Phew!

It's back to just the two of us now. Rashes are pretty much gone, so a successful bath time and tablets are doing the trick!



I probably shouldn't say this, but Arnie and I are definitely getting closer (as you can see from the picture...) Arnie has taken to "looking out for me." He says this is because I'm his "little" sister. It's very cute ;-)

Hop! Hop! Hooray!

Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy 1st Birthday dear Arnie!
Happy Birthday to you

This week marks a new beginning for Troon (and us too.) It's been a brilliant few days in some respects, and terribly sad (for us) in others. But the important thing is, it's been a brilliant week for Troon :)

For personal (family) reasons, Troon has gone to stay with her half-brother, Arnie, and his parents Sarah & Matt. Sarah is particularly well-equipped to look after Troon as she has a PhD in animal behavior (at least that's my very un-technical interpretation of her degree), not to mention a lot of love for vizslas :) Arnie is nearly 1 year old, and the resemblence between him & Troon is quite remarkable - bar the fact that he is one BIG vizsla! They all love the outdoors and spend lots of time on the beach, mountains, woodlands, and on parents farm. Three days in, Arnie and Troon are inseparable, not to mention exhausted.

I keep telling myself not to be sad, and I must say the same to Troon's readers; Troon is in excellent hands and she is very, very happy, as you will see. Sarah has kindly agreed to keep us up to date with lots of photos and videos. So All Things Troon will not end here, it's just a new chapter, one we will call Arnie & Troon (like Benny & Joon ;)







Huge thanks to Sarah, Matt, and Arnie for making this transition better than any of us could have imagined!

I love weekends - lazing in the garden on a Sunday afternoon :)

(he, he... yes Rocket (see comments), but a bit longer than 10k. It was a full lap 'round Richmond Park - perhaps 10 miles? Not sure, maybe not quite but it sure was tiring ;)

Some old photos, for posterity's sake...
