More Rest

AncientMum knows best. I have pulled some muscles from coughing so much so am taking more rest days, plus too much of my dad's homemade 'Jungle Juice' (16%!) has left me with a headache today. So it's me and doggins looking mournfully for our exercise *sigh*

I will come back with a vengeance though.... you wait and see!

16% sounds like kill or cure to me!!!

Lovely dog, looks like my son's one. Is it a lurcher and if so, what mix? They have no idea what theirs is. Take it easy and come back fighting fit.

Thanks :-)

We suspect collie, lab, lurcher but don't know. She was discovered in a dustbin with the rest of her litter :(

That's the same mix we think Jake is. He was abandoned in the streets of a small town and my son got him from The cat and dog home 3 years ago. Looks like both have ended up in good homes :)

Your dog is gorgeous! Hope you feel better soon. Is it your ribs or stomach that's sore? I always fing coughing makes my lower stomach really painful.

Ribs. Ah, it hurts!

I'll be fighting fit in no time, thanks :-)

Hope you feel better soon and dogging can lose that reproachful look!

Shove up on the injury couch m'dear, I'm coming to join you. Left knee's a disaster zone today after yesterday's run. So sorry you're suffering. I hurt my ribs too when I had the chest infection, but round the back. It was horrible, so you have my sympathies. Have you got some antibiotics or are you trying to tough it out?

Will bring Dandelion and Burdock and carrot cake with me. There should be a stash of sweeties behind the cushions but it may need replenishing by now, I think Aussie was on the couch last week!! :D

*moves over and produces fresh stash of pistachios and chocolate*

Let's have a feast!

I'm waiting to see if it either clears up or gets worse before I see doc. I'm thinking chocolate, Dandelion and Burdock, and carrot cake will definitely help.

Aussie can still join in .... let's throw pistachio shells at the bin

Sorry about your knee :(

Pistachios!!! I may need to be forcibly evicted from the couch if they are pistachios in the vicinity :)

Not what you're looking for?
