It’s Halloween….

And I was far too lazy to make a Halloween photo so I asked ChatGPT to make one of the photos I took of Dill at @tattershallfarmpark and change the background so it was more Halloween and this is what it came up with!

So for those that celebrate - happy Halloween!

Pumpkin patch day! Dill got to go last year becau

Pumpkin patch day!

Dill got to go last year because he was recovering from bloat, this year he got to go just because… we were going to take Lily too but it was getting cold and windy and thought she might be better staying home.

He did some expert posing, though we also got some slouching 🙄

Think he enjoyed his trip out though ❤️

Happy bloatversary Dill 🥳 This time last year

Happy bloatversary Dill 🥳

This time last year you were at the emergency vets shocking the vets at how well you seemed when your insides were so twisted and having the operation that saved your life!

Wasn’t sure whether or not you would pull through especially when you bloated a second time but you are a fighter and I have always said you will live forever because you like torturing us so… I still stick by that! 😂

Still we are glad that a year later you are still here causing trouble in your own way. You are a one of a kind pain the bum and we adore you ❤️

Some words of wisdom from Dill:

- Always bark when you swim, it reminds everyone how much of a fish dog you are

- If someone leaves a ball in the water then grab it and swim it across with you

- If you have a ball in your mouth don’t let it stop you barking like the crazed animal you are

- When the ball falls out your mouth due to barking, grab it as quickly as you can and continue barking

I was going to wait till we had the official photo

I was going to wait till we had the official photos to post something about @tridoguk but maybe it’s better to do when it’s all still raw.

This was probably Dill’s last event. He has completed 11 triathlons and the original duathlon. He has podiumed at all but one (though if a thunderstorm hadn’t stopped play he would have then too!). It is his favourite event by far, he has always let everyone know it too.

Last year we thought it would be his last but due to the Sunday being cancelled due to the weather we all felt it wasn’t right to say that was it. Two months later he bloated badly and we nearly lost him.

Last year the one day they competed Dill did the tri in 22:01 minutes. This year, at almost 11.5 years old and really unfit, having very little muscle he did it in 22:27 and 21:46 minutes. Yes he is a bit sore, yes he will definitely need some massage time but my word this dog. Paul thinks the quickest they ever did it was 19 minute something so to only be down a couple of minutes in his state says a lot about his mental work drive. Paul didn’t push him at all, it was all done at his pace.

So is it his last tridog? Being realistic- probably but I get the feeling that if Dill is up for it next year then he will get to have a go. Not sure Paul will say no to him unless he physically can’t complete it safely.

What an event and what a dog ❤️

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-

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.
