Beech's 1st moho adventure

[BriannYe]

Sorry to hear about Beech. So pleased for you that everything is looking good.

 

[scousebird]

Ah, poor Beech, I hope you've got lots of treats for her.

 

[Helen Ariel]

She's home. Time for her humans to wait on her hand and foot. She is so skinny now! The photo the vet showed me of the tumour was unbelievable. I feel so bad as we thought she was getting a bit tubby as she's less active these day. Home made chicken and rice dinners for the foreseeable.

Blimey that was a worrying time for you both, glad she is home and on the mend, our Izzy had some lumps removed recently, the collar of shame was the biggest problem, she was soon back up in the hills and her demanding self. Bob.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Good to see she is "home" and she is comfortable.
Think with what's on offer we would all like to come round for dinner. .

Get well soon wishes for Beech...

 

[Shrimp]

Don’t worry Beech you’ll be galloping around again soon.

 

[Podney]

Good news! I quite like chicken and rice myself.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

How's Beech today? Is she walking around yet?

 

[Helen Ariel]

Well we're all feeling much more positive today. Beech has improved leaps and bounds over the last 2 days. She pretty much seems her normal self today and we had a check up at the vets. They are really pleased and tested her urine and blood and all is good with her kidneys. I still can't get over how skinny she looks now. She's enjoying having 3 meals a day for sure.

We are also looking forward to our last 2 weeks here now as the forecast (surf and weather) is looking great and our closest neighbours who we've become great friends with have changed their plans to stay on too instead of leaving on Monday. We are all going for a surf tomorrow, having a bbq with fish from the market and then a fire with marshmallows and chocolate and bananas in the embers. We've all been a bit flat the last week with poor weather and everything else so it's nice to have something planned.

Our little row of lovely German neighbours. The space next to the red van is where we have a fire pit. This was 6pm today. Wonderful to see the sun after a gloomy, damp week. The British receptionist at the vets said it's the worst winter since she's lived here 30 years.

So pleased to hear Beech is doing so well and good to hear of weather improvements and the plans of you and your new friends.
It is good to read something positive.

 

[Podney]

[Jimbohorlicks]

Good to hear Beech is ok,she looks well.enjoy your 2 weeks.

 

[Helen Ariel]

Lovely starry night and the cicadas? are singing again.

Healing powers of hounds never cease to amaze.
Beech, although feeling sore, is probably also feeling a whole lot better not lugging a huge tumour about, nor having it squeeze her organs.
Is it being tested for malignancy?
Or is there no real point.

Yes being tested but 2/3rds of these are benign and her bloods and scans didn't show signs of cancer so

So pleased for you and Beech.
Don't go and feed her too much, she looks good!

No we've always kept her trim but we had reduced her food as we thought she was getting fat but it was all tumour and now she looks too thin and ribby when standing up.

 

[Northernraider]

So glad beech is on the mend ....its horrible when they are poorly.

Have you got residency in Portugal now or are you planning on heading home for end of march?

She has made an amazing recovery, thanks for asking. Obviously that means we are good too!

Weather has picked up and is 18c and sunny most days, plus the surf has been consistent so our days are spent bbqing and surfing. Some beer is being drunk too!

Fantastic! So glad Beech is fine. Apart from making me jealous (again),the wild flower photo reminds me of those on the cliff top walks near you. Lots of blues and yellows and purples on plants seemingly growing on bare rock,and oblivious to the strong winds. They all have them as you know,but Carrapateira springs to mind.
