Well I've bloody well missed the vet again tonight.
Played badminton with the Prof at teatime for the first time in a decade (and thought I would drop dead there and then on the court) and missed the soddin call! By the time I had rung her back, she'd left the surgery .....tomorrow I shall pin her down for sure!
Having said this, the patient in the kitchen,apart from looking mighty bored with her life, looks more or less like her normal self.
I've cooked her chicken for tea and have told her just how well loved she is! (Not many welsh bulldogs have such a fan club as she I whispered. ) she listened to what I had to say but continued to scoff down her fillets with one eye on the cat flap in case Albert should appear.
I do love the old girl so very much.
In the great scheme of things the fate of a geriatric sex obsessed bulldog shouldn't be high up on the agenda.....but I am touched just how many people have checked up on the old slag!
Thank you.

How could anyone reading about her sweet nature and exploits could not love her.
ReplyDeletecheers, thehamish and parsnip
Tell her it is almost midnight here and i just had to be sure that she is ok.
ReplyDeleteShe is our Blanche Dubois and Ena Sharples, how could we not love her. xxx
ReplyDeleteCould the antibiotics see off the evil Pyometra, is that possible, especially as she was diagnosed so early?
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that she is doing better, and enjoying her convalesce.
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable, one of my favorite people on blogger. She's a sweet little, innocent Love Bomb :) xo
ReplyDeleteA large hug to Winnie from me please. xx
ReplyDeletei adore winnie. having an old chow who can hardly hear or see brings me to my knees. i hope winnie rebounds!
ReplyDeleteShe's a good old girl, that one, and we do care about her. May her iron constitution bring her through this.
ReplyDeleteI love reading about your assortment of pets! Of course Winnie has a large, international fan club, how could she not with that face? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteGive her a pet for me. Sending good wishes your way Winnie! <3
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love and healing thoughts to Winnie!
ReplyDeleteCall me whatever you like. The main reason I worry about Winnie is you.
ReplyDeleteIt's odd when you think about it. I don't know what your and the Prof's plans are for the future you have hinted at. When my luck changed both our cats made it so much "easier" for us by one letting herself hit by a car, the other, nine months later, having to be put down due to inoperable skin cancer. Talk about timing.

Whatever our future ursula...it will always include the dogs and albert
DeletePS Wish I hadn't allowed myself to be reminded. Am tearful. It's ok. No matter. Miss them dreadfully, both in their own ways. They'll never know, up there in mousers' heaven.
ReplyDeleteU
There is always a special place in our hearts for our lost furrys..it matters and shows a compassionate heart (:)
DeleteWinnie's health is directly related to your mental health. So, I am concerned.
ReplyDeleteAlmost my bedtime again and once again the adorable Winnie is in my thoughts, though feeling slightly relieved that she has continued eating and getting on with recovery. zz
ReplyDeleteI always want to check up on how the old slag is doing - and Winnie.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know Winnie enjoyed her tea and I hope you do pin that vet down soon!
ReplyDeleteFor ll the reasons above and she is one of my favourite subjects to paint I have everything crossed..
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking about that sweet gal today. Give her a hug for me!
ReplyDeleteI check in here all during the day to see if there is new word on the young miss. I am glad to hear a positive note tonight .. if she is up to tea, well, you know she is feeling better .. For me it is chocolate .. <3
ReplyDeletebut but but she is so ADORABLE! who could NOT love her sweet face!
ReplyDeleteIt's no surprise that you became exhausted after repeatedly whacking your shuttlecock.
ReplyDeleteOf course we love her. And wish her well.
ReplyDeleteArrange for a man in a uniform with a tool belt to come by and if she doesn't respond, rush her to the vet! xo Suz
ReplyDeleteOh I hope Winnie is soon well. Probably with your love and adoration, she's halfway there already. I'm surprised that while he and Albert are BFF's, she doesn't trust him not to steal her yummy tea. Give her a soft fondle for me. xx
ReplyDeleteChecking in and glad to hear she is better.
ReplyDeleteWe ❤ Winnie!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like winnie has a big fan club as well as a world wide prayer circle. Love and hugs, milli
ReplyDeleteI think most of us are current or past pet owners, and we know the heartache. Glad to hear Winnie is eating!
ReplyDeleteI think we all love the old girl very much thinking of you all hope you have some good news tomorrow John.
ReplyDeleteNow, isn't that just Sod's Law again! The only time you con't take a call is when they ring! I loved Suz's suggestion - she's really very ill if she doesn't respond to that! Hope you make contact with the ellusive vet soon.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the extra 'l' - there's one free, if anyone's short :-))
Delete"The old slag"? How very dare you! hehehe x
ReplyDeleteI am so very happy to hear that darling Winnie is picking up. Now for even better news from the vet...
ReplyDeleteHow could we not look at that face, and hear of her antics, and not love her? Count me a member of Winnie's International Fan Club!
ReplyDeleteSweet Winnie will always have our hearts. X

ReplyDeleteSorry, I wondered why Camille was talking about Winnie on Mitchell's blog. But I was the idiot who was lost.
ReplyDeleteI'll try again, but not before blowing more kisses Winnie's way. While dressed up as a tradie.
We are very interested in one old Welsh Bulldog. You have let us check in on the goings on in your village and I think we've all bonded to your story. We are pulling for Winnie!
ReplyDeleteGood news that Winnie is eating well.
ReplyDeleteBadminton?
It is good to hear that Winnie seems to be doing better.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love that face - and yours also, John.
Nice to hear that you and Prof doing some recreation together.
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts your way. Hoping Winnie feels better (the lovely chicken dinner will surely help!).
ReplyDeleteShe's currently just about the biggest concern in my life - no kidding! Do tell her I'm carrying her around in my heart wrapped up in the hope that she'll soon be as right as rain again, if that's not too much to want.
ReplyDeleteYou just know we all care heaps. Good to hear you & the Prof getting some down time..things seem to keep piling on so a bit of letting off steam is good for mind & body 😊
ReplyDeleteOld slag? Oh no she's not ! She's the gorgeous Winnie to all her adoring fans. Big hugs for her.
ReplyDeleteAnother fan here. Just got home from work and had to check in straight away. So pleased to hear that Winnie seems to be rallying.
ReplyDeleteWow! On the mend. Nature's often a great healer. Maybe missing the vet was blessing in disguise.
ReplyDeleteLove for Winnie puts things in perspective. I wish it would make her well ... and do the same for the world.
ReplyDeleteI hope when you finally get to speak to the vet the news is good for Winnie x
ReplyDeleteAll the best to her and hope you hear from vet. We have elderly Tom cat with kidney failure. Stepped in a pool of cat sick with bare foot this morning. Now having to give saline injections to old boy. What joy.
ReplyDeleteShe is much loved!
ReplyDeleteBadminton? well done....just thinking about exercise makes me resolve to do it and then..... nothing...so your get up and go is admirable. Winnie scoffing her food with one eye on the catflap is a sweet picture......
ReplyDeleteWe do adore Winnie. Give her kisses from GG. When my older kids were younger, we kept the Badminton 🏸 net up throughout the summer months. I throughly enjoy croquet too. Aww lovely memories of summers past.
