Pupdate It’s been pretty cold and wet, so the boys are needing to wear their coats outside. Milo had a scan at the start of the month. Initially things were looking good, and the plan was to stretch out the next visit to three months time :) But then the technician noticed some lymph node […]

Pupdate Autumn is upon us, and it was a wet start to the month, but that hasn’t stopped the boys from being enthusiastic about their walks. Clear scan Milo had another scan at the start of the month, and once again it was clear :) That means we’re now on the longest stretch of remission […]

Pupdate It’s been warm and dry[1], so the boys have enjoyed some nice long walks. Fringe Edinburgh Fringe was a regular feature of the twenty-teens for us, but then Covid happened.

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 […]

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 […]


Two more months have rolled by since the last scan and Milo has enjoyed a nice summer of long walks and no vet visits (apart from his routine vaccinations). Sadly the most recent scan picked up some inflammation of the lymph nodes, which suggests that the cancer is back. But once again we’ve caught it […]
