Baxter Update by Michelle

Sorry for not posting an update in ages.  We have been really busy.

Firstly Finley is now a British citizen, as are Baxter & I and has been issued a GB passport by DEFRA.  In October 2009 we will be able to travel back to the UK without 6 months quarantine.

The washing machine has been fixed twice after Finley the belligerent destroyer attacked it.  It is his nemesis.  We are looking to find a builder who understands metal framed houses so that we can enlarge the kitchen & move the utility room to a different area of the house where the washing machine will be safe.

Baxter has been training for his silver KCGC and Finley for his bronze KCGC.  Unfortunately Finley understands the concept of sit & stay.  Baxter philosophy is never to be alone hence finds this a tricky move.

The fences have been replaced & “touch wood” has not been destroyed.  We just need to paint it and replant the garden.  The 80 year old on one side of my house & the 73 year old on the other side of my house are really pleased.  No more ad hoc four legged visitors.   

We are re-upholstering a settee & chair from the late 1960’s.  A bit of a scary challenge.  We Will let you know how we get on.

Lastly Baxter has picked up an infection which has gone onto his liver causing hepatitis.  As a result his colitis has re-emerged & he has also managed to get conjunctivitis & a spotty nose.  So he now has antibiotics, metronidazole, eye drops and an antibacterial scrub for his nose.

However we are all well & enjoying life.

The weather is also getting slightly better.
