Life goes on?
Much has happened since the departure of my beautiful girl. Most of it concerns Mutley, our new rough-coated sofa-hound who joined us in December, and Meg’s health. After Heidi died we had the biggest outbreak of fleas in the house … Continue reading

Egg and spoon race? Kidney changes in February 2011
Well, there are moments when I wish I could keep my big mouth closed. Heidi’s blog is supposed to be about life with a healthy, but elderly dog. What happens? We have our quarterly blood results and it comes back … Continue reading
