Good morning.. hi to Marianne, Leslie and Kathie! So sorry to hear about your Mum Marianne, that would leave a huge gap in your life and I don't think it matters what age they are when they go they are irreplaceable your amazing Leslie taking in all the pups you have over the years, makes me laugh how Bud decided well this is home for me now and I staying!! Wet noodle indeed lol Yes Kathy it was fun wasn't it and I do often think of all the good friends who have come in and out of my life by visiting K9C x

Yes Elle is still with us. She is 9 now and still my parents faithful little companion. I'm not sure how long ago it was and if I was still posting here but at least 2 or 3 years back some a***hole shot her with a slug gun. It shattered her front elbow and she needed surgery and was in a cast for several weeks while it healed. She was struggling a bit with arthritis over winter and had a few visits to see lovely Mike who is still our vet, he has recently put her on cartrophen and told Mum who took her in.. oh Trish can give her these injections she used to do it with Flynny. So I am still doing that weekly for another couple of weeks then he will review and we can go out to monthly if all good. Now spring is here we are also hoping the warmer weather will help her. She is to have a dose of metacam if she looks obviously sore but Mum hasn't needed to give her much. The kittens (or cats now) are very healthy, they only have a yearly visit to Mike for a checkup and their vaccinations and long may it stay like that!
