Finally

Well it has been 3 and a half months since Barty hurt his back. I thought the homeopathic Hypericum was working but after 3 days he went backwards. Since then my father died and my mother had a mini stroke which has precluded any further research. Poor wee soul has been on Tramadol and PLT for about 5 weeks and I think we are finally getting to the point where I think the disc has gone back in.

He didn't limp yesterday for the first time and this morning daft b*****r went off after rabbits with dear Chloe and didn't return for 30 minutes. He still isn't limping so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

There are times when my decision years ago that he would enjoy life to the full as a lurcher should is sorely tested and I want to wrap him up in cotton wool and ban him from doing anything remotely dangerous.

Still, to hear him joyously yodelling in the morning when I come downstairs still makes my heart sing and he is back yodelling in fine voice.
