Mucky Monday
Oh dear, we’re back to grey, murky, wet days for the week by the looks of things after a very cold snap. I don’t know about the girls but I definitely prefer the cold and frosty walks over ones like we had first thing this morning. All the snow has melted overnight, leaving mucky puddles of mud in the fields, which means it’s either a full-blown bath when we get back for the girls or out comes the PawPlunger. Seeing as yesterday was bath-day, the PawPlunger won at 8 o’clock this morning. This clever contraption works pretty well at getting the worst of the mud out of their feet and saves the need to hike the girls up to the bathroom for a shower-down, but I’m not entirely sure Susie-Belle enjoys it – Renae on the other hand seems to sigh with relief and willingly hands me her paws, I think she’s just happy not to have the full-blown bath palava.

We’re home alone this week as Michel’s off abroad visiting family and we’re all eating our way through various bits of pheasant that he’s left us with, me the cooked and raw for the girls, naturally. Before he went, he cooked up a rather delicious dish involving mushrooms, cream and pheasant which will keep me going a few days and the girls have the carcasses they’re sharing. Renae seems to have come round to enjoying pheasant this last couple of days, although by the time Susie-Belle has crunched her way through hers, Renae has still only just finished walking round with hers, dropping it and picking it up several times before deciding to actually get on and eat it. But at least she’s eating it and not leaving it for Susie-Belle to have a second helping with.
Wow! You pups feast like kings! Lucky, lucky.
Yuki and Rocket
We make sure they have happy, happy tummies!
Hi Susie-Belle,
My Mommy & I just found you from visiting our friends Yuki and Rocket. Your sweet face was showing as their latest friend joiner on their blog.
Your life story is just overwhelming, and I am thrilled that you have such a great life now. You are very blessed. No pup should ever go through what you have.
I would love for us to be friends. I am going to join your site as a friend right now. Come visit me sometime. I would love that.

Hi Susie-Belle,
I think that both you feet and bath options don’t sound too nice and I would give my mum a hard time about BOTH! It’s hot here again – we had a little “cool” spell from the big heat for a week or two – but the big heat is back. Today is going to be 34 degrees C.
I must say that Pheasant dish sounds wonderful – so if you have any left, send it over!!

Oh no 34 degrees we couldn’t enjoy! A bit of snow suits us better, unless there’s a cold river nearby to cool off in?
Pixel Blue Eyes, lovely to join your site, you’re completely beautiful and we look forward to seeing more of you 🙂
Don’t think I would like the paw thingy – I hate peeps messing with my feet! I’ve been trying to keep out of the mud so I don’t need a bath. Pheasant sounds good – we have one of those visiting our garden but I don’t think Leigh would be too happy if I ate him 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day ! love from Magic xx
Felix love love loves pheasant! We can only get parts ’round here, but we manage to piece together almost enough to make a whole bird :0)
