skinny boi is off to kennels for a week over half term and I can't work out if his vaccinations are up to date...
They want: DHP, L4/L2 and kennel cough.
He's up to date for L4 and KC.
Does L4 cover DHP or is DHP a different vax?
Thanks

They're different things. L4 vaccinates against four strains of leptospirosis and DHP is for distemper, hepatitis and parvovirus.

Morning walk. A month ago she was becoming disobedient on walks not coming back. High value treats are working at the moment and she was good today
Just a note re vaccinations, mungo went for his jabs today and the vet is now offering L4, (until now he’s been having L2) but will need a booster in 4 weeks so that he has full immunity. I know Sweet FA you’ve said Blue is up to date with L4, but this would have caught me out if I needed him fully vaccinated for kennels in the next couple of weeks.
Also they advise me having blood test for him for something I now can’t remember the name of, as he’s from mainland Europe. Apparently its a relatively new concern re dogs from other countries, and they now wouldn’t perform surgery on him without an all-clear. Another £60

Edit to add, I’ve looked it up, its Brucella, and very unlikely to apply to Mungo but can understand why vets would prefer to know that the dog doesn’t have it

He's covered. I misplaced his vax record and the DHP was on there...vet emailed vax record over and all good.

Mrs Loom’s sister asked us to look after her dog this weekend. I don’t know what it is that she has brought round - it might be an exotic rodent, it could be the business end of an innovative mop, as marketed exclusively through the Home Shopping Channel - but it is certainly not a dog.
That said, it does have some major advantages over dogs. It has no interest in stealing food. Even if it did, it would be completely unable to reach tables and work surfaces unaided. It tolerates novel lifeforms - even posties - without barking.
If we do replace Maximilien de Robespierre with a new dog, and it’s been two years now, reducing the risk of constant comparison against the best dog that has ever been, it will not be with a creature like this. But some of those traits might be worth considering when we decide upon our preferred breed.

That takes the meaning of a proper handful to a whole new level !

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
For some reason BB2 has started to hang out in Pepper’s anxiety bed, which leaves Pepper anxious with nowhere to go (except the sofa, the five beds in the house, her other bed etc.)
So tonight Pepper’s made her bed on her toy rabbit…

was being carried in the sort of small wooden box that you’d have fruit or veg in, which was attached to the handlebars and was very happy indeed!

We were in the other room. We came into this room and this is what we found
They’re very very comfortable with each other, Mabel and Ted. They don’t love each other yet, not like Ted and Boo did. But there’s no animosity, so that’s a good start. Happy to both sleep on our bed or on the same bench at the same time. But if we pet Mabel too much, Ted tries to get on our lap to remind us who the special baby is

Had an entertaining few drinks at The Wrestlers in Highgate, a very dog-friendly pub where we watched a sausage dog attempt (and fail) to exude a threatening aura toward all the other dogs 
My brother (who live opposite) popped by with my aged spaniel-nephew who apparently gets quite proprietorial about 'his' spot as well.

had to pull a dog calming playlist off youtube on Tuesday night for the young one, he is currently still too scared to go out from dusk till about 11pm which is a bit awkward for walkies.

I put classicFM on [or their "calm" playlist] but, very luckily, we are too far out from town to hear much racket ...
Also most of our cats & dogs don't seem too bothered.
Once one of the previous dogs saw the displays he stopped mithering about it, although he wasn't too happy with massive bangs he didn't have a meltdown or a panic attack.

Not sure which I love more, Ted, Mable or that chair that the clearly sophisticated Mable has made her own. Such a feast of a pic!

Nearly as bad as Badgers
Poor thing, it's horrible seeing them so scared.
I played white noise out the telly all evening, which downed out all but the closest ones and kept Cara pretty calm. Still jumps out her skin but we all got some sleep for once!
