Month: October 2025

Ellie’s walk was over the fields in Eastry and she wanted to go further than we walked but we had her post op check up with Sorrell at the vets.

The receptionists at the vets make such a fuss of Ellie and feed her gravy bones. She is now 26.8 kg so very acceptable, seeing as we have been giving her extras, feeling sorry for her!

Sorrell checked Ellie all over and was impressed that she was almost back to normal and seemed very lively too. So good to hear. She has recommended hydrotherapy which we will look into and now we can get her gently back into always off lead and managing the stairs!! Yeah. We are very happy.

Last thing at night we tried to get her to walk up the stairs and she tried putting one leg forward and then the other and then she panicked, so we’ll try another day, Mal carried her up again!

Dentist (Canterbury) in the morning.  I had a very long chat with Zareen. Yes, she had received the letter from periodontal.  She informed me periodontal are no longer taking new patients countrywide!! We decided to have my tooth extraction in January as perio would not be operating for a long time, so she said she would draw up a “plan” for me.

I called in at the huge Canterbury Asda on the way home and was impressed by the ranges they carry.

A bit of a shock to receive an email from Cancer Research (to ALL volunteers) informing us that they will be closing 90 shops by May and up to 100 more in the following year. They sent it to all of us at the same time. Obviously then we are all contacting our Managers. Wouldn’t it have been a nicer way for the Managers to let us know face to face? Poor Jack with all of us getting in touch with him.  Thankfully ours is not one of them.
