Mister Morph went to the vets today to have his claw looked at and also have his booster. Our vets is currently having building work done so they are in temporary cabins at the moment and we also have a temporary vet and she is LOVELY! She has helped us work with Morph’s grumpiness/fear at the vets and he was a different dog today, so HOORAY for nice vets! The update on his claw was that it would be best to leave it and it will come off naturally – also she suggested that we get some Biotin as a supplement for his nails as this is the 2nd one in the past month or so to go like this. It was quite a relief as I was worried it may be something serious! He was a very good boy and only had to be muzzled 10 seconds while he had his jab as opposed to when he used to be muzzled the entire time we were in the room before. So HOORAY AGAIN for nice vets!
We also had a quick chat about fireworks and she gave us some suggestions about what we could do, so I will be working with him to try and make the firework noise a positive thing rather than something to hide away from. Will keep you updated on the progress.
Today was my first day back at work and was very, very busy! I met my Mum with Morph at the vets after work so after the vet I took Morph for a quick spin round the park ,with his lovely new bally on a rope I brought him today…and guess what? Yep it got stuck in a tree! I think I am destined to stick to tennis balls! Between Morph and I we must have lost about 20 bally on a ropes this year in trees or at the bottom of the river. D’oh!
Anyway, best be off as someone is sniffing around for their dinner!
Bye for now!

Glad his claw is easily managed and it is such a relief to get a vet that works with you and not try and get you in and out as soon as possible. I wish my two would take some interest in balls… but its not to be
