...and we're grounded...


Mum:
Sad to say we're out of action with a mild dose of Kennel Cough until 22nd October, but the main thing is Willow-old-but-wise-one has stopped coughing after only two days, and doesn't seem to have had any of the ill effects that accompanied last years' bout. She woke me up Wednesday/Thursday early hours with her cough and it was THAT cough. For those of you whose dogs have been unlucky enough to had kennel cough, you know the one, your heart just sinks for your dog! Have just treated it with Manuka Honey and she's done really well thank goodness.
Jette and I are both gutted as Jette's been working so well with her jumpies and really enjoying her training. Flynn has decided that last week's dogwalk was a fluke and he's not doing it anymore with all four legs as he can manage perfectly well thank you very much with just two!!!
Flynn and Jette seem to be fine, no coughing at all and I don't think Willow's been anywhere to infect other dogs so that's a huge relief. We'll just have to find some indoor activities until we're let back out again :-)

  2. Oh no Jules, what a bummer. Definately best to play it safe though it may have just been throat irritation and not the dreaded KC?
    And I agree, fab pic!
