Corky - Annabel's pup
(Preview)
Corky is doing fine. He has almost doubled in size during the week he has been here. Mum had very little milk to offer when she first came in but seems to be producing more now and he loves his grub! He is bright and alert and appears to be in very good health. She is a lovely mum to him.

Annabel went for her xrays last night. She seemed to really enjoy the ride in the car and was so well behaved in the vets. She was a real talking point, poor girl, and both vets and the veterinary nurses all gave her a good fuss. The opinion is that she has rickets. She was most probably born in a pitch black h...

So Zak may look the wounded soldier but the dog with it really bad is Tara. For a while Tara has shown sporadic lameness in her back legs especially on getting up from being asleep.
