I love that jock retains his disapproving intense glare between those two big pink tongues!🥰

Morning all- welcome to February!

For me it was the Baby Pac Man game in the corner shop near my flat in Toronto that (fleetingly) had my name on the high score list. No one is now impressed with *that* achievement!

Ok- update for anyone wondering. New hip installed, excellent care given and my #humancompanion is currently being gently attended to by the labrador

#happyending

Thanks Pat! Weekend was unsalvageable, but the good folks at Royal Hobart have patched him up well with a new hip, hopefully home for this weekend!

Thanks Yuri - on the mend now!

She’s good at finding what she wants in her environment- sun, shade, toys… maple is a genius doodle! 🍁 😎

Omar Sakr beautifully reflects their power and care, and how our hopes and hearts are held by the work of nurses.

A beautiful tribute to those who care through the long night.
For the nurses.

Thanks to the paramedics and emergency services (half the fireys on the Channel) who turned up on a dark and rapidly cooling gravel road in the middle of the night; the ED team and the orthopaedists at Royal Hobart. Early days, but it looks like a #happyending for my human companion.
#ageingbones

It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is no sorrier place to be than an emergency department in the early hours of a long weekend Sunday.
#RoyalHobart

That’s an awful start. 😞 Here’s hoping you are disaster free for a good long time now! 🤞

Oh no!

A shiny black dog with a grey muzzle is looking at the camera… the dog is close up and has two teeth showing, a large ball is partly visible in her mouth

…or offer her the chance to romp with this old ball thief

…try to explain to her gently that sometimes she just needs to sort out her “issues” with her siblings for herself…

Good choice!

Of course! It would be rude not to, but I also tell them that I think they will be more comfortable without the dead branches.

Not to mention my apologies to the critters in the front paddock when I startle them while they are going about their business.
