Gilbert the Good – update
Janice has hauled the puppygro off me again, twice. She washed it yesterday but then it got wet this morning when I went out. There are lots of puddles in the garden and I think it came untucked and dragged in one of them . . . or else I peed on it . . . so she heaved it off me. She said it might smell, otherwise. I thought that wouldn’t matter too much – it would only smell of me and that’s alright in my book, Honestly, the woman’s got a positive fetish about washing things as you can read here.
The humans have got to ‘keep an eye’ on Roxy’s lumps. I wonder how they’re going to do that? Whose eye will they use? We all need all our eyes and anyway how would they make it stay in place? It sounds daft to me but I’m only a dog, so what do I know?
Did I tell you that Roxy’s got kennel cough? I don’t know where she found it as she only sees me and Arthur and Lottie. It’s not very bad and the vets have dealt with it. Roxy told me she had something sprayed up her nose – no wonder she’s coughing.
Jellicoe’s coughing too, but Janice thinks it might be ‘reverse sneezing’. That cat can’t do anything the simple way.

Oh Gilbert - you are SUCH a pretty dog. I can almost feel how soft your pretty fur is.
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: Thank you. Too kind. Woof!
DeleteThank you Gilbert, I hope it won't be too long before you don't need the puppygro anymore. I also hope very much that Roxy is getting better.
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: Thank you. We all think she'll get better soon. Woof!
DeleteWhat a handsome man he is! And his eyes look both sensitive and gentle.
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: Thank you. If dogs could blush, I would be scarlet. Woof!
DeleteOh Gilbert what a very wise Doggo you are . You have it all sorted which is more than we can say about the hoomins .
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: You are too kind. Hoomins are pretty stoopid, all told. Woof!
DeleteOh gosh GIlbert, it's always good to hear your news, but for your sake and for the rest of your family/menagerie, we hope there's less cause for medical updates soon.
ReplyDeleteToodle-oo!
Nobby (and Gail).
Gilbert says: Thank you, Nobby and Gail. Woof!
DeleteGoodness! Kennel Cough...Never heard of that,
ReplyDeletecourse there's no doors on a kennel, must be a
bit drafty....
And hopefully you've got more than one puppygro! :).
Hope Mum has got you at least 2-3 for a change when
they get grubby...! HeHe! Bless!x
And l hope Mum..(Janice)...has'nt started coughing yet!

Gilbert says: Thank you. I've only got one puppygro so it has to be washed and dried immediately. Still, Janice hasn't got anything else to do. Woof!
DeleteGilbert I just noticed in your top photo above that you have got a grown up dog face now - and a beautiful face it is too. I hope Roxy's lumps are all benign and the rain eases up and you all get out for a good long walk when the puppygro finally comes off for good.
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: Yes, I'm a big boy now. We're all looking forward to a good walk soon. Woof!
DeleteAll very well for you to feel quite relaxed Gilbert, but there is serious stuffs happening around you. The 2009 post by Janice about washing for you critters was quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: I'm only a dog so what happens in the rest of the world doesn't affect me, thankfully. Woof!
DeleteVery good news about you, Gilbert. Not so great about Roxy and Jellicoe - hopefully they will improve soon too. xx
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: Thank you, Joy. We're getting there. Woof!
DeleteI do hope you are feeling more like the yourself today and ready for lots of fun with the other furry friends that live with you. Sending best wishes to Roxy and Jellicoe. Hope their cough clears up quickly. Us humans seem to have lots of coughs at the moment too x
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: Thank you. My humans are sneezing a lot. Perhaps it's all their fault. Woof!
DeleteOh dear Gilbert, you are such a good story teller. All that washing and eye balling going on. You'll have to watch the whole family gets along OK or send them all off to the vet for nose spray, lol.
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: Thank you. They wouldn't like the nose spray so I think they'll all behave. Woof!
ReplyDeleteGilbert, I'm happy to hear your healing is progressing nicely, even though you must remain "dressed" in the puppygro a little longer, and hope that Roxy and Jellicoe will also keep well.
ReplyDeleteGilbert says: Thank you, Stephanie. Woof!
DeleteOh dear, I'm sure you're more than just a little fed up of wearing your puppygrow ... and Janice of washing it :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of kennel cough ... hope Roxy's getting better soon! xxx
Gilbert says: Thank you, Ann. Janice loves washing . . . Woof!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Gilbert, your people are busy these days just tending to you and your fellow furry residents. I hope everything settles down soon. And of COURSE it was the mud puddle that caused the problem, that's our story and we'll stick to it, eh? lol Get better soon, Gilbert! (Janice, I read your "I live to launder" post and am dizzy just thinking about all the laundry for so many pets :))
ReplyDeleteJenny, it's no wonder our washing machines wear out so quickly!
