Tobes has been super happy today getting lots of attention from Grandma and Grandad who arrived at lunchtime. We had a cold and muddy walk in the woods this afternoon. Desperate to go for a ride again. Lime looks sound now he has his heart bar shoes on, but I need to see how he feels. Vet said if still lame after another week off then we will need to inject the coffin joint with steroids. Mr EG unable to pick Eva up safely one handed so I cant really leave him in charge whilst I go out riding.

Grandad was reading Hairy McClary "Shoo", which Tobes loves and has started to recite at random moments-
Stop this shemozzle, this hullabaloo
Scarper, skedaddle
Be off with you. Shoo!
We had to have a chat about only talking to dogs like this!
