I am delighted to report that Purdey Pup is back home where she belongs - queening it in the middle of her adoring family!

She is wearing a rather fetching skull-cap looking bandage. Nick - who knows all these things - tells us that she has told the others that she has been having a try-out for the All Blacks :D :D :D!

Vinnie, who's turn it is in the sitting room with Purdey - is "sealing" all over the place to her - belly almost lower than ground level, licking her muzzle, & giving her loads of kisses!

The fun will start tomorrow when we remove the bandage & put on the Buster collar - and then try & get drops into both her ears - omg - it's bad enough doing that with the cats.

Douglas, our vet, is very pleased with her - he has suggested that we try her on Rymadol (sp??) - would be glad of any input & other peoples thoughts on this....

A very happy & relieved Margot (who still doesn't know how much this will cost - but it would be worth it were it to cost twice whatever it does to have Purdey with us)!

Oh Margot, that's wonderful! I'm so pleased for you all!

It is such good news :)

I was saying to my husband last night with all the oldies posts it brought back so many memories of Mars my first ever dog we lost back in August last year.

It really makes everyday with them a blessing :)

Brilliant news Margot, give Purdey a hug from me :)

It's just so good to have her back with us - even though we know that it might not be for long - she's "grinning" again - and this morning on the walk, it was good to see how all the others went up to her, very deferentially - she is still Alpha dog in our pack - gave her licks on her muzzle, licked the good ear - and Vinnie was almost shoulder to shoulder with her for most of the walk - she only ran off & had a couple of bundles with Beau - well out of Purdey's reach!

Purdey still managed to have a "roll" in her favourite mud splash!

The bandage will come off this afternoon - then the fun will begin with the buster collar - she will be even more like a tank than she is most of the time!

Thanks for all the good wishes - we all appreciate them!
Regards
Margot
