Great video of Ceilidh, I wish my son would learn how to blow bubbles under water properly like that so he could learn to swim. I love those pics of James with the dogs, it looks like the dogs think he's one of them.

Leah's wound does look sore, like bruising but that shouldn't spread should it? Hope it's OK when the vet takes a look.

We had a lovely family party yesterday, we took Domino with us and she had so much fuss made of her. The little minx waited until my back was turned and pinched a slice of birthday cake from the table, she was being so good up until that point. Luckily some people had consumed a fair amount of alcohol so I don't think they noticed.

I probably said before that my Mum's whippet came to stay with us for a month not long ago. She was fine here, seemed happy and ate as normal. When she went home she kept being sick every few days and was quite unhappy, and lost nearly a Kg in weight which is a lot for a skinny whippet. Anyway she went to the vet and was put on a different diet (Hills I think) for a few days and has now started putting on weight and seems better. The vet thought that she was most likely stressed either while she was here or when she went home as there appeared to be nothing else wrong. Has anyone else heard this before, and will it be like this every time she comes to stay or was it because she was here so long?
