Things take a turn for the worse…….

For a more positive start though, it seems the hosting company did fix the problem :-)

So, now I am back, which is nice.  I can post properly, add tags and everything!

But now I’m going to talk about not being so well.  And first it is Rufus who has taken a decided turn for the worse.  After a couple of days of being more sprightly and perky, we started the day before yesterday with, whilst not exactly diarrhoea, definitely things were a bit soft and also, sometimes, a bit runny.  However, last night, when we got back from our early evening walk, we also had a bit of vomiting – and it was not at all pleasant.  He seems ok-ish this morning but I can’t be sure.

People have been asking me if I’m taking him to the vet but, no, at this stage, I’m not.  He doesn’t seem in pain but obviously his stomach is not so good.  But the vet can’t do anything, really.  Sure he could give him some antibiotics, I suppose, which will work – and then, after a couple more days, we’ll be back to the same.  Alternatively, if there is something really wrong (which is just as likely), what can the vet do?  He can’t have an operation, he’s far too old for that.  And he won’t appreciate being prodded and poked.  So, we’ll see how it goes (which is what I normally say, now, when it comes to Rufus).

But I will try, this weekend, to spend a little more time than normal giving him some cuddles and stuff.  Bless him.

And then there’s me with this bloody headache thing.  I went out with A for a couple of beers and a pizza – nothing excessive – and this morning – a head like I’d drunk every bit of alcohol in Milan!  This has been a couple of weeks now.  I don’t get it.  It is very, very annoying.  However, I do remember cracking my head on an open cabinet door in the kitchen so maybe it’s just all a bit bruised is all.  Let’s hope it gets better very soon because it is ticking me off now.  A lot.

  1. HI ANDY-

    I am sending prayers for Rufus, poor baby. sigh………..

    and about your headaches. Don’t wait to go get it checked out, k?

    We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a delightful surprise dinner guest, Dolan’s new girlfriend from Italy!! Bolonia. (sp) Her accent and style was beautiful. :-)

    Love to you
    Gail
    peace…….

    • Thanks for the prayers, Gail. But, you know, when you get to a certain age ………… ? Bless him. He’s been such a wonderful dog. I will give him a cuddle from you.
      Yes, I know. I should register and get a doctor – but I’m a man and we are fairly rubbish at this sort of thing.

      So glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. And I like the sound of Dolan’s girlfriend (it’s Bologna, btw). :-D
