Vets today

Well we came away with more antibiotics, the vet thinks Casey has improved and he needs to go back with another urine test next saturday to see if he needs anymore tablets or if the infection is cleared. There was this tiny dog in the vets that Casey being Casey started making his stupid noises at because he wanted to go over too it, so i took him outside. On the way outside the little dog was letting out growls that a rottweiler would of been proud of. Casey certainly changed his mind about wanting to go near it lol. Then on the bus some strange man started talking to him in a high pitched voice...Casey was confused as we were. I shall be glad when he doesnt need to go anymore as he complains on the bus and at the vets, makes almost as much noise as the bird!

Had Lola out for a cuddle last night, i think she is feeling a little sad, the hugs helped a bit as she bruxed a lot. I thought it would be nice to video it on my phone but as soon as my phone came out she hid her face and refused to play ball. Sigh. Once i put the camera away she went back to bruxing. Typical.
She also went and hid in Atari's den (behind the sofa cushions) He wasn't impressed today when he went in there and found a girl had taken residence i think he would of told her off had she still been there lol

Did more clicker training with him today..I think he is getting it but its hard to tell with Atari, specially as something spooked him and he decided not to come out for the den for a while. I shall be keeping it up so will be able to see if its working with a bit of repaptition i think...i hope lol

Shopping tomorrow , which means i need to check on what cereals i need for my mix, i make my own rat food mix based on the shunamite diet. It contains rabbit food (alpha herbal deluxe you cant just use any rabbit food due to the pellets as these are wasted) dog kibble (scoop of my dogs dried food) cereals (cornflakes, branflakes,rice puffs,mini wheats and shreddie type cereal , although sometimes i have run out of one of these and it therefore isn't used in that batch. They also get something else rarely like porridge oats or very rarely cheerios as they are very sugary) There is also penne pasta in there which i have upped at the moment to a whole bag as it lets them store a little more energy for keeping warm in the winter.

As well as dry mix they also get carrots (left whole so they can have a good gnaw) curly kale (big bag separated between the three groups with a bit for the lizard) cous cous (they love this, Atari is obsessed with it, while he was poorly he pushed homemade chicken stew out of the way for plain cous cous!) They get something special everything couple of days in general, kale is generally reserved for the day before clean out day lol. They do get other things just less often, on cold nights as a change from cous cous i will make them porridge, when we have had a chicken they will get some chicken and the bones which they love to gnaw, i rarely find any left! At christmas they got boxes with dog treats, sprouts and mixed nuts, they were also given the bones from the turkey crown. I think the most luxurious treat they have ever had is nearly two packs of king prawns they were given when we found out we didnt like them (king prawns are weird, little soft prawns are the best)
