Cola sees the Opthamologists!

Yesterday i took Cola to see the opthamologist, who was brilliant with her...he confirmed that there was nothing in the eye! fab news...but he was concerned that where the foreign body did penetrate the eye was right by the iris and lens...at present this hole is being sealed with blood etc....and seems to be holding and healing...so fingers crossed it remains there and the hole seals itself! She has to go back in 3 weeks and have eye drops in everyday! ha ha if anyone knows Cola she is not one for being poked and prodded!

One bit of advice to everyone never stop one insurance policy without the new one starting!! wont do that again in a hurry....

Cola and eyeballs!


This has been a stressful week...poor Cola was on her way back to the car after a walk on Sunday and i noticed that she had one eye closed! not a normal thing for Cola!! anyway i decided to have a look at home and was concerned as the pupil was constricted and very cloudy! Off we went to the emergency vets...they charge 90 quid just to see your pet!!! god im in the wrong job!! lol....anyway after spending 200 quid we were told to see our own vet on monday and she would need to see an optimologist to have the stick removed! dont know why they kept calling it a stick!! ha ha as u need a magnifying glass to see it...saw my vet on Tuesday and she was hoping that she could remove it but its gone too far into her eye ball....

So we are off to the specialist tomorrow and fingers crossed that it hasnt done too much damage and he can remove it safely!! eyes are not to be messed with ...i am just frustrated that this is the only appointment all week as i was kept being told it was 'urgent'!! luckily Cola is used to pain and disguises it very well....

The bad news is...yes there is more bad news...i stopped my pet insurance last week as i was trying to save money and transferred to another insurance company so im not covered! the one time for something to go wrong has happened....and it may cost a considerably amount of money to get her eye fixed....ill update tomorrow x

The Bernese Mountain dog!!


Wow...this was my first grooming dog! i had not even seen one of these dogs before let alone groom it!! What a great introduction to my dog grooming course....our 'client' was a 3yr old Burnese who had underlying health issues, didnt like other dogs (aggression) or people really!! ha ha talk about throwing us into the deep end...but i like a challenge and after muzzling the dog and spending some one to one time with her she was great...after she had her walk in shower!! yes we were provided with wellies...and i still got soaked! ha ha we removed her muzzle and never put it back on...she left the grooming salon a very happy pooch...lets hope we see her again soon...

Well as the agility season has now finished i have been cleaning the house...boring...walking woofs for longer at the weekend....and meeting up with friends and family...

My parents are going to see their 5 week old cocker puppy next weekend...ahhhh and choose which one they want! ha ha they will never decide....as for names any suggestions grately received!

Hey just think only 10 weeks till xmas!! ha ha....and the clocks change in a couple of weeks....ooo its all fun this time of year...and to top it off we have to get through the firework nightmare!! dont worry i have my DAP collar all ready to put on my gundog! just need to get some zylkene now and we are sorted! Having to fit in dinner with friends before this all starts off and we are chained to the house! i have 3 dinners planned for the next couple of weeks so that will be nice to catch up with agility friends and family!

Hoochi has had another haircut but i have promised to leave his top knot alone which i have done...for now! lol....hell soon be looking the model pooch when i have mastered all the grooming techniques...i think he cant wait! lol
I have also heard from my best friend, who emigrated to NZ 3yrs ago...she has since had another child who i have not even met yet! had to add in the below photo as the kids are sooo georgous....and of course my BBF
