Battle scars
Posted: Saturday, 10 November 2007 |
Hi y'all
Busy busy busy. That's been me. Keeping the local hare population down, chasing the odd rabbit in Balvicar - just the usual kind of stuff in the life of Coco.
Had a bit of run in with a fence last week and tore my shoulder. Of course, it didn't stop me running around and enjoying myself. Dad tried to take me to the vets on Thursday but the ferries were off due to the bad weather. So I soldiered on for another day and then had my visit to the vet on Friday. Now it's not my favourite placeI have to tell you. Dad had to leave me there and then they came at me with a needle and then hey presto, my shoulder is now restitched - looks brill actually. Makes me look like a real hard case I reckon (but all of you know that I am a big softie at heart!) 7 stitches that have to come out in about 10 days and antibiotics. Of course, Mum is away earning the money to pay the bill so all is well on that front. Won't have to go out begging on the streets just yet!
Had a few days away last week in Pitlochry. Mum and Dad went to visit the enchanted forest. Of course, I wasn't allowed to go to the forest at night - that was for humans only. But I had great adventures in the woods during the day. Then they took me to the hotel for the night - very nice too it was. I decided to sleep on top of the bed for a while, then when they kicked me off I tried under the bed. Best bit is licking them awake in the morning - they really seem to appreciate that!
Had a horrible night last Saturday night - they only decided to set off a load of fireworks didn't they. Now this is where being a real hard case kind of comes unstuck - I hate them. They were banging above my head. I tried to get in the bath but that wouldn't make them go away. Mum had to turn the X-factor up a bit to try and disguise the noise. After hearing that I think I preferred the fireworks! Anyway that's the end of them until next year. Thank goodness.
Mum's away again for a couple of weeks so it is just me and dad enjoying our space in the house - him with a small glass of something and me with a piggies ear - bliss. And we don't have to watch Coronation Street whilst she is away.
Won't leave it so long next time - I am hoping Santa might bring me my own laptop so I don't have to sneak in and use the computer that they use but there isn't much hope of that. Suppose it will be a frisbee and a few packets of chews again for me (as long as I get a plentiful supply of the old PE's as well!).

Stitches out
Posted: Monday, 19 November 2007 |
Well the good news is that I have been into Oban this morning and got my stitches out. I was a really brave boy but they did insist on putting a muzzle on me. I think that's because I once took exception to them sticking needles in me and tried to get my own back, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, as a reward for being a brave boy the vet gave me a couple of biscuits so we remain friends, but will never be best friends.
Had lots of walks yesterday with Dad. It was a bad day weather wise but we got out and about anyway. I also had a play with my frisbee over the weekend - in the sea and in the quarry. I love getting wet so this kind of weather doesn't bother me one jot. Even Dad seemed to enjoy it.
I hear him talking to Mum on the phone in the evenings. She is still away but should be coming back soon. The disadvantage of that is that I will be left at home with her during the day and won't be able to go to work with Dad. But I suppose I should welcome her home. At least I might get the odd walk during the day and get to see some of my pals.
Whoops, think that is the door opening - Dad back from his dancing class. Best go and pretend to be a dumb animal again (if only they knew!)

Stitches In
Posted: Thursday, 22 November 2007 |
It's a bit like the okey-cokey - you put the stitches in, take the stitches out. I then split open and you put them it again! Yes, I have had another trip to my not so favourite vet in Oban and had the stitches put in me again. I split open! This time they knocked me out good and proper and have done a real good, Coco won't tear these out, stitches.
We will just have to see if it works!
