Poor Joy isn't having a very good year, first her eyes, then last weekend I found a small lump on her side. Off we went to the vet, who took a sample via needle aspiration. She has rung back to say that the test results have shown a melanoma, so it's being removed on Thursday. Poor little...

Today is Joy's eighth birthday! Where has the time gone? She's had a good day, with a sniffy walk in the woods, a quick swim, a ball game, some presents and tuna for tea. Here she is opening one of her presents , and with her new tuggy toy from her Auntee Feeowner and her two dogs. Happy...

We're having a trip to a specialist vet in Wakefield tomorrow, weather and roads permitting. I've been noticing for a little while now that Joy's sight, particularly in her right eye, seems to be deteriorating. The people who she stayed with when I went on holiday ( who have had Labradors for...

Don't worry, the plot has not been lost! I promised Mags@Boogie that I would keep her updated on my latest travel adventure, which has just started, and this mnemonic is the only way I can remember the countries I'm visiting in the right order! It stands for: France, Italy, Austria, Croatia...

Happy seventh birthday to my GoodGirlJoy! It's a bit murky and damp, but we're going to have a train ride and a different walk, and she has a few presents to enjoy. There might well be a special tea as well. :heart::clap::dug:

Didn't we have a Bed Thread somewhere once upon a time? I've looked but can't find it. Anyway, I think it's time for Joy to have a new downstairs bed. She's spending longer and longer digging around in it before she lies down, presumably trying to make it more comfortable and despite washing...

As if there wasn't enough going on with my balance still being a bit skewiff, while my friend Shelli, (who is kindly walking Joy while I'm not able) and I were having a brief chat thismorning, joy helped herself to a piece of plastic from an empty meat container in our nextdoor neighbours '...

Six years old today! Hard to believe it! We have a short train ride followed by a long walk planned, then some presents and a special birthday tea, probably involving sardines. Currently she and Loki, Spaniel nextdoor are busy barking Veryvery Fiercely at the recycling people. Happy...

GGJ's Find of the Day was a dead goose!:facepalm: It was a whole, adult, great big Canada Goose, about the same size as her! She had disappeared down some banking to the river while I was giving directions to another walker. By the time I reached her she had enjoyed a really good roll in it and...

In July my friend Fiona had to have the older of her two Fox Terriers, Jessie pts. Jessie was a rescue, so we never knew her exact age, but it was thought that she was about 15. Then her old friend Millie, a working Cocker followed her a few weeks ago, aged 14. Millie's human Dad found a piece...

Here we are, GGJ and me back from our holiday! We're sorry that we didn't post sooner, but we have been busy catching up with local friends, comforting Joy's dogsitter who fell totally in love with her and was in tears when she handed her back, and keeping up with all the messages from the...

Today is Joy's fifth birthday! We have always said that dogs count their first four birthdays on their paws, but then they run out so they use their tail, making the fifth birthday their Coming to Tail. After this they stop counting ( although we don't). They still refer to the Coming to Tail...

As I was drying Joy after her walk and swim thismorning I found a lump at the top of her right ear, on the inside just where it joins her head. It's about the size of a large pea and doesn't seem to be bothering her but she doesn't like me trying to look at it and lies down on her back with her...

Thismorning Joy and I did a walk that we last did on Christmas Eve and it was upsetting to see several notices about Charlie, a Beagle who has been missing from that area since the fifth of January. Charlie Beagle is a friend of Joy's, a lovely natured dog who is very gentle, a big character...

I have finally chosen which pictures from Joy's photo shoot I want in a book and on a USB stick and which one I'd like as a mounted print and they're paid for, and Lisa, the photographer has sent them all to me , so now I can share them with you. There are 54 in all, so I'll just post five a day...

Today I have been told that Georgie, Donna and Melanie's Mum's dog has died. He was only five and had Lymphoma. He and Marilyn, his hooman lived with Donna and Blossom, her Lab cross. He was a great little dog, a Westie crossed with I can't remember what. He often came on long walks with...

Summer Solstice tonight. Still think of my Gungho girl, who would have been thirteen and a half today, with so much love. Glad I have my very different, yet just as loveable GGJ xxxxxxx.

Thisafternoon Mags @Boogie came round for a long awaited reunion with the gorgeous Keir, who came to visit with his hooman. Her P.A. who is fluent in BSL came too, which made communication easier and felt like a really special time. Here are a few photos, Mags will no doubt add more......

Four years ago today a funny little puppy, destined to become a huge part of my life arrived!She was a GoodGirl from the start and already knew 'sit'. We're off up to the moor soon to celebrate with her friends.

It's my older stepdaughter Donna's birthday, so here we are in York with Mel, her sister, booked into a hotel for the night and a Caribbean restaurant thisevening. It's a beautiful sunny day, T shirt and sunglasses weather and we have had a lovely amble round The Shambles and a few ( non...
