Lily at the vets.

So if you have me on Facebook or Twitter, you'll probably know Lily's been unwell past 2/3 days, so we went to the Vets today to get her checked out. Turns out she has a bad tummy bug. She had an antibiotic injection today and has to go back tomorrow and the day after for repeat shots, in the mean time she has some vitamin paste to have twice a day and some electrolyte replacement fluid to have every 30 minutes.

We'll update soon as she gets better, so until then,

Someone's got a chip on their shoulder...

In honour of 'National Micro Chipping Month' we got our butts in gear and got Lily and Monroe chipped finally yesterday. It timed pretty well with Buffy her booster jab.

They all did really well, with minimal fuss :)

Buffy usually has to be kept an eye on as she tends to have a mild reaction to her jabs, having flu like symptoms for a day or 2 after, sickness and some pretty bad swelling on the actual site of the injection, however this time she's bounced straight back from it and has no swelling! The vet used a different brand of vaccine this time, (we've had Duramune in the past, this time she got Nobivac) so we're thrilled at the difference!

In other news we bought the girls a toy a while back, (we've been trying to cut down seeing as our toy stock is approaching 50*), so we've uploaded a video of Lily showcasing her football talents, for everyone to see :)



It's a blueberry flavoured bouncy ball (that floats too) and it's really does smell yummy lol! Not sure any of the human Hiltons will be having a nibble on it though!

*We might do another toy inventory soon, seeing as we've acquired so much since our last one... click -here- to see the original toy inventory.

Until then,
Love & licks as ever,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

♪ ♫ Saturday, Sunday, happy days! ♪ ♫

This weekend has been very happy indeed so far!

Our good friends Emma and Chris came to visit Saturday, so we had plenty of fun with them :)

 Chris and Emma with God Child Monroe ;D

Then today, Granddad, Angie and Great Mamma all came over to see us ^^
It was lovely to see them all and they gave Daddy his birthday presents (early, cheeky cheeky) and we gave Granddad his Fathers Day present (ever earlier!), so it was smiles all round :)
Now Granddad has it, we can reveal what it was all along :)

The present!

It's a hand knitted "Aleksandr the meerkat" made by the lovely people behind the "Harry Hill knitted character"! :)

It went down very well, so a big pat on the back seems in order for Mummy ;D

Aside from all the fun, we thought we'd let you know that Monroe and Rafferty both made a very speedy recovery after their injections and that all is well with the Hiltons, big and little :)

That's all for now! More to come very soon :)

Love & licks, Rio, Buffy, Rafferty & Monroe.

Today is the day!

The day has come, dun dun duuun! 3pm today will we be at the vets!
Yes, it's the day of Monroe's first vaccination* :( (And Raffertys booster)
We'll post again after our appointment :)
Wish us luck!

On another note, the girls have a new toy... Drum roll please, introducing.... Mr Octopus! :D

He's 2 feet wide, (leg to leg), his head makes a duck quack noise when squeezed, his legs crackle and his feet squeak too!
Buffy and Monroe are in love with him, Rafferty is a little indifferent haha, toys are below her ;)

We'll post a new video or two of everyone with him and maybe some pics later :)

So that's all for now!
Love & licks, Rio, Buffy, Rafferty & Monroe.

*Bring on the walkies!
