My little girl is having an operation on Monday. It’s just to remove a little growth, but I can’t help but get worried when I think of saying goodbye to her at the vets. So this weekend, I’m keeping it short but sweet.

This weekend is going to be a weekend for Soda. No email, no posting, no tweeting, commenting or facebooking. Just walks in the sun, lots of Kong throwing, pats and treats galore. To be honest, it sounds like perfection.

So this Sunday, I encourage you to take a break, give your dog a hug and enjoy the time you have with them. xo

Sounds like a great weekend 🙂 As Noogie gets older I worry more and more about something happening to him. He is healthy and happy but just getting old. Hope you had a wonderful weekend with your girl. x

  It was a lovely weekend! I reminds you of what’s important.
  I’m EXACTLY the same with the age thing. This was just a little procedure, but there of course were tears this morning because as they get older you tend to worry more. Soda however of course still thinks she’s a puppy! 🙂
