A Trip to the Vets

Yesterday saw the daft canine duo that is Remus and Gracie visit the Vets for their annual vaccination booster and this years kennel cough jab. They were weighed, Remus a very healthy twenty two kilos and our Grace came in at twenty seven! Girl dogs are by in large fifteen percent smaller than their male counterparts! So she is a little overweight, but this is due to her general relaxed approach to things. She only ever runs with speed when a squirrel or two are spotted at the bottom of the garden. She is always on Remus’s tail. On the other hand Remus is a fine standing dog. He is a real looker! Did I say that his father was a best of breed at crufts? Anyhow, he burns off his calories being so hyper all of the time. The Vet almost fainted when she realised that he was ten years old. She thought him a sprightly pup of eighteen months or younger. We had to laugh. Another entry about today later…
