Pupdate I posted mid month about Milo’s chemo, and he’s since been to the local vets to start the final cycle of this protocol. Two years on from his diagnosis it’s great that the treatment is working :) Double Whisky Burns Night at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society was a lot of fun last year, […]

December 2024
Pupdate The boys have enjoyed having their people around a bit more than usual and some extra long walks. Though the weather hasn’t always been obliging. Mum’s 80th My mum’s birthday falls just before Christmas, and this was a BIG one, which called for a family gathering. My sister drove her down to join my […]

November 2024
Pupdate The weather has been pretty miserable, so long walks at the weekend have been into town rather than out on the fields, and coats have been needed for the latter weeks. Milo’s chemo has continued with a few little hiccups caused by low neutrophils, so even more trips to the vets :( But he’s […]

September 2024
Pupdate The bad/sad news at the start of the month is that Milo’s back on chemotherapy; though it seems to be going well, and we’re already almost at the end of the first cycle. Apart from that the boys enjoyed some long walks before the weather turned. Navy Reunion It’s been 35 years since a […]

August 2024
Pupdate The holidays brought the chance for longer lunchtime walks :) Zig A bunch of smart (network) engineers kept mentioning Zig to me, so I took the opportunity to try it out. It’s supposed to be a replacement for C, and I was impressed by the bitwise switch statements in the fizz-buzz sample. If I […]

July 2024
Pupdate July (finally) brought some decent weather, at least for a bit, including our trip to the Lake District (more on that later). Milo also had his first post chemo scan, which looked good (and got its own post). Berlin part 2 After getting stranded in Berlin at the end of last month it was […]

June 2024
Pupdate The weather for June has been… variable, with some glorious days, but also some torrential downpours. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the boys muddier than they were after this particular walk in the woods. EMFcamp cont. Last month’s post came midway through EMFcamp, so there was more fun to be had. Saturday was […]

April 2024
Pupdate A trip to the North East provided the chance for some beach walks, which was a new experience for the boys. They seemed to enjoy it :) Tynemouth With some inspiration from Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes we looked for somewhere we could take the dogs with us for an Easter break to catch up […]
