Lindsay Update

Lindsay remains very poorly, but there are signs of improvement. Ear infection is still knocking her for six. Back Axle packs up frequently. It takes her ages to settle down and when she does, she lands with a bang and one of her back legs is trapped underneath her.

Gay Austrailian Vet has changed her eardrops - he is reluctant to give her the oral equivelent as its a severe medication that has side effects that could see an elderly frail dog off. If this change of drops doesn't work - there are other interventions - but they come with a lot of risk. No signs of any infection in other regions of the dog - which is a good sign.

Lindsay seems content, even with the indignity of the hairnet/head scarf she is wearing to deter the over enthusiastic Staff Nurse Kato from deep-snooting her ear. A polite clean would be OK - but Kato gets her snoot as far down as she can and leaves a saturated, warm ear that the bacteria have a right Knees Up in. Even Sister Abe has been taking an interest in Lindsays ear. 

Isolating Looby when we aren't around to protect her from the Canine Feminist Collective Nursing Team - and a sign of her fraility is that this doesn't bother her - usually she protests long & loud if she feels excluded. And she ate all her tea this evening (much to Java's disappointment who happily washes up Lindsays bowl) - and Linds has enjoyed a Beef Jerky Nightcap the last few evenings.

kAT0 Diary - bling, fashion, boys - yer average teenager

humans have decided I am so like unruly ASBO dog.  Am having me daily walk on Halti head collar. Its OK, makes the human stop lagging behind on me walks, tho That Abe reckons I might have the maths wrong on that one. 

But Halti makes me look like I,ve been wearing spectacles when I take it off with a dint in me snoot. Not such a good thing when trying to chat up Boy Dogs. You try fluttering your lashes with a Halti on.

And Halti is also well 90s, like something Lindsay would wear, plain black nylon with dull metal fittings - humans looking for padded version hopefully reflective, fluoro band  with gold and diamante bling fittings. Least I don't have to wear a hair-net like the old Dudess.

Have now worked out my over zealous guarding of the territory wasn't winning me any biscuits. So Have decided to welcome all visitors to the house with playful, full-on, exhuberant and warm welcome. This not pleasing the humans either - apparently 80pounds of kAt0 bouncing in/on/around visitors is not acceptable either. Dog! Humans and their contradictory behaviours. I,m never going to understand them  - more complicated than house training.   

And there be dragons down Lindsays ear, I reckon if I could just get my snoot down one more centimetre I could extract said dragons - but humans keep barking at me to Leave It/Come Out of That. 

Anyway, Laters
