    May I ask for positive thoughts for Rocky?

    He's not doing well, my mother and Reinhold are really concerned. He seemed to be lethargic today and didn't want to eat, and seemed to be too exhausted to walk. Maybe it's only because he played with a ball yesterday, and that he's just too old for these kind of games. But he also threw up his food this morning. Now they fear that whatever has enlarged his spleen gland (most likely a tumor) has returned.

    When I saw him later today, he was already doing better. But it could be that this is the beginning of the "ups and downs" the vet has foreseen (as only a couple of days ago, he wasn't doing too well either), half a year ago. In fact, he wouldn't have thought that Rocky would still be around this summer. He surprised us all by recovering so well, and we're just not ready...

    Rocky this afternoon:






    And here's little Emma. Even though she has grown a lot already (just look at her long legs! ), she's still a baby, and needs him around. She adores him, and copies everything he does. He just cannot leave her alone!






    Please keep this big boy in your thoughts!

    Poor Rocky. Make sure to spend lots of time on him. No time like the present to get as much spoiling in as you can. I'll keep you in my thoughts. Emma is adorable and very leggy.

    Thank you very much, it's very appreciated!

    Yes, it was hot today, but not hotter than the last 5 weeks, even less humid than usual, which made the heat more bearable.

    Regarding Emma: I'm sure these long legs will grow out sooner or later. She's looking really funny atm. LOL

    Emma isn't docked is she? Is Rocky? I'm sure he was born before all the docking controversy. I'd love to see a good picture of Emma with her beautiful tail.

    No, Emma isn't docked, but Rocky is. He was born before docking became illegal here.

    Here's a picture of Emma with her tail:
