Another beautiful morning. Dry weather while Sophie's leg has been healing has been a godsend. There was only one day when her plaster cast had to be wrapped in a freezer bag to stop it getting wet. The stitches were removed by the local vet. Sophie didn't complain ( Bob would have given an Oscar winning performance ) and is now mightily relieved to have the plaster off. The collar will be kept on for a day or two ( at night and when unsupervised )to stop her nibbling at the scar.
Bob stayed up late 'webinaring' with 'The Font', the Pasadena astrophysicists and the Chinese girls who look sixteen but have triple doctorates in Particle Physics. This morning the family fellow gives me his '' Blimey ! Don't tell me it's time to get up " look. It's unusual for him to sleep in. He has trouble navigating down the stairs. Tomorrows battery of tests and meeting with the specialists can't come quickly enough.
The little market town just coming to life when we arrive to pick up the morning croissants.
A stylized tree has appeared outside the bank. It has railings around it to prevent the town dogs from adding their seasonal greetings. What is wrong with a real tree ?
There's time to stop the car and have a stroll along the old Roman road. Bob walks by the young cows with the briefest of ' Morning Girls ' acknowledgements. He has exciting scents to follow and some badger poo to savour. Something strange and unconnected about his movements today although I can't quite work out what it is. Every time a new generation of PONs join the family I vow not to worry about them. Some chance of that.

Glad the stitches came out so smoothly. Thinking of you as Bob's tests approach.
Thank goodness for specialists. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Well, now we can stop worrying about Sophie, and turn all our thoughts to Bob. Good to know that all went well yesterday, and the dreaded collar will soon be a thing of the past.
Fingers crossed that all will be well and the news will be good after Bob's tests tomorrow. Big hugs all round.
Very worrying. Hoping for a good outcome for Bob. x
Praying to St. Therese of Lisieux for Bob's good health and the dr's. ability to help him get better.
Echoing everyones comments thus far this morning; immensely relieved for Sophie and hoping for a simple fix for lovely Bob.

Sophie is such a strong brave dog, bless her. Bob might be catching up on his sleep now that the Metacam allows him to rest more comfortably. Continues prayers prayers and love.
You are very much in our hearts and prayers. May Bob's trouble be identified and resolved quickly.
The stylized Christmas tree does not appeal to me. I wouldn't blame the town dogs for wanting to get at it.
The not knowing is the killer. May you find peace in your household soon.
You've got it in one. Roll on tomorrow afternoon !
Happy about Sophie, but worried for Mr. Bob.
Everyone at the ROF has been through far too much these past months. I pray all goes well at the Specalist, and the answers come soon and are positive ones. Fingers and toes are crossed. Please give Bob a hug for us.
Have been praying for all of you for a long time and will keep on.
Let's hope they get to the bottom of Bob's problem and can offer a treatment asap.
Bon courage.
Very puzzling but checking daily for results and thinking of you all. Hope Xmas holds good news and full recoveries...
We're worried about Bob and sending special hugs.

We are thinking of you all and hope Bob's tests go well, the specialists find the reason for his symptoms and can help him get well soon.
May all of God's veterinary angels hasten to the aid of Bob, Sophie and their Rickety Old Farmhouse owners:)
