Hi everyone. This is Lilie the Westie.
Logan and I went to the vet last week.
All ent well. Our weights are perfect, and the only problems we have are the issues we knew about with my itchies and bad legs.
Just thought you would like to know.
Lots of licks,
Lilie
Hi everyone. This is Lilie the Westie.
Me and Logan went to the groomer a couple of days ago.
But Mummy and Daddy forgot to get photos of us. Sorry.
Only Daddy takes us to the groomer now. Mummy can’t any more. I don’t understand why, but Mummy and Daddy say that with Mummy being sick it’s easier if Daddy takes us by himself. And me and Logan don’t mind too much, as long as we get to go. We’re always glad to see Mummy when we get back home though.
Lots of licks,
Lilie
Hi everyone. This is Lilie the Westie.
I had one of those birthday things on Tuesday.
I’m now seven years old.
I got a donkey toy and a chewie stick.
Here are a couple of photos of me with the toy:
I love birthdays!
Lots of licks,
Lilie
We rehomed Artemis the tortoise.
With my decline in health, and the living room being turned in to combination living room and my bedroom/hospital room, he wasn’t getting what he needed any more. He was ending up stuck in his vivarium all the time, getting very little attention. He was not a happy tortoise, understandably.
Now he lives somewhere where they can give him plenty of time out of his vivarium. They also have an outdoor enclosure for days when the weather is nice enough for the tortoises to go outside, which is something we could never provide him but is good for him. And, yes, I said, “tortoises,” since they have another tortoise already. They did have two, but lost one to medical issues last year and had been toying with the idea of getting a second again. Then I said I was looking for somewhere for Artemis, so they felt it was meant to be.
They’ve sent us a couple of updates. Artemis is being well taken care of, and he’s clearly happy now, which is good enough for me. There were some photos with the updates, so we could see that for ourselves.
Here are a couple of those photos, one of which includes his new friend:
A short collection of poems of various lengths and styles, all with one thing in common: they were written for - or about - some of the various pets my hubby and I have had.
The poems in this collection are mainly about chinchillas and dogs, though other types of animals – in particular degus - sometimes make an appearance too. All poems are captioned with details of the pets they were written for or about.
"Pawfect Pet Poems" is now available as an audiobook, narrated by Chanelle Marie Allen.

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but this book was entirely written, recorded, and produced by visually impaired individuals, since both my narrator/producer and I are totally blind.
Hi everyone. This is Logan the Cavapoo.
Me and Lilie got the thing we wanted most from Santa Paws: Mummy stayed home.
We also got a cuddly pheasant toy each and a pack of chewie bones to share.
There aren’t any photos though, because we were super excited, bouncing everywhere, and didn’t feel like posing for photos, so Mummy said to just leave it and let us have what Santa Paws left for us, since we were much too excited to co-operate with photo time.
It was a great Christmas. Not just because we got a new toy and treats. But because Mummy was there to share it with us, which is better than all the toys and treats in the whole world put together.
And, yes, she’s still home with us now. Where she belongs!
Lots of licks,
Logan
Dear Santa Paws,
Mummy and Daddy say you are coming soon. I’ve been a very good girl, so I’m sure you will be bringing me something nice. remember to bring something for my brothers too. Yes, even the tortoise.
The thing me and Logan want most though is for Mummy to stay home with us and Daddy. She keeps going to the people vet, and we don’t like it. Please make her stay home with us where she belongs.
Lots of licks,
Lilie
When we took the dogs to the groomer a couple of weeks ago, we used the transport company we’d used to take them to the vet. They’re useful, and much cheaper than cab fare, but not particularly great at being reliable at timekeeping, and seem to keep forgetting I’m blind even when I’m standing right there. We couldn’t book a ride back from the groomer with them though, because they didn’t have an available car (even though I’d tried to book a couple of weeks in advance) so I had to look for an alternative option for picking the dogs up.
Luckily, as it turns out, there’s a second transport company recently been started up in the area, which works similarly to the other one, and I was able to book the second trip with them. So far, I’m more impressed with this second company, since they arrived on time to pick me up, and were a lot more helpful to me (which makes me feel better about any time I might need to use them without Kelly joining me on the journey).

The Autumn Equinox was a couple of weeks ago, as I’m sure you know.
With my lack of energy and not feeling great, we didn’t do much, but we made some apple pie and had it with ice-cream (dairy-free ice-cream for me, of course). So at least we did something nice for the day.
I’d have liked to do more. But between how I’m feeling in general and having been out to take the dogs for grooming the previous day (even if the trips there and back weren’t long ones) I didn’t have the energy.

I went to the sleep clinic (eventually – after the hospital transport got sent on such a stupid route we were all late for our appointments, so grateful the hospital takes responsibility if we’re late on their transport and fits us in when we finally arrive) and got the device they wanted me to wear for the sleep study.
Hopefully they got something from that device, because Kelly helped me make sure it was turned on (because, of course, it was all visual and not accessible to me) but when we got up in the morning it was off. We don’t know how, or when, it got turned off, but it happened some time while I was sleeping. Anyway, I’ll find out in a few weeks, when they say I’ll either get asked to do another sleeve study or told the results of this one.
In the meantime, my MRI appointment came through, so I have that on October 11th.
