The last few days

Hi all.

It's been a little dull on my side of the pond for a few days. I've had to keep mum company a lot while she has been sickies. The couch in the lounge has been "base camp" for her, and for me too. She says she had problems with her tummy, but judging from the 87 trips to the bathroom she has had (per day) I think it might be the ...ahem.... other end. Just sayin'.


Needless to say - we have caught up on a lot of recorded TV shows, but she couldn't manage to sit up and supervise my computing and blogging. I'm tryin' to catch up on the stuff I missed.

Every day - dad dad has given me a little break from my nursing duties, and taken me out for a walk and little run. We are having such lovely weather at the moment. The real hot stuff is finished and now it's just warm and nice. We even had about 15mm of rain on Wednesday so the gardens and trees and bushes and stuff are very happy too.

The really AMAZING thing that happened while mum was "down for the count" is that she approved dad dad to do an evening cookfest in HER kitchen!! He made roast chicken with all the stuff, he even had to give me my evening meal twice!! Mum says it's good for dad dad to keep his cooking skills up - and he admitted to  feelin' rusty about it!! He did good (no fire alarms or explosions), and mum didn't have to stand up. You had my support and full-faith dad dad!


I can declare that the chicken was good! Yummers even!


But don't worry, even though we couldn't go to doggie skool today :-(  mum still did local training with me in the house. She is almost 85% better she reckons.


Now - most impawtantly - I wanted to say a personal CONGRATULATIONS to my dear furiend MAGIC from the Yoooo - Kaaay. Magic had FOUR puppies this week while I was minding mum, so I wanted to send BIG HUGS and schnauzer LICKS to her and her peeps - especially Leigh. We are all over the moon. Rest up girl. If you don't know Magic click on her name to see her bloggie and send some love her way.


Gotta go now - mum is wanting to rest again and keep her fluids up. Might mean trip number 88 is coming soon!!!! BOL!

Nurse Rubie

Hi everyone. You may have noticed not much has been happening on my bloggie lately. It's like this..... I've had to concentrate on my nursing duties for my sickies mum.

This has been my "nurses station" on the end of the couch. When I am not there (a girl needs to occasionally patrol the yard and perimeter fences etc) I make sure that Lenny the Leopard is there to keep her company.

I can't say that it has been a lot of fun..... kinda boring really watching mum be sickies....but we are watching a lot of foxtel and TV together. Another of my jobs is making sure she takes all her pills three times a day, and that she keeps her liquids up. Dad has even had to get into the kitchen more - he is in charge of our breakfasts! I do quality control of her food to make sure it is up to scratch for getting her better. I must say the toast and scrambled eggies are a winner! :-)

Dad's been feeling sorry for me, so he has been taking me out for walks to break the monotony of me watching mum get better.

It's a tough gig - but someone has to do it. We are making inroads...... I can see improvements....after all she turned on the computer for me today so I could knock up this short entry.

Anyway - gotta get back to my Nursing station now.......gotta get mum well again!
