Theia's pink ballet shoes.....

What a day.... Our princess Theia, has had to spend it at the vets, and I think it's fair to say ,she is not impressed!!!!! Where Theia came from, far far up north, in the county of Roses , sheep and Scarfell Pike,  the vets deem the removal of rear dew claws as COSMETIC SURGERY, and as such didn't remove them as requested on either her or her three brothers. Now unfortunately our athletic and bouncy lady Berner actually had  Double dew Claws on both her back legs and the week before last, while practicing her Yoga, she managed to catch one very firmly in the metal loop on her collar which defied the extreme efforts of two people to free her. Needless to say when she had her freedom returned, the claw was pulled that much she refused to let anybody look except her indoors and ME. (only because I was looking over mums shoulder, being nosey and wondering why all the fuss! ) by now these troublesome articles are curling around nicely on themselves and starting to run into the second claw. Now her indoors was not happy about this but was prepared to wait and see if this was a one off occaision or if it was likely to happen again. Yes you got it, last week while practising  her Cuddle me routine for the benefit of one of her who must be obeyed friends, it happened again. So poor old Tizzy was booked in for today,  for their removal and also a little bit of  personal photography. Anyway we duly had a phone call about two this afternoon saying that she was up and about and wanted to come home. Can you imagine the trolls face, when out trots his lovely princess, decked out in PINK bandages and carrying a pair of PINK  Ballet slippers to be used as required and especially if it's wet  to keep her clean and dry. Now the thought of him battling with those fastenings is positively hilarious. I doubt he will even be able to put one of her delicate little paws in there before she has done her special Berner pirouette and whisked off to the other side of the room  laughing her paws off. That, the fact that Trolls are not known for their patience and the £400 bill will make for quite an entertaining few days, because as you know Trolls can be DIFFICULT at the best of times, and his cousins in Wales have probably already heard him 'going off on one". That and the fact that our Aunty Sarah has bought both Theia and Freya a pink spotted bandana to complete her outfit, to be worn when the Troll takes her out in public should just about finish him off.  Life can be such fun..... And it's amazing how differently two people can look at something and see a totally different picture.  One vets opinion is COSMETIC and our vets is COMMON SENSE... The Trolls is embarrassment while Theias is LOOK AT ME! GORGEOUS IN PINK. Cool runnings Gryff
