Hudson's Island

Joan's kitchen has a lino floor and Hudson still has a thing about shiny floors. We had to put down a few mats and towels so that he could go Island Hopping to get around. Here he is sitting on one of his islands looking very sorry for himself.

Hudson and Alice share the sofa today. Hudson is being amazingly well behaved considering Alice is in season.

We are going to try and take a photo every day for 365 days, our own Project 365.

This is our first one of Buca and Hudson wrapping up ready for the snow that is forecast this week.

Hudson's Home

Well yesterday I came home, with my brand new hip. I had to be lifted in and out of the car but once home I can get around ok. Not that I'm allowed to. Huh. I have this 4ft square pen made of puppy panels that is supposed to keep me contained so that I can rest. Well it didn't take me long to make other arrangements.

A tip to anyone else in the same predicament. Keep banging the sides gently and you will soon be let out. I found the dripping tap approach quite successful. They can't tell you off because you aren't being really naughty but the soft persistent noise drives them nuts.

Well once we had that sorted, I settled down for a sleep and everyone was happy then.

Hudson Spinone Sunday Update

The vet has just called, he is doing well and is using his leg more and more. He is a "nice patient" and hopefully will be able to come home tomorrow if his progress continues like it is. They had been taking him outside through the fire escape as it's only a 3 rug shortcut, but today he has a length of rubber matting laid down specially for him from his kennel to the door.

We still have a long way to go when he gets home, 4 weeks before he can do any kind of exercise, no sofas or stairs but in 3 months time he should be back to normal (or Hudson Plus no doubt!).
