🎈 Today Heidi is 8 (51 in human years). I'll be 51 soon so i'll swap for dogs age this time! The annual pic of 'Bluebell at Rindlewood' (aka Heidi Hell Hound) was luckily taken last week. I told her *eyes & teeth* and she obliged 😁

Terrible night with Heidi following a terrible day. No one quite sure what's causing all her pain yet (CECS, Spondylitis, both, or something else). Back at the vets 10.45am this morning. Really distressing to see & hear her like this 😥

Y] of the Alphabet Challenge is for Yoga. Or Doga in Heidi's case. She's very good at the Downward Dog & kissing. 2 very essential exercise moves you'll agree 😄 This is an old video as sadly she cant do a lot of things now due to her Spondylitis 😔

Most photos of our 1st Border Terrier pre-date my camera phone, bought in 2012. Whiskey was my 1st ever pet & she came to live with us on my birthday in June 2006. Those 8 & 3/4 years with her in our lives were some of my happiest 🐶

We brought our first Border Terrier, and my first ever pet, home on the 11th of June (my birthday) in 2006. She left us far too young in 2015 & I had no idea how hard it would hit me. Sending love to all those currently grieving ❤️🩹
The very worst part of being a dog owner is when its time for them to go. In 10 years i've made 100's of pet memorial gifts & these are a few recent orders for Border Collie, Labrador, Shih Tzu & Welsh Terrier keyrings or ornaments 🌈

I found the very 1st walk Heidi was allowed on as a puppy back in August 2015. She looked like a cross between John Cleese & a Dressage Pony! She didnt seem to know where the gound was 😄🐎

When we come back from a walk, once I've finished grooming Heidi I make her sit 'behind the line' next to my boots, while I wipe the kitchen floor over. She gets a treat if she stays there and sometimes she even laughs at my jokes too 😄

Currently only managing 15 minute walks (7.5 mins from our house before returning isnt far) but the people of Prestwich think Heidi should always stay refreshed. She just doesnt know whether to drink from the giant dog bowl or bathe in it!

Its the little things. And this mini cracker toy from our lovely neighbour is just the perfect size for Heidi to trot about with as she cant play chase or fetch anymore. She even took it to bed for a good chew & squeak later on 🐕😄🙉
