I've had a really good day - a nice long walk this morning - lots of chasing the ball and bringing it back - I could do that all day long - great fun. I love to be out in the fresh air - not many dust mites around to bother me there!!! The one thing I really don't like is that wet stuff that comes from the sky - it takes a lot of persuasion to get me outside when that stuff is around. It's alright for my sister Millie - she is like a labrador bear with a lovely fluffy undercoat as well as lots of hair on top of that. I remain a little challenged in that area - not much hair on my tummy or legs because I still keep nibbling it out but I do think my immunotherapy might be starting to help - I had my third one today and in a couple more times I will be up to my maximum dose. Mum seems to think that I am better than I was (the vet wasn't quite so optimistic but paws crossed and all that) and is so pleased that, apart from some special drops for my eyes, I have not needed any special medication other than a good doggy dose of piriton which also seems to help the itching a little bit too.... I had lots of little extra treats today and now I'm really tired, so I'll say goodbye for now. Mum took some pics ( a bit dark 'cos they were done on the phone - and I don't think she's worked out how to use it properly yet!!) and decided to put them on as we know how everyone likes pics on here.... The lighting is probably a little more flattering for me at the moment anyway - not that it matters 'cos everyone I meet is always telling me how cute I am.... 
Pip.xxxYep! we've had the fire lit for a good few evenings now!
We look sad don't we? (works every time for a treat!!) but we are just very tired and it takes mum ages to get us to be still long enough for a pic!
I'm so glad you enjoyed your birthday with your gorgeous sister.
from me to you Pip
Happy belated 3rd Birthday Pip.
