Inspired by Terratoonie and dear Truffles and rising to the challenge Sheilar!!!!
Once upon a time 7 tiny wee pointer puppies were born

Their mummy Prudence and Lulu loved them very much (and the whelping box made an excellent pit stop at parties!

Of all the puppies..there was one we girlie, whom we nick named ‘the big white slug’ because she was the biggest, whitest and definitely the fattest!

And a puppy in the hand is worth 7 in the whelping box (only sluggies ear fits in my hand now!)

Sluggy and her mum have always been close…

And it didn’t take long for Sluggy to weedle her way into Davids heart too!!

They learnt to walk, well sort of!

Pru was able to leave them sleeping…

And their tummies grew fatter….

And fatter!

They learnt to play

And then one day…got really BIG!

Naughty…

Learnt how to annoy the cat…

And their Mum!

Sluggy ended up staying and was stuck with her ‘nick name’!! She joined me at the computer

She joined me in the garden

And watched our wedding video and recognised her mum and auntie (very funny!(

Our Sluggy pup has turned into quite a character

Bless her!

21 Nov, 2011

 

Omg Lu......I can't take any more of these. They really do just melt my heart. Love, love, love them!
Agree with Paul about the cat pic as well :)

Great to read about such lovely dogs, Lulu! Takes me back about 20 years when we also had lots of puppies, fortunately from a lot smaller dog than yours! We kept 7 dogs for many years! No gardens for us in Spain, or here in the UK, as we've always lived in flats!

I used to be know as Ben Hur where we used to live! You can imagine having 6 small dogs each pulling on its lead, 3 in each hand & the mother & grandmother walking ahead of us!

When we came back to the UK 10 years ago we brought 5 back with us! The last one died about 2 years ago. Now we have been alone without any animal company of any kind since she died. Before she died we had all kinds of animals in our flats over the best part of more than 30 years! Birds, Bats, Hamsters, Cats, a Guinea Pig & Dogs, lots of dogs!

22 Nov, 2011

 

Lovely blog and the photo`s are smashing and inspired lots of ahhhh`s Lulu.
Made me think of my sons female "Lady", she is a pointer/spaniel cross and is so like yours apart from shorter legs, very affectionate and also loves to tease their cats, I`ll see if I can find a pic to show you...

22 Nov, 2011

22 Nov, 2011

 

Such a lovely blog. I have to say that the cat's eyes do look scared.

23 Nov, 2011

 

Great blog, Lulu, beautiful pups, especially Sluggy pup :)

23 Nov, 2011

 

Oh...my...goodness! I think I'm suffering from an overdose of puppy cuteness! Nah! Bring them on!! I can take it! Many as you like! Just gorgeous, Lulu! Tummies on favs...

23 Nov, 2011

24 Nov, 2011

 

So sorry you've ended up in hospital, Lulu, and hope you are home by now and feeling much more comfortable. Take care and be a good patient patient :)

24 Nov, 2011

24 Nov, 2011

 

put your feet up and get well soon Lulu

24 Nov, 2011

 

Don't have much choice Stevie, attached to tubes! Thank goodness have made enough
for the show!

24 Nov, 2011

 

get well soon lulu x x

24 Nov, 2011

 

hope you soon feel better Lulu-- my mum had gallstones and a lady I worked with had kidney stones and said the pain was worse than childbirth.......

24 Nov, 2011

 

lulu, im really sorry you are poorly ~ hope you will get better really really soon.

what is that stevie like!!!

24 Nov, 2011

 

Sorry to hear you're unwell :o( A speedy recovery to you Lulu x

24 Nov, 2011

 

Sticki, I have offered to give Lulu a go on my skateboard for when she gets better ; )

24 Nov, 2011

 

oh, thats really nice ~ she will get better superfast for that!!

24 Nov, 2011

 

Speedy recovery,Lulu..but without the help of Stevies Skateboard ! Take care..x

24 Nov, 2011

 

for when she gets better!!

24 Nov, 2011

 

I was just about to comment re incorporating your delightful little 'friends' ?!?!?!?!? into a mosaic & then thought, hang-on, better read-up in case its been mentioned already, & yep, there it is, so, its still a brilliant idea isnt it S the T, & better than earings Im sure. Been there with just the one 'stone' Lulu, doc had to be called out as I was delirious with the pain so joking apart I know its rough. Mindyou, that pethadene jab in the butt was really REALLY nice, talk about drifting away with a smile !! We will be thinking of you on the 7th.
ps: brace your self for the related poems, your not getting off that lightly you know LOL ;-))))))

24 Nov, 2011

 

Tee hee might mosaic them but think they get smashed up. WiFi keeps cutting out another pain. They tend only to give morphine nowadays bampi but i used to have great fun on pethadin!

24 Nov, 2011

 

when i was at school one girl brought in her mother's stones in a tupperware pot ~ they weren't smashed up!!! but that was a while ago!!!

24 Nov, 2011

 

Can't beat Tupperware for keeping things fresh,Sticki !
Oh ,lovely Pethidene...remember that well..it made me even more delirious..The 'high' bit was fine,but the 'coming down' not so good.I might have been better off with magic Mushrooms..allegedly...getting back to gardening ?? ..sort of ..Lol.

24 Nov, 2011

 

i had pethadine but it didnt do anything for me ~ only remember being hungry afterwards and wanting a mars bar!!!

24 Nov, 2011

 

Hope you're soon well Lulu. Thinking of you. X

24 Nov, 2011

 

..and that folks,is why Sticki was happy ever after....:o))

24 Nov, 2011

 

what the mars bar??

24 Nov, 2011

 

Exactly ! :o)..what else is there ???

24 Nov, 2011

 

prefer mars ice cream to the bars!!

24 Nov, 2011

 

Oh nooo,Sticki..far too sickly sweet,even for me ! Just going to have a couple or three pieces of A...i chocolate with almonds.:o) Don't want withdrawal symptoms..Lol.

24 Nov, 2011

 

the pyramid one?

24 Nov, 2011

 

I don't like chocolate with bits in.. its the smooth creamy chocolate as it melts in your mouth-- think of the red lindt...mmmmm...I'd gone there for a minute... as its only 6.30 am maybe not yet.....Morning Lulu hope you got some sleep and feel a bit better...x

25 Nov, 2011

 

Morning all. Bit of a.morphine night last night. Looks like another day here. Becoming a.bit tired and emotional!

25 Nov, 2011

 

You poor henny..been there..not nice! get better soon xxxxxxxx

25 Nov, 2011

 

Haven't seen that one,Sticki..just the bar..must pay more attention,next time ! :o)...Oh,Pam ,..naughty !
sorry you didn't have a good night,Lulu...hope you feel better as the day progresses..and sorry for hi jacking your blog with chocolate...take care..it will be over soon..X

25 Nov, 2011

 

Sorry to hear you are unwell Lulu.....at least you will be over the worst by Christmas. A good excuse to put your feet up over the festive season!!!! :o))))

25 Nov, 2011

25 Nov, 2011

Pam, dogs are closed in the kitchen, I must be ill!! Too big and bouncy!
Night all xxx
If I can't sleep will either start writing a book about hospitals (see my last comments on my puppy blog) or will be back on GoY. but fingers x'ed think I would do best with a bite to eat and to sleep.

25 Nov, 2011

 

havnt you got any valium

25 Nov, 2011

 

Nope! I do have a sleeping pill but don't dare take it on top of everything else!! It's 8pm, have eaten scrambled egg and am now in bed with dog Prudence and will try to stay put and sleep!!

25 Nov, 2011

 

I'm pleased to know you're home. Are you feeling all right ?

25 Nov, 2011

 

a sleeping pill wouldnt hurt lulu honest xx bit late now thow lol xx .

26 Nov, 2011

 

Have slept ALL day today! Am now in bed at home with Dear Prudence curled up next to me!
I went over to stay with a friend last night she gave me her comfy spare room and played surrogate mummy!
Right, back to sleep!

26 Nov, 2011

 

Hywel, I feel not very well at all!!! Lots of pain, can't eat or drink much I think better to just sleep until I feel better.

26 Nov, 2011

 

So sorry for you, Lulu! :-(( Hope you get some sleep & recover very soon.

26 Nov, 2011

 

chicken soup is good when you finaly can eat xx

27 Nov, 2011

 

i agree nosey!

hope you feel a bit better today lulu

27 Nov, 2011

 

Sleeping 20 hours a day at the moment! Trouble is, only allowed up to 8 painkillers a day, every 4 hours I can take them, which leaves 8 hours of pain! What to do!!
Have managed to eat an egg today. Poor David, tired from the Newmarket sales has come home to cooking and cleaning! Also he is showing signs of sympathy pains, which he got last time I had stones!

27 Nov, 2011

 

thats a man for you!!-- sorry Lulu-- don't laugh!
I do hope that the pain eases for you soon, with love and very gentle hugs...xxx

27 Nov, 2011

 

Just checking for updates on how you are....Linda x

28 Nov, 2011

 

Thank You girls. No painkillers today, which is brilliant. Changed the bed sheets and put away washing, am now exhausted! Sleeping lots and lots. Waiting for the date to start the treatment, either Dec or Jan. Dec is right bang in front of my exhibition and Jan seems so far away, and the tube thing (a stent) inside me can be very uncomfortable.
Living off tomato soup and no alcohol!!

29 Nov, 2011

 

Good to hear that you didn't need the painkillers today, Lulu! December begins in a couple of days time so maybe you'll get your treatment soon.

You'll have a face like a tomato soon - all round & red - with all that tomato soup! LOL!

29 Nov, 2011

 

This is really serious....what! no alcohol!!!! :o)))

29 Nov, 2011

 

Tried a sip of wine this eve, it tasted horrid!
Date is set for 7th Dec, in a week, eek!

30 Nov, 2011

 

That is good Lulu.....you should get your taste buds back for New Year! :o))

1 Dec, 2011

 

Very true Linda. We are taking my folks, 3 dogs to a hotel in Exmoor, no cooking or washing up for us this year! Just the bill!

1 Dec, 2011

 

Just catching up! Sorry to hear you have been in hospital Lulu ... & now have toothache on top of it all (read that somewhere else). I had several bouts of being rushed into hospital with gallstones, so I really sympathise with you. The first time, the Dr gave me Pethidene about 5 mins before the ambulance arrived & it took the pain away but made me very edgy & I by the time I got to ER I couldn't sit still. I just wanted to get out of there & back home. On the other occasions, I had morphine, & it was brilliant for me, though got the usual nausea with it. But I felt so relaxed. I had my gall bladder out eight weeks ago & went back to work five weeks later (I'm a nurse at a general hospital). I still get a bit of pain in that region, but its great not having to go to bed every night wondering if I'm going to wake up a few hours later in agony. Worse with kidney stones, as they don't just whip you into hospital & take your kidney out. I do hope it all settles down for you Lulu, cos the pain is horrific.

1 Dec, 2011

 

Oh Dwyllis, gall stones are not good :(
Trouble is they did whip my kidney out in the end which is why I'm so nervous about the one I have left!
There were a few people in the ward having had their gall bladders out, seems to be quite rife in the uk.
Pethidene used to work well with me but now makes me sick and also it's one of the last resorts at pain relief they usually use morphine which only just works with me and of course makes us feel sick.
In 1986 I spent 5 days on pethidene and just slept alot. When I saw my Mum coming to visit (she wasn't a good hospital visitor!) I used to say, 'quick nurse, another one of those injections please!!)
Back to hospital to see what they can do next Wednesday.

2 Dec, 2011

 

Be thinking of you next Wednesday. Lulu! Hope you will be reasonably well again by the time Christmas arrives. Good luck to you! :-))

4 Dec, 2011

 

Thanks so much Balcony, am feeling a little nervous now!! Will let y'all know how it goes. x

5 Dec, 2011

 

Oh, Oh, nearly 100 comments, well that's a first!!

5 Dec, 2011

 

Am sure I can jush this blog up when I am bored and lonely in hospital Wednesday night!!

5 Dec, 2011

 

thinking of you Lulu....xxx

6 Dec, 2011

 

Thanks Pam x Only looking forward to the 'G & T' pre med!!

6 Dec, 2011

 

;o)......xxx

6 Dec, 2011

 

Looking forward to your updates & to seeing you back at home making more of your lovely glass mosaics!

Will be thinking of you tomorrow & wishing you all the very best! :-))

6 Dec, 2011

 

Thanks for all your wishes x
They got 3 out of 4 stones I think! No one around to tell me what happened. Glad to be home but a bit sad that no one is spending any money on my mosaics at Cheltenham :( No one spending at all.

10 Dec, 2011

 

at least you're back home now Lulu, hope you feel better soon ...xxx

10 Dec, 2011

 

Good to see you are back home now, Lulu! If they have removed the majority of the stones you should feel much better shortly! By Christmas you'll be back to your old self!

11 Dec, 2011

 

Hope so B and P, one more op in Jan unless asparagus and coke x 6 cans can zap my stone!
Christmas shopping this week,, house work and party for 10 on friday............eeks!

12 Dec, 2011

 

Good luck to you for Friday!

13 Dec, 2011

 

Just getting organised now......big shop today and a tidy, will let you know what we cooked after the event.......!!

15 Dec, 2011

 

Glad the op went well Lulu, hope you feel better soon, party for 10!!! you're brave, think I'd get takeaway much easier after what you've been through :-)

15 Dec, 2011

 

I know, could probably do without it, get on with xmas shopping etc!!

15 Dec, 2011

 

Yep its that time to try to tick those pressies off the list. Personally I think we should all agree a national maximum of £5 per pressie or something handmade. Hmm now how many pallets do I have left

15 Dec, 2011

 

The only pressies I don't have a problem finding are the ones for the dogs!!

15 Dec, 2011

 

I suppose you don't let them watch the ads on TV, do you Lulu?

15 Dec, 2011

 

Sweet, Cute And very Lovely:-))))))))))
