Farfl’s first hotel stay

Finding a dog-friendly hotel is no easy feat. Last weekend was visiting day at my kid's camp. In Sudbury. Which will mean nothing to anyone unless they live in Ontario, Canada. I'm a city slicker now, but I grew up in darkest Warwickshire. Very pretty, very rural, tiny village, not much going on. But a damn site cuter than Sudbury. But I digress - this blog post is not supposed to be about...

Farfl at Afrofest 2009

Jess dug it for a while then got tired of it. Farfl was happy to take it over.... With her in the bed is the little squeaky crab toy her breeder Lenni Reed sent home with her. She still loves it! It was the...

Farfl has been spayed!

Yes, Farfl is back from the vet's having been neutered. I picked her up from the vet's at lunchtime today and all is well. She has a couple of stitches and had two baby teeth taken out at the same time as being spayed - the vet even kept them for me! Apparently she did really well - sometimes chihuahuas' breathing can get "huffy" while under anaesthetic, but Farfl was fine. She was agressive to...
