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 The central heating went on a few days into the month, and it was also soon time for the boys to be wearing their coats out.

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. This year was our first time back, and it was great. We saw: They were all fantastic, and I’m not going to pick favourites. […]

Pupdate The fair weather has (mostly) continued, which allowed for some nice long walks. Milo turned four at the start of the month :) Brussels The end of the month brought the half term holiday, and Mrs S wanted to spend the first weekend away somewhere. Brussels quickly made the top of the list after […]


Milo is four today, another milestone worth celebrating :) Last week he had a scan, which followed 8 weeks after the end of his third (modified) CHOP protocol. The scan was clear, so we’ll be back to NDSR at the start of July. It’s all a very similar situation to a year ago. Insurance ManyPets […]

Day 1 was all about getting a feel for the event. So […]

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, […]


Today brought another trip to North Downs Specialist Referrals (NDSR) for Epirubicin chemotherapy that comes at the end of this cycle of the CEOP protocol. One more cycle to go for this protocol. No scan this time, that will wait for our next visit in (hopefully) eight weeks time. If things are looking OK then, […]

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 […]
