Sorry ive not loaded up any atcs but ive been busy caring for my bulldog Arnie. On wednesday he underwent a 4.5hour op on his leg. He has completly damaged all the ligaments in his knee. Our wonderful vet who specialises in bulldogs explained he had a footballers injury that required a metal plate in the knee instead of a knee replacement joint. That can cause arthritis later on. Anyway he came home yesterday morning. What a pickle he is in. My other bulldogs sat the living room door for 2 hours to gain visitors rights to their buddy. Poppy who is Arnie's football partner became very depressed refusing food so the vet said to allow the pack to see him. Poppy went into Arnie, had a sniff of the leg and then layed near him. She refused to leave his side. Poor Arnie cant go for a walk so we have to walk him in the stable yard alone. Well, Poppy came running in looking for him from her walk. She just wont play while she is out without him now.
Last night Hubby slept with him down stairs to keep an eye on him. He didn't sleep at all. So i guess he was in pain from it all. I feel like death warmed up so god knows what he feels like. The moral of this story is..... its all well and good having a super fit bulldogs who are very good examples of the breed, but remember to get them insured well as you too could be facing a £4977.66p vet bill. Thank god we have all of our insured with petplan. They have saved our butt more times than we can remember over the years with our lot.
Have a great day? Hopefully i can get some more atcs done.

Ah, Bless him. how sad. We have 2 staffy's but they are insured. Its a shame when they are poorly as they are like babies . He must be sore bless him, but so sweet that his buddies are feeling out of sorts without him. They must be very close, I feel so sorry for him , poor little thing. Hope you are ok , as I know it takes it out of you when animals in your care are poorly. Chin up and let us know how he is, Take Care Jaqi x

Arnie will be fine I'm sure - what fantastic parents he has!!
What is it about pets - I've cried many a tear over ours. They are like our children.My cat has arthritis and limps all the time - its so pathetic to watch. My only consolation is that she has had a great life with us. Others animals aren't so lucky.
Hope you get to make some ATCs tomorrow Tina!

Oh my word that looks sore. Poor fella hope he's feeling better soon. You are so lucky that he was insured as you say..cor that is one huge amount of money!!
I bet you don't want to leave him for a minute, it's so sad when they have to go through things like this but hopefully he will be up and about and none the worse in no time.
Hugs
