Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my 4th Birthday! Happy Birthday to me!

Unfortunately the weather is really horrid :-( Muzzle was hoping to take me to the woods for a lovely walk but she has postponed because of the awful wind and rain. Said it's not good to be around so many trees in case one falls on us!

Muzzle did bring me some free-range chicken in bed earlier though, which I ate snuggled under my blanket. Nom!

Hello again!

Hello, we hope you all had a great Christmas and have a wonderful New Year :-)

I have some news - I have a new Sister, called Daisy. You can see her on Muzzle's blog, here. She has perfected a very sweet and innocent, butter wouldn't melt look for the camera!

Muzzle was taking some photos of her last night and making noises to get Daisy to look at her and I was intrigued too, so I got off the sofa, stuck my tongue into Muzzle's mouth and asked her to photograph me too. Not that she needs asking as she says I am beautiful and a true joy to photograph.

That Friday Feeling

Hello, long time no blog again, sorry. Hope you are all well.

We had some more bad news about Jasper recently, the vets found a tumour in his abdomen area :( Due to his heart problem and general fragility, in discussion with various vets, Muzzle and Dad decided not to put him through surgery or anything else invasive. So we are counting each day with him as a blessing. He is doing ok at the moment and still up for little walks.

I did have some Good News recently though, following my last blood test for my liver enzyme levels. Visit Muzzle's Blog to read about it :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Love Minnie-Moo xxx

Find your sunshine ...

... adopt a rescue dog.

Muzzle took this photograph of me this week for her blog and said it is one of her favourites ever of me. So we thought we'd share it here too :-)

Wordless Wednesday

Remembering my Best Big Sister Ever

Today it would have been my big Sister Cassie's Gotcha Day. Muzzle wrote a long blog about her here.

Muzzle and Dad got sad lots today, but we decided to remember all the wonderful years and times we all shared with Cassie too and celebrate her life. She really was the BBSE!

Sorry also to the lovely people who had left comments on previous posts. Muzzle hadn't had any notification of them so had only just seen them. Not sure why they didn't come straight through. Usually it's just the spam that gets held back.

Love Minnie-Moo xxx

Thank you!

Thank you so much to the very gorgeous Dexter who very kindly requested good thoughts for me on his (and Mango's) blog and thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to post here and wish me well. We are so grateful for your thoughts.

Muzzle says I look so fit and healthy but the results are still really worrying her (and the vets are concerned too and talking about ultrasounds). We are really hoping that this new supplement does the trick and brings my results back to an acceptable level on the next test.

Could you spare some thoughts for my little old brother Jasper too please? He's 13 plus and has a heart murmur and now his liver isn't looking so good. He is still very much enjoying life, but he could do with some healing energy too please. You can meet him here.

Love Minnie (& Muzzle)

Good thoughts for my liver please

Hello, hope all my blogging friends are well. A special hello to the gorgeous Mango as he has been a bit poorly of late :( We have always loved Mango and his gorgeous Lab brother, Dexter, but ever since we lost our brindle girl Cassie last year, we have loved the Mango even more. Nothing beats a gorgeous brindle Mastiffy creature.

Muzzle is worrying about me at the moment and would like to ask for your good thoughts. I had a routine blood test a few months ago, which showed my liver enzyme levels were elevated. It was retested a few weeks later and the levels had risen (though I had had an operation and medication so we thought it might be related to that).

I then had a re-test a couple of months after that, after being on Milk Thistle for about 8 weeks. The levels had increased again :-( Muzzle took me to see our holistic vet today and we are trying an additional supplement for a month and then doing *another* blood test. I may have to be sedated and have an ultrasound after that.

Muzzle and Daddy are worried about the sedation and we just want me to be all well, so if you have any good thoughts to spare, we would love some to head my way. I am looking really good, am full of energy etc., but that isn't stopping Muzzle worrying.

Love,

Minnie-Moo

What happens when Daddy's left in charge ...

Hellooooooooooooo

Hello, is there anyone out there? How are you? If anyone is still following my blog, please post and say hello and let me know how you are doing.


Haven't blogged for AGES, sorry. Muzzle is really busy on the computer working and trying to help rescue doggies.

I had to have a lady operation a while back, which went very well and I'm all recovered and back to bouncing around now. Here's my I've been running after my ball again face.

Have fun!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my blogging friends.

Sorry I've not been posting as much as I once did,
but I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New Year!

Love, Minnie-Moo & family xxx

Muzzle and Me

Muzzle took this photograph of the two of us recently. We love each other very much ...

Mr Moo's Gotcha Day

Yesterday we celebrated my big brother Max's (AKA Mr Moo) eleventh Gotcha Day.

Muzzle says if you see him bouncing around and standing on his hind legs to try to grab apples from the tree (a trick he has very kindly passed onto me) you'd not think he was almost 12, but he is!

A few of our favourite photos of Mr Moo. For those of you who don't already know, I got my name because of him. When Muzzle and Daddy were waiting for a Lab pup to come into rescue, Muzzle was struggling to think of a suitable girlie name. She was having a chat with Mr Moo, as you do (you would, if you met him!), and told him that the puppy would be a little version of him, a mini-Moo - and there was my name, Minnie!

Love you Max ♥

Incoming tuna cake ...

No more apples ...

My brother Max (AKA Mr Moo) and I like to eat apples from the garden when they fall from the tree. Muzzle lets us have some but stops us having *too* many - although her idea of too many seems to vary from ours!

She made us come in yesterday so we couldn't have anymore. This was my pwease can we have some more face ...

Black Labradogs are the best!

I have entered Dexter's black Labradog contest - you can read all about it here on the blog he shares with his lovely brother Mango.

While the untrained eye may think us black Labs all look the same, we do in fact vary quite considerably as I'm sure Dexter's contest will prove.

I may be slightly biased but I think us black Labradogs are the best. Muzzle says we're like sunshine and have such joy of life. She says we're always ready to go do something and have great enthusiasm for everything, whether it just be popping into the garden, or being fed, or going out for a great walk.

Muzzle says black Labradogs are always fun to be around and full of love and really enjoy spending time with their family and that she always plans to have at least one in her life at any time, preferably more :)

If you're a black Lab (anywhere in the world) and you have a blog, you've still got a little time to take part in the contest - just follow the link above for info on how to submit your photo etc.

Here's a photo of me that Muzzle took ages ago but only re-discovered recently. Not the one I've entered for the contest of course as that would be a bit too helpful to those trying to guess which photo is mine!

Thanks to the handsome Dexter for running this contest,

Minnie-Moo
