Lily update!

It's been a week now since we first took Lily to the vets for her stomach infection and she's pretty much all better :)

We had a rough time with her, she had a fever for 3 days and in the end didn't eat for 5 days :( She lost about 1/4 of a pound, which doesn't sound a lot but she only weighs 3 pounds anyway!

Looking back at the picture of her in our last post, she looks so sick and small, my poor girl. I couldn't be happier to say she's back to her old self and is eating well, so should put the weight back on easily.

 

My dad and step mum fussing the girls, Lily getting extra tlc on my dads knee.

In other news I'm hoping to do another KC related post in the next day or 2 and we'll have some exciting news to share soon as well!

However it's ciao for now from us,

Love & licks as ever,

Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

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.

And finally

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.

National Micro Chipping Month.

It's been a little while since our last post and things have been pretty quiet, everyone is well and we'll do a picture/update post soon :)

In the meantime, we wanted to share the fact that June is 'national micro chipping month!'. 

So if your furbaby isn't chipped, now is a great time to visit your local vet and get them done. Most places have an offer on chipping this month, half off etc so there's really no reason not to! :)

It's also a great time to make sure the details on your pets chip are correct and up to date. You can find loads of info about micro chipping on the Avid/PETtrac site, including how to update your pets chip details.

We're guilty ourselves of being lax with chipping Monroe and Lily, which is pretty bad of us, so we've booked ourselves in for this Wednesday, so then all 4 Hilton chi's will be chipped and up to date :)
We'll fill in any details in our next update :)

So until Wednesday, ta ra!
Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe & Lily.

What's it all about, Alfieee? (And Monroe) (Oh, and Lily...)

Good Morning Blogger!

It's a tad late, but as promised we have a few pictures of Alfie :)  
(Stolen from Adam, via Facebook)
So feast your eyes...

How different does he look!?

Ahh it feels like only a week ago... *wipes a tear* ahem!

In other news, it's bedlam in the Hilton household right now, Monroe's leg is still sore and now Lily's joined the club and has pulled a muscle, along her ribs no less!
Whatever will we do with them!?

No more arrivals in the way of pressies, so no update there, in fact we have yet to order Monroe's, the colour we want it in isn't in stock! :(
Fingers crossed it's in again in time for Christmas!!!

So until we have some news, we shall love you and leave you...

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

Just a quick BB blog post to say...

That we're all doing well :)

Lily and Alfie had their 3 week 'birthday' on Sunday, they've started on 'proper' food of mushed up rusks :)
So far they're doing well, getting stuck in, literally! Messy tykes ^^

They (along with mummy Rafferty) went to see the vet Monday and all got a clean bill of health :)
The vet actually commented on how well the puppies were doing, so proud grins all round xD

We've also cracked open the Sherleys worming syrup for the puppies and have given the big girls their dose of Panacur, so we're sorted on the worming front for 2 weeks now at any rate :)

That's all our news for now really, we've been taking tons of pictures, which we'll post on the 1st, as soon as the internet is running again!

So until then,

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Alfie.

♪ ♫ 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!
