One year since Fletch was put to sleep.
The hardest decision you ever have to make for your loved pets.
Sometimes I wonder if I did him justice, then I console myself knowing that he spent at least 1 month of his short life being loved everyday.
He took his last breath with Pete and I both there to cuddle him. He went with dignity after a car trip with his head out the window.
You are not forgotten my boy with the velveteen ears....
Much to Pete's amusement I got my brand spanking new bike out for a test run - outside of the backyard! - yesterday. It took a few hundred metres to get the hang of gears and steering and all those things.
It is NOT "just like riding a bike" I had a bike when I was younger. Mind you, when I had a bike three gears were a big deal and back pedalling equalled braking. None of this schmicky levers on the handle bars crap....
Ok, so once I sort of had it under control Pete handed me Rocky's lead. Yes, I understand that this is loaded with the potential for disaster... So we actually did really well. If anything I felt more balanced with Rock's next to me. He was having a great time! He likes to trot along at a good pace when we walk. This doesn't work on several levels, Patch is too slow and I have short legs!
We went twice around the block in the time it took Pete and Patch to walk once around. Couldn't have had happier dogs if I had tried. They both got the outing they enjoyed, I got some exercise too!
After his big effort Rock's curled up and slept it off. A much prefered option to digging up the backyard....
This weekend gone was my birthday - yay me!
I got cool presents.
A cushion made for me by my mum. Goes nicely with the couch I think!
Pete got me a bike. Yes peoples, a real life bi-cycle. And I intend to ride it even..... I was a little hurt that everyone seemed surprised by this and laughed, yes, laughed at me when I had a trial run around the backyard. Apparently the thought of me on a pushie is highly entertaining. Hmmph. We shall see.
It may end in tears though, I intend to eventually teach Rocky Star to run along beside me. I might work on MY bike skills a little before attemping that though!
Had a great weekend. Dogs were very tired after sucking up for attention and cheese all day. Patch does it tough.
Clearly she is a neglected dog. That pillow doesn't look nearly fluffed enough...
As for Rocky, he is just a grott. His new favourite thing is rolling in grass clippings. Mmm, tasty.
So I will post this instead. Is cool!
Greyhounds are such placid dogs.....
excuse the carpet, Rocky Star and Patch are excellent dogs. but they suck at doing the housework!!
