Long absence!

Wow. Has it really been three months since my last post!? In my defence things have been rather busy. Since I last blogged, I moved house then started a new job four days later. We've been in the new house about 6 weeks now and things are starting to find permanent homes - I only unpacked the last box a week ago!
It was such a good decision to move. Both Gareth and I are so much happy and calmer in this house. It has a very cottage-like feel so it's easy to feel relaxed. Plus the absence of bedbugs certainly helps with anxiety levels!
My job is going well and I actually get supported training (as opposed to being thrown in and expected to be soley responsible for an area I know nothing about!). The people I work with are great, and one of the the benefits of my job entails free entry to Bristol Zoo!

The dogs are doing OK, although we do have a minor concern with Willow as a urine sample showed elevated levels of protein, glucose and some blood. It may just indicate an infection, but we need to get a further sample to the vets soon. She isn't being co-operative and as the sample needs to be tested an hour after taking, it's proving difficult!
Tangent is doing well at Dog Club, and is starting be more creative with the behaviours he's offering for livercake.

I'm off to Crufts this March too, to watch the Obedience and partake in the splendours of the stalls! The tickets arrived this morning so I'm counting down to then!

I will endeavour to update this blog more frequently than quarterly from now on!

Welcome back to the blogging world! Hope it's nothing serious with Willow.

Hi! Her second results came through today. Fortunately, everything normal, so the previous test must have been just an anomaly or maybe the tail-end of an infection (i.e. cystitis).
