Hello everyone, me again,
here are a couple of pics of Sally 'sat' on the chair - this has become a common occurance lately.

Sally will be 40 weeks old on Tuesday and now weighs 42 kg - just over 6 and a half stone. She does not seem to have grown much more but does appear to be filling out more in the chest area. She still has a scar where the tick was weeks ago - I don't know if it will go or she might always have it - hope not!

When I took her to the vets last week to be spayed the vet recommended not doing the operation yet as she was still in season, her mammary glands were still swollen so she said she still had some hormones circulating which would mean the tissues were still more delicate and may make the operation more risky and also she might be more prone to phantom pregnancies in the future and we definately did not want that as Katie suffered badly with them. So weare now waiting until the end of October or beginning of November to have it done - there is no rush as she will not be due another season for 6 months. Instead we are starting on the programme for applying for a pet passport; Sally is already microchipped so that is the first part; next she has to have a rabies injection followed by blood tests. We are hoping to take her to Spain next year and the passport taked about 8 months to be final. It is not a problem taking her out of the country but bringing her back she would have to be quarrantined for 6 months without the passport.

That's all for now, we have just come back from the caravan and Sally has had a couple of hours rest and is now playing with Neil.

Sally, Neil & Johanna.

Hello all,

Well I am back from Spain now and had a lovely week in the sun with Sarah, Dave, Holly and Matthew. Sally had been acting a bit different while I was away and Neil thought that maybe she had been missisng me - she certainly went wild when I walked in the door on Sunday night. She continued to bleed for a full 2 weeks, so it could have been that making her act differently too. Anyway she is back to normal now and back in her usual routine. I have made an appointment to have her spayed on the 26th August so I'll take a couple of days off work after until she is back to normal.

The photos above were taken since I came back of the damage Sally did when she was younger - chewing a little table; destroying DVDs and chewing the plug off the iron - there has been no damage for several weeks now and no accidents in the house, work or caravan.

Bye for now

Sally, Neil & Johanna
