day EIGHTY SEVEN | Year NINE | 2018
Big day for Walter today… de-sexing, three dew-claws removed and a gastropexy (pinning of his stomach to his abdominal wall as a preventative measure for the Gastric Dilatation/Volvulus that took Emmett from us) just to round out the triple play… he is sore and sorry and not liking me very much right now 🙁
day EIGHTY SIX | Year NINE | 2018
I’m not sure what this is about… but this blurry shot of my messy desk is the only photo I took today… oh well.

day EIGHTY THREE | Year NINE | 2018
It was all hands on desk as we tried to move this bench down to the back of the house… all involved thought we could maneuver through the gaps and doorways in our way… we were wrong. The top had to come off… then success!

Contacts are signed… I now officially shoot newborns for Heartstory!

day SEVENTY NINE | Year NINE | 2018
… and so it begins! My first hockey training, ever! Somehow, I thought that taking up hockey as a forty six year old was a great idea… is this my mid-life crisis?
day SEVENTY EIGHT | Year NINE | 2018
Guess who rules the roost at Darci & Freddie’s place… it’s Queen Gertrude, of course!

day SEVENTY SEVEN | Year NINE | 2018
So this young fella gave us quite the scare this weekend, falling ill and spending 24 hours in the care of the emergency vet… a few xrays and an ultrasound (to rule out an obstruction), a blood test (that showed elevated white blood cells – indicating an infection) and 24 hours with an IV drip of fluids and antibiotics has made him good as new again… with no real answer as to the cause of the whole drama!
He came home last night with a shaved leg and a shaved belly, running around like he hadn’t caused me any grief at all 
Maybe next time you want to cause drama, Walter, you could do it during regular vet hours (at regular vet prices!)?
day SEVENTY SIX | Year NINE | 2018
Russ and I spent the day in Albury today, watching Xanthia play in a hockey tournament… it was stinking hot and I am very glad to be back in the car with the aircon humming!

Tonight we took in an Ed Sheeran concert… and it was brilliant! It took both Zoe and I on two computers and two phones to even secure the four tickets for Russ & I and Zoe & Alex in the first place… but it was worth it! Ed Sheeran – my second favourite ranga <3
