A Self Portrait...

Herself & the Others

Herself has a poorly eye unlike my own poorly eye of recent days (more than a week and still here!) hers may have been leaking actual blood instead of merely being bloodshot, also she has been limping I don’t know why. I am paying close attention but I don’t want to take her to the vet or call him in. I have a very bad feeling that I know what he will say. I don’t want to hear it.
And she’s not so bad! she is eating well, going outside for short walks in the early spring sunshine and sleeping happily by her radiator, which is always left on, when she’s home. How is that a bad life?
In other news the pup currently renamed ‘Naughty Baby!’ is doing well so far three of my shoes have been stolen and vandalized. I do try to hide them and keep doors shut but the evidence suggests I am singularly unsuccessful I now have odd shoes. I consider myself lucky not to have matching odd socks I only just caught her at the laundry basket in time!
Jezzie is wonderful her patience is endless!  She plays with the little villain all the time. hardly ever snaps unless something she wants is threatened. Its a pity she didn’t want my shoes. She would be a great mum and I thank whatever gods there be that she is not. I doubt, seriously doubt, that I could cope.
My handsome Olly is indifferent to all of it he sleeps at my feet, runs in his garden and pays no attention to Naughty Baby! unless she tries to take something of his in which case an ominous growl is heard and Naughty Baby! no fool, does a runner.
Pippa and Trixie could care less about pups, I have noticed that they try to push herself out of the way this I will not allow but I am reminded of the law of the jungle I think in their opinion my beautiful old girl should be gone. Its not my opinion however and on this subject my opinion is law!
