Well, as it turns out, very.
Yesterday we were trying to work out when Wilbur was ill last year so I looked through the blog and found out (July) and I read another post around that time where I was talking about Daisy and now she had ‘no fetch instincts whatsoever’. So not sure when that all changed, but it obviously did. She could quite happily play fetch all day and night. Ian had to do some ball throwing duties on our walk as I had worn my arm out and couldn’t throw!
And I was browsing through earlier in the year where I was musing about Ludvig and predicting he wouldn’t be a very chatty parrot. Obviously little did I know what was about to come!
Sam has been poorly again – he’s had another set of seizures and we have said we wouldn’t let him go through another cluster. But the challenge is to know when it is going to be a cluster, and when there is just two or three which seems to be his pattern. Anyway, he came out of them quite quickly and is walking OK and knows his name, when it’s food time… but we think if he has another now we’ll take him to be put to sleep as I think that would suggest it’s going to be a cluster. He is sleeping peacefully now, so we’ll see what happens.
When I was looking through the blog, I noticed that it was this time last year when Pixie was going to the vet because of her fur loss. She’s now almost completely refurred – except for one small patch on her tail.
In other news, new covid measures are being introduced in Extremadura today. Smoking is now banned in public unless people can maintain social distancing, big gatherings can only be held by application and a whole tranche of measures to do with care homes.
The vast majority of the new cases are in Madrid, Aragon and Cataluña and among young people – but our mayor sent us a ‘stay vigilant’ message to keep Villagarcia virus free!
