Thanks to everyone who’s shown their concern. Our Jennie is much better now.
The vets never did find out why she was having trouble with her back end. It just cleared up all by itself. They discovered an eye problem and she’s being treated for that - with steroids!
She won’t be able to swim in the Olympics now. Just as well she wasn’t planning on it.
One of the side effects is that she’s eating like a litte pig. And she keeps jumping up on mum’s desk and standing in front of the computer screen demanding food all the time. She’s put on a bit of weight, but she was a bit scrawny anyways.

I know it’s April Fools Day and this sounds very silly, but maybe it is serious.
Dutch dogs get designer dunny
Dutch dog owners can soon throw away their pooper-scoopers and plastic bags and instead walk their companions to their very own toilet.
The developer of a new “doggy toilet”, a small fenced-in patch of artificial grass, hopes the self-cleaning device will help rid towns of the mess left behind by man’s best friend.
The first toilet is being tested in Zaltbommel, a small town in central Netherlands, but the developer has already been approached by government officials from as far away as London.
“This is only a pilot program, but we hope to roll out 200 to 300 of these toilets in one year,” Hans van de Pos said, who has patented the device.
