The past 10 days has been a very distressing time for us. Bryn went down with a lung infection and was struggling for breath, coughing and with a slight temperature. He was so very poorly I went to pieces worrying that he was going to die.

Our vet has been very good, everyone there knows Bryn and he always gets a fuss and nothing is ever too much trouble. bryn has had 10 days of increased antibiotics and appears to be over the infection although he is still a bit out of puff and pretty grumpy at times with the other dogs. I think it's mainly due to tiredness that he just can't be bothered with any fuss, although he did have a little run around with a dog toy this afternoon inviting the others to play chase. His colouring is so very pale and he can't run around as he should do, he seems to have adapted to his limits and just gets on with things as best as he can.

Tonight he is rolled up in his bed snoozing away, the other dogs have not climbed in the bed with him tonight, i think one by one they have been 'told off' today so have decided to give him a wide berth!
