon.
Tot is very tired, too so hopefully the new toys are working.
