First Blog with Pip and Abby

Something I always wanted to do but never got around writing one...circumstances evolved today and now have discovered the Blog....... "THE BLOG" ....funny word.... sounds like something you come down with, along with rashes, hives and scratching your bottom  The day started funny enough with bright sunshine..something we don't see a lot of in the cold winter month's here...but soon short lived as dark sky's yet again settled upon us and the sky turned dark...rain I thought...we get rai

Making Changes

Well it's day 1 for a healthier me..... Journey to lower my cholesterol, lower blood pressure, lose pounds and stop smoking. That's a lot isnt it....hope to look back in the coming months and say it was all worth it. Started last night sipping cinnamon tea instead of coffee..Good for arthritis inflammation ....... I'm a die hard all day long coffee-holic and this isn't going to be easy so let's see how bad the withdrawal is going to be this time around .....I've done this before and the fir

Abby Feeling Poorly Today?

Taking a break today as Abby got up several times during the night sick. Intestinal cramping, repeat throwing up and watery dirrehea. She wasn't feeling well at all by breakfast and didn't eat....so took her outside in the sunshine and used a rinseless shampoo to sponge bath her to remove the mess head to tail which I think she actually enjoyed the pampering and cuddles. Her facial reaction was like she thought I would be mad at her throwing up everytime I cleaned it up...but I praised her

Living with Arthritis

Instead of carrying on with a earlier post I decided to make a new one so other sufferers could add their pain management and ways of coping with the pain of all arthritis's. Feel free to add your notes as it might help someone else thats going through or just starting suffering. Update 11-18-17 I have religiously been attending physical therapy to exercise the muscles in my affected joints and back to build muscle to support the areas. I am lucky to have a caring woman that modifies s

All In a Dog's Day At Work

Tiling 101 Pip: Well today Abby and I got started with a little help from mom and dad tiling the shower wall. We had to start early because dad said he's tired of waiting for the plumber who won't be back to next Tuesday ...and we're expecting the electrician to run wiring to our new dog bath today......... (Abby interrupts) Umm Pip I think that's the humans washing area not ours. Pip: No Abby I think it's all ours because mom tells us everyday we need a bath and soon, so I'm

The Fairies are back

Little Miss Abby has spent the whole morning upstairs by herself in bed... She's scared of the fairies that's obviously flying around our living room ceiling. Trouble is when I check on her she's seeing them up,there too  Pip see's them too but he's very brave and sits with mom instead. She just joined us in the living room at 2pm but wihining upwards at the ceiling ....Naughty fairies...go somewhere else will ya. What a bonkers day it is

Our New Bathroom

It's been a long build from scratch but happily we can say it's 99% finished and only a few minor extra's to add as we get time. Starting from scratch in a very, very old house is no joy...nothing is square and floors are never level...but hey you work with what you got. The ugly green suite was installed by my hubby over 45 years ago and was still in complete working order but it didn't fit our needs any longer....plus washing the baby's was a back breaking effort in the tub and I won't ev

I'm telling on you mommie

Aunties! Well mommie done gone and did something new to me and I'm telling on her cause I didn't know what she was doing to me.   Just look, it's all gone! Mommie said I'd be much cooler being a one inch girl and not have to go through pulling out tangles and mats every morning now so guess that's a plus. At least she saved my top knot, girls gotta have somewhere to hang her bows don't they? I already been digging at my top knot cause mommie did it in a hurry so she could get on w

Oooo these Restless Legs

Like many people I've had restless syndrome for many years but of late I can't get get off to sleep till about 4 am and feel like a slug when I do wake up. I went on Pinderfest last night and typed in a search....magnesium, hot baths, exercise on and on all the ways to treat it...it can't be cured. My mother had it real bad and I never thought I would be the same way but I am. I used something last night that is just crazy after reading the home remedy and spotting numerous suggestions to u

Laser Pen/ Black Nails : discussion

I got into a deep discussion this morning discussing black nails and the quick..... A subject that makes many pet owners go cold at the thought of doing on a month basis. One stated bright sunlight and she could see the quick...but she's got a small chihuahua, it doesn't help me when my male has thick dragon claws. I'm trying to recede the quick on both my paws as I hear the tip tippy tap tap on the laminate flooring. They both don't have many black nails but it's nerve racking everytime I

A little find

I took myself off to town for retail therapy this morning...you know the essentials...dog biscuits, treats, chews, toys, pee pads by the hundreds .  Anyway .....spotted what I hope to be a little jewel amoung the isles.. A portable pool filter for small above ground pools...Mind was turning a hundred miles a hour...how could I use this with 2 buckets to make a home made hydro bathing pump...all clamps, hose and clamps  interior filter and cap filters.... only two on the shelf and a £14 price

Santa brought me a HOLE

Abby We had a great day on what mommie called Christamas...What ever that waz but it was different than the other days as mommie and daddy had all sorts of nice thinks around to munch on. Pip and I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about really. Usually after breakfast mom takes us upstairs so she can play fix the picture on her computer all day....I'm a stickler for routine and mommie definitely wasn't on routine...It just wasn't normal I tell you...And I Don't Like Change ....no s

Yougart

Pip and Abby having a lazy day today so not much happening.  I bought a small container of strawberry Yougart to try to fool Pip into taking his Slippery Elm dosage. Abby has never had Yougart so she was very suspicious at first till Pip went to eating his off my finger tip...mmm she likes it. Pip finished first so I put the remaining runny mixture in a saucer and she dove in head first...once she came up for air this is how she looked...hahahahaha ears to whiskers but oh mom that was yummy

Shih Tzu Mania

Had the strangest thing happen last night and frankly it's got me baffled.  Little Abby Dabby.....as I sweety call her most of the time.....Usually when she goes to bed nothing and I mean nothing wakes her up, she's out like a light till 8 the next morning. She woke suddenly last night like she had a night mare....growling at first into darkness in the general area of the stairs then barking and would not stop. She even got up to investigate barking and growling the whole time.  I got

Canned Dog Food (warning)

We had a funny old day here filled with worry for our dear Abby. She was fine at first but 30 minutes after waking she ran to the bathroom to proceed to vomit then dirrehea on her pad. She then laid on the top landing and vomited more but all mucous..... Then to the lower landing she vomited even more still mucous and lumps ..... Took her outside where she vomited even more stingy mucous. She stopped momentarily for 15 minutes and suddenly rushed upstairs....(something she does when she has

She did the math and that's when she said it! Abby your a  Heifer Lump ! Can you believe that! Me?  Now she says I got to stop all treats and no more bacon or cookies either  Some word she keeps saying ...Diet...What's that?  Brother is a lot longer

One Year Two Month's

Got to marvel with amazement at my little junk yard dog this morning during her morning beauty treatment. With all the ups and downs since her rescue a year and two months ago now..... she's blossomed into a paw I wouldn't reconize when I look back at how she use to be. Finally I got control of her hair.......since I started using the secret weapon shampoo additive and hypknotic grooming spray.....she's had two shampoo's with it added to the Tropiclean and each time her hair just gets

Recall blessings

We always thought it  best to teach some sort of recall and enforce it constantly daily with simple command words.....We'll today it was needed big time. Hubby took our next door neighbors trash bins around and forgot to close our gate. I have a phobia and always look out to check it whenever I let the terriable two out for a wee and play time...This time to my horror it was OPEN and they were headed down the path but at the end our other neighbors house.......They must have thought they were go

Case of the missing Knickers by Abby Lane

Aunties  It's horriable what's happened to me just horrible...... Someone has stole my knickers and I can't find them anywhere. Mom said it's probably Matt...who ever that is cause after my bath and mom was grooming me she said something about someone called Matt. I think there were two or more of them that stole my knickers cause she said it plural..Matt's.   My tummy is so cold when I go outside to pee and I hold it and hold it till I am busting....but all I do is lay down so it can stay w
