 Smidge now 13 yrs old Just had to show this lovely picture of Smidge I just took. He is just so handsome & he is going on really well again, after having his acute arthritis attack last week & seeing the vet. He was given cortisone .Which is for old dogs with chronic muscular , skeletal problems that can then get acute pain from time to time a steroid that is a miracle drug in the relief it gives from pain to are faithful friend.
Above is Alfie he is from are first litter of Cavapoos, please click on photo's to see full size. I had an phone call today from his owner to tell me how he is getting on and she then sent me these lovely pictures which she said I could use on my site. He really is a gorgeous chap and he is not just gorgeous to look at but has also got a great temperament and attitude to life, so much so that his owner has booked a pup from our next litter of Cavapoos, which is really nice to know that she was happy to come back to us and that this crossbreed is producing such a lovely type of dog.
Smidge has been given cortisone & is like a new man, thanks to modern medicine. It is always a worry when your dog is not well, but as they get into their teens the worry is even greater as you know that something quite minor to a young dog could be a real challenge for a older dog, but Smidge lives to fight another day. Long live the Smidge!
Not a good morning, my old boy Smidge having trouble with his hip, going to vet in a minute. He is on daily pain relief for his hip but it obviously is not helping him at the moment. Really not nice to see a friend in pain, lets hope its a bit of cortisone and it will stop the pain. Such an old soldier Smidge.
Time goes so quick Millie's pups are over 5 weeks old & only have one left to find forever home for. I am keeping one girl back from this very special litter. The children have picked her & have named her Smudge, due to a bit of brown on her lip which looks like s smudge. I am very lucky with the people I meet through these little dogs as they say, like attracts like & it seems that the Cavalier pet owner is very much like the breed, friendly & easy going. Must add Smudge to The Girls page so you can see who which one she is.
