Over the weekend Holly went to the vets for her 6-monthly check-up. I had been a little concerned about her breathing and also her ever decreasing bark.
After a good long listen to her lungs and heart and a good going over Holly was declared, discounting the wobbles, a very fit and healthy dog. There is nothing wrong with her lungs that the vet could detect and he thinks that the occasional breathing issues I have heard may have been due to how she was positioned at the time. The decreasing bark is apparently something that does happen to some dogs as they get older, their voice gets hoarser as time goes on.
On Sunday we had a trip out to a fun dog show at a nearby donkey sanctuary. We caught up with friends and sat and chatted as well as watching the various classes and the always-entertaining terrier racing. I didn't enter Holly into any classes as she doesn't really do standing still (unless it's her choice or we are waiting to cross the road) but we did win a cuddly donkey in the raffle.
Everyone commented on how well she looked as she busily and industriously scoured the ground checking for dropped food items and eating them all up.
Looking back at earlier blog entries I thought that Holly was on a decline in the run up to Easter, however she seems to have bounced back and appears to be all set for a Summer of walks, camping and barbecues. Or if the weather continues as it has been a Summer of rain, mud and soggy strolls.
