The vet detected a slight heart murmur in Roger but told me not to be concerned with it
I’m not….
He was also so captivated with him, he brought two of the vet nurses into the consultation room to meet him
“ This is a delightful dog “ the vet said lifting Roger’s chin with a finger and Roger wagged his tail and stood on hind legs to sniff faces and lick noses.
“ He’s a superb boy you should show him “ he added
The nurses crowded round cooing and I beamed like a proud dad at the nativity play as they tickled and hugged him.
Roger lapped it up and trotted on tip toe
Tonight, at college I’ve passed my main final practical assessment in my counselling course alongside my three besties…the feedback from my tutor was lovely and very gratefully received
Even at 61, I still need positive feedback
Look at that face! We should start a Roger fan club.
ReplyDeletePS: Congrats on passing your assessment x
DeleteThank u
DeleteCongrats on passing your final!! Roger's quite the lad, isn't he, the ladies love him.
ReplyDeleteAnd the gents do
DeleteRoger and yourself John must be glowing with happiness this evening x 🤗
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day you had! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWell done both of you!
ReplyDeleteIsn't there something about teaching old dogs new tricks? We continue to learn
ReplyDeleteWell done in passing our course (along with your besties) and doing yourself proud!!
ReplyDeleteRoger is precious and I hope that heart murmur doesn't hamper him in any way.
Hugs!
A good day.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your test results and great feedback from your instructor. Roger will be well cared for during his stay. The staff seem quite taken by him and he by them. You'll miss Roger but knowing he's in good hands is great.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise there! but congratulations anyway. It's always nice to accomplish something like that. And to have a dog that everyone loves, as well -- I have one of those: Duckie Doodle the Dumpling Dog. -Kate
ReplyDeleteWell done on passing your assessment-you have worked hard to achieve it and praise is well deserved. Catriona
ReplyDeleteWe all, no matter our age, need positive feedback. Roger is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteA friend told me that mitral regurg is as common in dogs as in humans, and it's more often than not no reason for concern.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on your exam. Well done.
Enjoy your time in Venice, I look forward to photos of your time in one of my favorite cities. I occasionally visit it in my dreams.
Tell me where to go
DeleteYour positive feedback is well deserved, you worked hard. Congratulations! GG
ReplyDeleteWell, both you and Roger have had a good day. He'll be fine when op time comes around. He'll have so many people fussing over him! Huge congratulations on passing your assessment. We all knew you'd do it! 😘 xx
ReplyDeleteI love Roger. Can't help myself.
ReplyDeleteWell done! You put in the 'hard yards' on those assignments, so BIG Congratulations. It's lovely that the vets appreciate Roger - will you consider showing Roger, or do you have enough on your plate without that as well? Enjoy your time away - aaand please port photos, for those of us stuck at home.
ReplyDeleteXx
DeleteSpellcheck ... and ... post ...
ReplyDeleteLol something I should do
DeleteCongratulations to you & your course besties on passing the assessment! Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteRoger is such a sweetheart. May his snip & recovery be uneventful and swift.
Stay safe & well, John dear.
You too deArheart x
DeleteGood job on your course. Every human being requires positive feedback regardless of age!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t realise how important it was
DeleteOn my deathbed I am sure I will want to hear my children say, "Oh, Mama. You look so beautiful."
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen photos of you, they will indeed x
Delete"I beamed like a proud dad at the nativity play" -- you have such a way with imagery! And congrats on your tutor's glowing assessment of your performance. Well deserved, I have no doubt.
ReplyDeleteThank you both counts xx
DeleteJohn - I am ninety and positive feedback on any topic (especially how young I look!!) makes me feel good for the rest of the day. But I learnt long ago in teaching that the way to get children interested and learning and motivated is positive feedback just as negative feedback does nothing for them at all. Hope Roger is brighteyed and bushy tailed - the same (about feedback) applies to dogs too. x
ReplyDeleteYou have always been a roll model for me pat, always xx
DeleteWell done, and well done Roger. Our church is having a fun 'dog show' on Monday. We might enter Billy for something.
ReplyDeleteNow there’s an idea for a hall show in the village
DeleteHmmm people are very precious about their dogs, even fun categories can become very competitive, ask A why we never had one at the flower show
DeleteThat was Tweetart
DeleteRoger seems to have such an endearing nature. Hope he is better soon after the op.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your practical results and feedback. I agree that we all need and enjoy that at times.
The older he gets , the gentler the nature I see, he’s even more gentle than William who was a real gentle dog
DeleteWhat a wonderful photo of Rodger, he does look like a lovely boy.
ReplyDeleteGood news about your positive feedback. We all need that !
We do , I think,
DeleteHe is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou know you've got a good animal when the vet praises it. I'm surprised he suggested showing him, though. Most vets I know don't approve of shows. I know why, too.
I don’t do tell, I’m intrigued
DeleteThe vet loves Welsh terriers because they are an ancient breed which has few genetic issues
Well done on passing your assessment, you worked hard and the results paid off. You deserve praise. As for Roger, what a beauty. Just as Mary is too.
ReplyDeleteYes let’s not forget the old gal xxx
DeleteRoger is superb and so are you.
ReplyDelete🥰😍😊😊😊😊
DeleteAh, lovely Roger. Well done on passing your assessment in the counselling course John. x
ReplyDeleteThank u Simone x
DeleteTwo pluses in one day. Congratulations. Long may it continue. Roger's face is so lovely (our groomers often get it wrong. Once, Elsie came out looking like a Shih Tzu).
ReplyDeleteMy Meg once was cut terribly and looked like a Pom Pom
DeleteAwww Roger the charmer. What a day of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteHe has the ability to make people fall for him , just by standing and smiling at them
DeleteWell done both!
ReplyDeleteTa muchly xxx
DeleteCongrats on passing the assessment! Roger is indeed a lovely dog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve xx
DeleteTwo high praises in one day (well, one for the dog.)
ReplyDeleteI’ll take that
DeleteMy last old boy was diagnosed with a heart murmur when he was 2 years old, he lived to be 16.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on passing the assessment.
Thank u Anne xx
DeleteWell done on all your hard work, retraining at any age is hard. I wish you the best for the future in transitioning to a new field of work when you are ready.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Kathy from Cary IL
