Attacked by Arthuritis!

Hi Everyone,

I'm not very well . As you will know I got Cushinged many years ago and I have to take tablets - I don't like doing it but they scare the Cushings away so make me decushinged so that's good. But now I seem to have been attached by ArthurItis! Emma got very worried cos I was doing a lot of panting and shaking and cos some weeks ago my dear vet Nicki told us I had a heart murmur, she thought it was my heart and she got very scared and took me to see Nicki straight away. It wasn't my heart. I like to follow my humans up and down stairs so that I can be with them all the time but my back legs seem to have stopped working so I can't bounce up and down each stair like I used to. Nicki said Arthuritis has stolen my muscles! Well she said something else but that's what I realise she meant. I have lost weight on my bum and now and then when I'm standing I just fall into sitting cos my back legs don't work. It's not very nice and it hurts so that's why I have been panting and shaking. And now and then I yelp when something hurts when my humans try to pick me up, but I try not to cos I want them to carry me . Nicki gave me something called metacam. It's not a nasty pill that tastes horrible if you chew it by mistake, but it's like sweet water and I can have it on my food. Emma is saying it's Miracle Medicine cos it does make me a lot better and it must have told Arthuritis to stop being painful. Here's me feeling poorly and then me happily sleeping on Emma's lap after I'd had my metacam.

My problems are cos I'm an old dog. And they're not very nice but really I am very lucky as I don't have anything very, very bad. Some of my dear humans have had the really bad thing cancer and they were looked after Macmillan Nurses so I've set up a page to raise money for themhttps://www.facebook.com/TedTerrierMacMillan . Please do go there and bid on nice things or donate some money.

Lots of love and licks, Ted Terrier XOX

What's That Autumn Thing?

A little while ago I told you about being Autumned. Then this got dropped in front of me by Autumn and I want to know "What's That?" Will it move? Can I chase it? Or can I eat it? Or chew it? Or lick it? Or poke it with my nose? Is it part of a game? Or should I run away? Or do my whirly welcoming dance for it? Please tell me if you know :) Love n Licks Ted Terrier XOX

Autumn Ted

This morning I was minding my own business - rather than anybody else's though I often have in mind the business of my humans and ask Emma to write about it but this I wouldn't normally ask her to write about cos I write about my humans more than myself, but I am doing cos it was worth minding about for dogs and humans. I went out into the garden to do the business every dog has to do in the morning - and at other times - and this happened! And then dear friend Sue Mynall painted it happening so we're sharing with you! It's called Autumn apparently - though if you're American it's called Fall and maybe that's more sensible cos it's leaves falling off the trees but I don't know what Autumn means - and it meant I got covered in leaves of all sorts of different colours and I got blown about too and rained on a bit too and it's still happening so be careful when you go out cos you may get autumned too :) Actually it is sort of fun if it's not raining too much so you don't get too wet and not blowing you too much so you fall over and you can chase the leaves. Emma says it's very pretty and she likes it. It's also cooler so if you don't have a ready-made coat like me that you've grown all by yourself it may be good to put one on.
HAPPY AUTUMN EVERYBODY!

Manchester Dogs Home Fire :( XOX

Perfect Pooch Ponderings :)

Just posted this up at amazon.co.uk: "Emma and me wanna tell you about the highly moving and entertaining biodography called 'Nobody's Poodle' of the totally Gorgeous Gizmo aka Snr Giz, who with human mum Nikki Attree runs Wooftastic Books (http://wooftasticbooks.com/) which has books by and about dogs including ours but this is about his one. It is the story of how he travelled from the UK to Tenerife following his then humans, but how so sadly they abandoned him - they had reasons and he was very forgiving but it's still a very horrible thing to do - but how he bravely survived all sorts of adventures and perils, which make you laugh and cry and bark and howl all at the same time and different times too. Giz is a highly intelligent pooch - like me I have to say ;) - with a wonderful wit and sense of the different personalities of his fellow species - that's dogs - who come into his story and make us cheer and growl and yap and do whirly dances in sympathy, sadness, annoyance and joy. Giz is so courageous and though his story will have you on the edge of your seat or biting your paws in concern it all works out fine and we won't spoil it by telling you how except that it has to do with lovely Nikki Attree :).

Sadly too many dogs get abandoned by humans but fortunately so many of them then get adopted by other humans to go live in their furever homes. Dogs love humans unconditionally. Well this dog - me - Ted Terrier - absolutely adores them! Please, humans, read this story and be inspired to do all you can to help and adopt abandoned dogs or support the charities set up to help dogs with no homes to look after them or find new homes. Love, hugs and licks Ted Terrier XOX"
