Won’t know unless we see her again. I’ll certainly give an update if I do.
Same thing happened to a friend of ours years ago - it split the dogs tongue. All covered under insurance and it healed pretty quickly.
What have you been doing today?

Went in t'bathroom this morning, as you do, and found one of three flies that've been bugging the sanity out of me this past few weeks. Only one of us walked out. He's learning to swim in the drain after getting a sudden inexplicable downpour.
Found his friend in the f. room, enjoying the view out the window and a swift swipe with a towel smeared him across the glass...another job to do, but worth the extra.
Bonus kill came in t'kitchen where the surviving pest was buzzing back n' forth and, after a brief flurry of intense dog-fight, he too ended up on the window sill, belly-up.
A hat-trick!
My work here is done.

I got lucky. It's cooler this morning so they're weren't up to speed yet.
Hadn't a hope during the heatwave when they wouldn't sit still for a moment, so it's strangely satisfying to be fly free today....just wish i could reach those pesky jackdaws who persist in a-peckin' at my apples in t'old tree. 5p.m, regular as clockwork they do. They're not even ready yet, so i hope the fruit gives 'em the squirts.
Pure evil!

Odds will be round there to a spot of gardening for you,
Does she do a lot of weaving?
What she has there is hemp.
Sold our A3 today. A bit too quick for my liking - we're not taking delivery of our new car until Sept 1st. I thought it might take a week or two at least - the dealer we're buying the Tucson from only wanted to give "between £7-8k" and that was before they made the sale - probably wouldn’t be interested now I’ve committed to a cash sale. WBAC and Motorway offered slightly more than their highest price but I ended up getting over a grand more than the best WBAC/Motorway quotes from an independent dealer that saw my ad in Autotrader. In all, it’s only cost us around £3.5k in depreciation in 4 and a half years - the least I’ve ever lost on a car! Looks like the stinky Golf is going to be our main mode of transport until September though. I could have held on a bit nearer to the collection of the new car but I’m thinking that by then, the market would be flooded with secondhand cars coming up to the new registration release and prices would drop. We're more than happy enough with the sale anyway.

We went to Guisborough this morning, market day taking up, as expected, many of the parking spaces. Spotted one on my right, signalled, then an oncoming driver, dived in. Drove a bit further down the road, and found another vacant spot, again on my right, and so drove in perhaps too eagerly. The road slopped down to a shallow gutter, then the parking place back up, like a shallow V. Tow bracket dragged along the road, whilst getting in - it's a long car. Locked and left it there.
The idea, was too then to jump on a bus, to Whitby for the day. The bus, with the limited safe places to overtake, and rare bus-stops, was almost as quick as me driving there. Spent the day in Whitby, then back to try to extricate the car. Av remember there was a skip, not far away, and likely some timber in it, we could drop in the gutter to help us over the gap. Otherwise, the tow-bar would have been digging itself into the tarmac, worked a treat, and luckily no damage.

Blimey, they didn’t hang about. A quick clean up and it’s up for sale already.

Not been a good day for me so far. Woken up at 4.00 by a drunk bloke walking down our street having a row on his phone with his girlfriend. Apparently he'd spent £100 on a present for her and she still has someone’s number in her phone under a different name. Then, just £25 on my PB's with a maximum holding but to top it off, I opened up a vacuum pack of smoked haddock from the fridge that I bought on Thursday with a use by date of Aug 6th and it stunk the f'cking house out. Had to double wrap it and chuck it in the outside bin and then open the front and back doors as well as the windows to let some fresh air to blow through the house to get the stench out. I often suffer with a bit of borborygmi* after breakfast and it would have been ten times worse this morning had I took a chance with that fish!

Finished clearing a nest of wild strawberry and tall grass around an acer in t'garden, rearranged a log pile and put a new stone path up to the shed while the sun shines...all change tomorrow when i expect to see the squirrel enjoying his new playground i made for him. Got my fingers crossed he doesn't find the buried acorns just yet and maybe, just maybe, leaves one to grow on. I live in hope.

Oh...
sorry about that
Had the 30 cup warning from the Sage this morning.
Rather than wait until it shut down and refused to play anymore, I carried out the descale programme immediately but to get the most out of the descaling solution, after I had done the coffee machine, I tipped the solution into the kettle. After the kettle, I tipped it into the downstairs loo basin to descale the chrome plug and surround. After that, I pulled the fuse from the Saniflo and let it drain into there. After about half an hour, I refitted the fuse and flushed it through. I love getting my moneys worth.
This afternoon I went with my son and my grandson to see their local team, Chelmsford, play the Arsenal Academy side. The normal crowd is about 400. Today it was a sellout - 3,000. I was expecting Arsenal to trounce them but Chelmsford won 2-0. Arsenal were absolute shyte.
