My mate Skye
Posted: 01 Mar 2018, 00:23
Today was my mate Skye's 10th birthday.
I'd made an appointment at our vet for a routine health check and to pick up supplies of flea treatment and wormers but wasn't bothered because he loves the fusses he gets from the nurses.
After breakfast we had a good walk and then home for Skye's second breakfast (he thinks he's a Hobbit) then off to the vets.
Unfortunately he came home with a haircut because they found a slight heart murmer and did an ultrasound to check. Nothing too serious, luckily, just age related but worth the check. He brought home a blue squeaky dinosaur called Rex which he chose from the toy display as a consolation.
When we got home though he wouldn't settle and kept paceing between the kitchen and lounge. I thought he was having a senior moment and had forgotten he'd been fed until I realized that it was me having the senior moment cos I'd forgotten to make myself some lunch. As soon as I'd made a sandwich and drink he settled down for a good snooze on the settee.
Happy Birthday Skye and thanks for looking after me.
Lots of love from your dad Paul
