KIPPY DIDN'T MAKE IT

Another sad day.
Kip died last night a very horrible death.
No posts for a bit as we are inconsolable to lose a well trained friend who we loved dearly.
Thanks for your e-mails and phone calls.

KIP VERY ILL


Our friends dog Jack has been in the vets for a week with a virus. Of course our two play with Jack all the time and yesterday Kip was taken really ill at night.
He has been rushed to the vets first thing this morning and he has parvo virus.
Thanks to some tight git not getting their dog inocculated we are on a knife edge seeing if he survives.
Picture was taken this morning just as Kip was going to the vets. Bella is a bit lost right now, and we are hoping she hasn't contacted it either.



AL's BIRTHDAY


A quieter than normal birthday. Firstly I went to watch the village get thrashed 5-1 at home to local rivals Pluduno, then just to the village bar for a few beers.
The events in the above post explains why it was quiet.



VISITORS.



Mother and Bob came out and stayed in St Malo and we met up for a couple of lunches out in the village and Pludono.
Unfortunatly we forgot to take the camera.
So apologies all round.
In the meantime we will have some music and the test card until normal service is resumed.

I THINK WE ARE ACCEPTED HERE!

Even tho' the pub in the village is shut for the week, we were lucky enough to get an invitation for a meal on Sunday evening.
The table was set up in the bar and we had a great night with friends.
Bruno made a giant pot of couscous which was superb and we drank half the bar dry .
David and his girlfriend Marie-Helene are moving to Normandy next week which is sad for us but a great for them as David has got a new job with a plumbing company.
They will be back to visit often.
Bruno dishes up.


Entente Cordiale at it's best
A great night!





BIG DEFEAT



A big 4-0 defeat at Dinan-Lehon pushed the village side into the bottom half of the table. One bright spot was Jeremy our goalkeeper pulling off a fantastic penalty save.

A VERY LONG WALK


Friday we took a long walk out past the lake with the dogs. Natasha bought Jack along and as usual there was mayhem.
