Water Boy

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

It's been an eventful couple of days!  Yesterday was worming day and I mis-read the dosage as it was different on the outside of the box to the inside and to cut a long story short I over dosed Riley by 3ml...  It wouldn't have been too bad except my partner decided that it was the day to go to buy a new lawnmower.  Not thinking, I put Riley in the back of the car where he settled quite happily... He is usually a great traveler, fast forward to half an hour later and he threw up all over the back seat.  Unprepared as we were,  my partner used old golf towels and did a half clean up job and Riley moved onto my knee where twenty minutes later he threw up all over me.  As I sat there dripping vomit which was by now transporting itself up my left sleeve and was seeping through my trousers I couldn't help thinking how much we love this little guy.  There was no sense that this was too much to handle just that we had to get Riley home as fast as possible!

This morning as I headed to the shower I decided that Riley could come into the bathroom with me instead of into his crate as usual.  Not content to stay outside the shower he arrived in beside me! On the basis that this was an opportunity not to be passed up I decided to give him a good wash.  I'm sorry I don't have pictures of either of these events but neither would be suitable for Dk (nor I think desirable!)

It is amazing how it doesn't even phase us to clean after our guys when they're sick.  I think it's so cute that he's following you into the shower.  That should make it really easy for you to give him a quick bath.
