Wrestlemania

Baloo and Paddington decided to drink from a dubious water source during their run on Wednesday, so we woke up to a double dose of doggie diarrhoea on Thursday. Knowing full well that it's usually viral, we waited to see what would happen. By Sunday morning we were off to the vet... they were playing, running and eating, but their tummies seemed worse than before.

Cortisone, antibiotics, a special diet and a hefty vet bill later, we were on our way home (they both had colitis: infection of the large bowel). I now have the "pleasant" duty of trying to get antibiotics down their throats twice a day, bearing in mind that they can't be fed just anything, as their digestive systems won't cope at the moment!

By this evening they were both looking much better and less uncomfortable, so we took them for a walk down the road. They then had a wrestle with Sean on their mattress in the tv room, followed by dinner... as I'm blipping, they're both fast asleep in their favourite spots: Baloo outside on the patio and Paddington inside on the sleeper couch. Life's good :)
