I did a good swim yesterday and today. After we went to the shops, I felt like the plug had been pulled. I went to bed but have awoken feeling just as drained. Perhaps it is just the beginning of a flare, the result of my flu jab, or I am coming down with something. I'll soon find out!
My Tabitha is going to live with a friend of mine as a pampered pet. I am bitterly disappointed. She has a slipping knee cap (otherwise known as a medial patella luxation). It is mild and will not harm her but it is not something one wants to have in one's breeding stock. I am very much against breeding from dogs with know hereditary defects. It would of course have to happen to the best I have yet bred. I don't know why it appeared. I know my dogs are all clear and so are the 4 generations on both sides of my dogs. Trouble is one cannot know about all of the dogs behind those one doesn't own, one is always working at least partly in the dark.
Oh, and our weather has been in the low 70s(22c) for the last week....
Another long stretch, but hoping to be more regular

I'm betting it's the flu shot. I always feel dragged out for two days afterward, and I don't have your issues, either.
I'm so sorry about Tabitha. Genetics is bizarre. How else could the same parents produce such very different children?
You're absolutely right about the dog's ancestry. Wouldn't it be easier if you had the line way back? Poor little Kelly got almost all the defects of her breed. It doesn't bother her, though, now that I know how to put her little knee back when it comes out. It's only happened once in 9 months, so it's not a big deal.
I'm glad your girl has a good home, but sorry you had to give her up.
I'm sorry about Tabitha...too bad I don't live closer. Then maybe she could have lived with me! :-)
I always feel a bit off a couple days after my flu shot, rest and take care of yourself.
Oh no! You are having to give up Tabitha. How sad. I had great hopes for her.
