Under the weather and in big trouble......

Morning to all my lovely bloggy buddies....I've been a bit under the weather.....well it started off with a bit of an itch at the beginning of the week and hey girls you know if you've got an itch you just can't help yourself you just gotta scratch it.   I'd been having a good old sneaky scratch everytime I went out to the garden well away from Mum's prying eyes because before you know she would be investigating to see if I have fleas or the like...as if with my noble parentage I would allow such creatures to reside in my coat....perish the thought.   But I took the scratching a bit too far and ended up with my back covered in blood.....enough said I am quickly in transit to the vet who by the way is just the nicest lady and with impeccable taste too...greeting me with her usual "Hello Gorgeous".  After a thorough MOT from the Doggy Doc....but what checking my ears teeth heart and temperature.....not very dignified I tell you...has to do with my itch I don't know but it turns out I may have picked up a thorn and in my efforts to get rid of the blighter ended up with a huge red raw sore.
After an antibiotic and steroid injection...cream for Mum to rub on twice a day and a few treats for being a brave soldier.....it's time to go home but first we have to pay the bill.....oops the cubbyhole stash purse is now lighter by £65.  No National Health Service for us dogs but hey the upside is we don't have to wait days to see the doc...a quick phone call and 20 minutes later I am trotting in for my consultation.....being a dog has it's advantages or so I thought.
We've had another sick boy in the cubbyhole.. Mr Dyson hasn't been feeling too well either....off his food and very lethargic and after much whispering behind my back with the Dyson Doc.....Mum tells me it is all my fault....he was suffering big time from eating all that hair....between you and me folks I think he's just a greedy sod eating everything in his path and all that paper...sticky stuff and goodness knows what from the cubbyhole can't do his digestive system any favours.  We are round about the same age but his MOT was free because he came with a 5 year guarantee.....so at this moment in time he is definitely the blue-eyed boy....unlike me who is in deep doodahs.
BECAUSE... I've been very naughty...while Mum was in the shower yesterday morning I just couldn't resist a good old scratch.....crikey blood everywhere and we are back to square one....another visit to the vet and more medication...let me tell you Mum is now having a major grumph....another £72 out of the crafty stash box....so she decided to take drastic action and I've been forced to wear one of Dad's T shirts...how undignified.

and the evidence of another scratchy session is there for everyone to see...I'll be in big trouble again.....well it's so darned itchy what's a boy to do but I definitely need to keep a low profile...head well under the radar stuff for the next few days so no way will I be uttering one little word of complaint about these pesky sticky pads.

But I have a little secret and I know it's safe with all you lovely ladies....as you all know Mum is deserting the cubbyhole for a trip away and guess who will be having another root around for some crafty stash to give-away but I have to wait until she's gone....so off to have a bit of a power snooze...need to conserve all my energy for my Cubbyhole Rummage.....see you all soon.

Big Hugs and Furry Snuggles
