Happy birthday squiggles ❤️ We never expected

Happy birthday squiggles ❤️

We never expected you would reach 7, let alone be doing as well as you are. You are a proper little fighter and still the happiest and most optimistic dog I have ever met.

Happy birthday Raven ❤️🥳🥳

Are munsters vocal? It’s one of those questions

Are munsters vocal?

It’s one of those questions you get asked quite a lot. Dill is a serial whiner, Raven barks more.

Until you do something they really want to do… you see Dill might look like a munsterlander but actually he is a fish or maybe a hippo could be more accurate because if you get between him and water… you know about it, for he tells the whole world, very very loudly!

So here is Dill today, shouting at Paul for being too slow throwing his dummy into the water after having swum the width of the lake and back several times! If anyone tells you these dogs calm as they get older… they lie 😂

Pretty sure it was the first time Raven has done any scurry stuff because of her spine but what the hell! Once she realised what to do she loved it ❤️

It’s been a while since the dogs have had a good run on the bike.

Dill is like Paul’s old pair of comfy slippers. At 11 years old, he knows his job and the pair of them together - it’s something special. Even if Dill is far from fit, he can’t do what he once did but he can have fun and these moments are special ones.

Mozi and Raven both got to have a run. Raven bless her wasn’t very confident with her turns but I’m not sure she has done anything much in harness for close to a year so we will take that. Mozi was Mozi, in his own head, happy to just exist.

Lily came but she can’t run in harness anymore because of her back. She was on mooching and toddler sitting duties.

We really need to do more of this. Hopefully this is the weather changing now and we can get them out more 🤞

Lily had to have an op to remove a lump from her leg on Tuesday. Whilst under she was also having X-rays taken of her hips, knee and back to see what was going on as pain relief we had been trying didn’t seem quite enough and in my head her HD had got a million times worse. We wanted to see what we were actually dealing with.

This is probably why imaging is so important and why I’m quite quick to ask for it! Lily had previously been on librella as we assumed her HD was getting worse, her back legs seemed really stiff and after she had a lump on her back removed she lost a lot of muscle mass due to how long recovery took.

The X-rays show her hips haven’t really gotten any worse since when we last xrayed them. Her spine tells a very different story. We didn’t X-ray her spine last time so this was missed as I’m guessing this has probably been more of an issue for a long time than her hips have ever been.

Anyway she has spondylosis. We know Raven will end up with it but I guess it’s not a surprise Lily has. It’s not uncommon in very active dogs and it can be a genetic thing too so maybe she just got super unlucky. Anyway she has a large spur and a few more forming. We had already taken her off librella as it didn’t seem to be doing anything and her new mix of meds will be better for this. We may still have to mess around with them a lot more but at least we know what we are targeting now.

She is an old girl and we will continue to help her enjoy life any way we can.

On plus side her op site is looking good and as long as she stays on strict rest we are hoping it might be okay 🤞 luckily she is an amazing patient ❤️

Just a little reel of Raven showing signs of heat-related illness. Even when it is freezing she can pant similar to this but where it has warmed up she is not recovering as quickly. Both these clips were at the end of 15 minute walks - that was it. She is a mad hunting dog with no self preservation so I don’t let her hunt the whole time, she does a lot of heel work to help stop her overheating in these temperatures. Thankfully Dill is too old to be that much of an idiot anymore and Mozi has a higher temperature tolerance than the munsters.

She was soaked after the second video both before coming home and once home and she then recovered fine. Might have been different if we had done our normal walk. Yesterday she was a little wobbly whilst panting which had me worried but she recovered.

Be sensible people- know your dogs!

Some would say as you get older, you get wiser and more refined….. and then there is Dill who won’t ever change 😂

11 years old, utter idiot, still pretty certain the world revolves around him, doesn’t understand what obedience means apart from humans doing what you want when you want it…. Standard Munster!

Little squiggle ❤️

She can be so utterly annoying and irritating but also the most loving little dog. She is a complete whirlwind and utterly crazy but at almost 7 years old her brain appears to finally be falling into place.

It has taken her so much longer than it took Dill, not sure if it’s partly her lines, the fact she is a mad huntress and Dill was always more of a retrieving dog. Could be gender differences, could be due to her accident - but she was a saint as a puppy and when she was initially allowed freedom but pain does weird things to your brain!

Either way, she is doing good if we could just control ourselves and the excited squealing and barking then that would just be 👌 but it’s Raven so that won’t change 😅

Mozi monkey ❤️

Even almost completely bald and with a sunken head (hate you steroids!) he is still the most regal looking of our dogs. You just put him somewhere and instantly looks as if he owns the place!

My special girly ❤️

Old age comes with some perks like going out for toddler trips because you are the bestest and don’t mind the not walking anywhere.

I don’t take anywhere near enough camera photos anymore so trying to change that. It’s just tricky juggling it along with a toddler. If we didn’t have a lot of expensive things coming up this year would totally be looking at trading in for mirrorless right now.

Anyway here is one from @ntfountainsabbey!

Happy 12th(!!) birthday to Lily ❤️ I can’t believe you are 12! Hope we have many more years of you being a playful forever puppy ❤️❤️

Happy 8th birthday to Mozi! Honestly just glad the big doofus is still here and currently stable compared to what he was going through last year! He still lives in his own world which inside involves snuggles in a cave bed or forever hoping food will appear and outside finding all the rabbits and then crying about it if they don’t run 😂

Another year of Crufts complete!

Oddest moment: a women carrying her 14month granddaughter appeared on the discover dogs stand and put her granddaughters face in Dill’s face within seconds of arriving.

I was in complete shock. She wouldn’t have even seen our toddler at that point because she just appeared and did it instantly. I mean kudos to Dill for being awesome with it but if she did that to the wrong dog 😬

Crufts with a toddler is different but so much fun. Was amusing watching people double take as they walked past the stand to see little man in with the dogs. Think next year we will try and go twice, once with the dogs and once without so we can go to the main arena which we haven’t done in years!

Hope everyone enjoyed Crufts - looking forward to next year already 😁😁
