Wind............ :(

Oh dear Clark, he is really not enjoying the Cornish weather and on todays walk he was buffeted about and his ears were flapping - not a happy WFT! 

He does enjoy going out for a walk but doesn't like to walk in the puddles as shown in the short video. He enjoys the fields normally and this morning it wasn't as windy and he had a little canter around on his new long lead but this afternoon (when I had my camera) he just plodded on looking very sorry he was out in the howling wind! He sat down and refused to move at one point!! 

He soon got back to his happy self once we started heading back towards home. He is a sensitive little soul and just needs to have patience and understanding when he feels unsure or worried about things. Walking back up through the lane some galvanise sheets were clanging on a old water butt and he stopped and hunkered down but when he realised none of us were worried he gradually came on passed it. Little steps..... he has two Lakies showing him the ropes.

Here he is waiting patiently for the wind to stop blowing and for the lakies to finish their game of zoomies........ we are all looking forward to the day Clark joins in!

We took him down to mums today to meet the hens and ponies - he was great with both, he didn't really react to either. He stayed clear of Reuben  (a naughty shetland) but wasn't scared just sensible. The hens didn't run away or fly, whether he would give chase I don't know but he was very relaxed around them and just ambled through the field with them milling about. Wena and Molly would have tried to eat them! 

He is doing really well healthwise and his dribbling has reduced considerably and although he still leaks a little when in a deep sleep.... the Propalin is working really really well. His eye although cloudy is looking less sore and but again the Optimmune is helping a lot.  We have decided not to do more tests (scans, xrays and dye) as yet but if there is mileage in doing those tests in the future we will. Siobhan (our vet) is taking into account that if the sphincter was damaged in the ruptures or repairs further ops may not help and if we can improve the sphincter with the Propalin then that may be the best option. We shall keep it all monitored and if she feels further tests will help we shall go down that road then. 

And so to end another day with Clark, loving him more and more each day, he is such a little character.  His sleeping positions are worthy of any terrierist and he snuggles in and gets comfy with a little contented groan into his favorite bed. Paw over nose or leg out straight....either way suits him!

Night night, sleep tight little one
