Happy Easter to one and all! As you can see, we were not so sure about the bunny ears but treats were in the offing, so how could we refuse?!
We are in good form and pleased that the gardening season is coming around once again. Spring has already sprung, in the form of many fast flying footballs through the daffodils – Mama has a nice vase of these now and says we are such good dogs for thinking of her!
The slaves discovered that Bonnie’s weight gain, lethargy and depression were not due to food intake but actually due to an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). The vet said she is the third Scottie he has come across with this and it is often genetic. So, after blood tests (Bonnie reckons they extracted gallons!
) and a trial on pills, her energy levels are now greatly improved. The weight has also dropped off (Mac is making up for it!) and she is super slim; the downside is staying on the pills for life. There was also a hair loss issue on her back which was treated at the same time and was probably related. Bonnie got very tired of Mac saying “Here comes Baldilocks and the three hairs”, so is very glad her hair has returned! Her appetite has not been affected at all and for the last few days she has been working her way through the home-made compost mulch in the garden…! The eggshells add a nice bit of crunch apparently but a little more seasoning would be preferable. Mac and Bonnie xxx

Love the recent photos…a very happy boy indeed! Well Alice, great to hear you are settling into foster life and what lovely photos of a pampered pooch! You were certainly very excited leaving the pound and fascinated at all the views out of the car windows! You even managed time for a shoulder cuddle along the way.
Looking forward to hearing how you are getting on….sounds as though you have your lovely foster family under your paw already! So very sorry to hear this. Words cannot comfort you at this time but please know that you are being thought of. It sounds as though Baylee lived her short life to the fullest and has certainly left her pawprint on your hearts and Flynn and Evey too.
Macey, ask your foster Ma to get some bananas for next time – you need to widen your fruit scope! Clever girl!
