Winter is passing us by

And Bessie is transforming. This isnt a miracle, of course. But it is lovely to see her happier and more comfortable. We have gone to extra effort and helped her aches and pains with an electric blanket and I think the weather being albeit colder, is at least a bit dyer and that may have helped too. Anyway, she is eating like a horse and has a heap more energy. Her coat is wonderfully soft, however, there are signs of irritation again, so we have bathed and brushed her and hope that any leftover parasites will have done a runner for the neighbours pug.
The change in her enthusiasm for food has in fact meant she has put on a couple of pounds in weight. The extra weight probably isnt helping any joint issues she may have but in reality her happiness is probably more important to her and us over her mobility given her age.
I saw Helen last week and told her the great news. She did explain too, that they are about to launch Essential Ingredients - a supplement which gets sprinkled across any dog food and which again adds further goodness and healthiness to your dog's diet. Magic.
