So sorry to hear that Gertie has had such a tough time. Hopefully, that is all behind her now. I also hope you are starting to feel stronger now. Take care. xxx
Poor Gertie, poor you! I'm so sorry Vanessa and thank goodness for friends who will drop everything for a call of help! I do hope Gertie's check up is positive too - I'll be saying a little prayer, for you both! Sending healing hugs across the ether lovely... xx
PS As for veggie gardens, I think I may have to do the same next year... not only is there never enough time in the day to tend mine but honestly I think my green fingers are rotting!
Thanks Susie, I think Gertie is just fine! Yesterday she managed to climb up onto a mattress on top of bed and other mattress (think Princess and the Pea). She did however then whine until I appeared to lift her down since obviously deemed it too high to jump. This has was repeated at 06:30 this morning 🙄 I do love her but she’s high maintenance sometimes 😂
As for veggies, I shall happily support our local growing and delivery service instead thus helping support a local family, reducing waste and easing guilt of failure! Xx
Oh, poor Gertie! And poor you! I'm so relieved to hear she seems over the worst, but obviously still to be investigated 🙏🏼 As for you, my Plucky Chum, I'm sorry fatigue continues yo plague you, coupled with an overactive mind! At least with my chemo fatigue, I have also lost my brain 🤣
Your garden sounds divine, and I can't wait to be fit enough to visit. Sending masses of love xx
Thanks Eve, I fear you are far more deserving of any sympathy than either Gertie or I 😂 But must confess I’m slightly driving Mike mad with my endless reimagining of every room as I rest on the sofa 🙄 xx
I am so sorry that lovely Gertie is not feeling so well. I remember Heini doing something similar and what a panic! Thank goodness for your kind neighbour Steve. Fingers crossed it was just the medication side effect. I hope you soon feel less fatigued and more energised by your growing garden and planning for the next season. I am with Mike on the alliums :)
I hope Gertie is on the mend soon. That must’ve been terrible for you to deal with , but thank God for Community! And I’m completely with you on vegetable gardening not being your forte. I have grand hopes every year but then forget to water my seedlings and that’s that. I dream of a beautiful cutting garden though.X
Thanks Aimée, I’m so lucky to have lovely neighbours. Veg gardening is pretty hardcore I reckon - but perennial flowers and a sprinkle of annuals are surely achievable…..! Xx
Oh poor baby! I can't remember where you live, or what your weather has been like, but about 30 years ago, my lurcher-of-the-time Twiggy had a heat response, which seemed just like your recent experience with Gertie...
We’re in Somerset where it was no more that 17/18 degrees I guess, and she’d been just pottering along so probably not heat related. Actually she’s funny if she considers it too warm, moving from one patch of shade to another! x
I really hope that you and Gertie will both be feeling much better and more energised soon. Perhaps she’s just a very empathic dog and was reflecting your fatigue?! 😘😘

I’m hopeful she’ll be okay, and as for alliums - any suggestions on some that will stand happily above the hydrangeas? Xx

Oh gosh poor Gertie and poor you!! Hopefully you are both on the mend. Sounds like a bit of a week! Xx
She definitely seems better, hopefully it isn’t just the Metacam masking anything…. 🤞🏻

Prob not then, this was walking with my children in Bedfordshire one very hot summer holiday afternoon.
Hope she is all ok now❤️
She certainly seems happier…🤞🏻

Funny, someone else suggested that maybe she has Munchausens 😂
😂😂
