Spring is well and truly here. Wild bluebells are shooting up everywhere. The golf course covered in them.
A particularly large gull sitting on the roof of a car gets the full on glare treatment from Sophie. The gull is not concerned. It receives the first 'shriek' of the day.
The growths ( not one but three - one on the muzzle, one behind an ear and one on her back ) aren't malignant. The vet says that removing them will need a general anesthetic. Sophie doesn't seem bothered by them. We'll keep an eye on things but don't really want her to face surgery unless she has to. She's already had quite enough for one lifetime.
Yesterdays Netflix filming was in front of the house where Prince William used to live. A grand 7 bedroom affair in a Georgian terrace, Today filming will be in front of the Wee House in town. The Texan tenants will find that the pavement outside the front door will be 'busy'.

Great news from the vet. Some dogs seem particularly prone to these harmless bumps.
I think the lovely blue flowers on the golf course are spring squill not wild bluebells. (I did not realise until watching David Attenborough on Sunday night that our glorious bluebell woods are a particularly British spring phenomenon.)
Agreeing with above that the flowers are spring squill. Last year was a glorious year for bluebells in Scotland (May). Wonder what this year will bring.
Good news for Sophie.
Good weather for Scotland and accommodating for the filming.
Glad to hear the news from the vet. More running on the beach and mooching jaffa cakes for the sweet little girl.
What a relief to know that the bumps are harmless. Two of my Labradors had benign bumps which were just fatty tissue. One Lab looked as though he'd swallowed his favourite tennis ball, so that lump had to be removed!
One hopes that your Texan tenants will be impressed by all the activity outside the wee house. Next year you'll be able to advertise it "as seen on The Crown" on the rental details.
The spring squill are a glorious color matching glimpses of your blue sky among the clouds. So glad to hear that Sophie's growths are not of a serious nature.
Thank doG the growths are benign. I agree about avoiding anesthesia whenever possible. And I do hope the tenants in your wee house appreciate their lifetime opportunity to regale folks with their "close proximity" to the Crown.
That is good news about Sophie. I’ve been staff to three standard poodles. All of them got sebaceous cysts as they aged. Very few were removed, most just observed. Surgery for “mature” pups always worries me.
Nice shot of the gull!
Glad to hear that all is well with Sophie.
Spring is nowhere to be found here in TO, although we switched to daylight saving time this past WE.(major yawn!) It's snow on the ground and below-zero temperatures still.
