Diary Of Bobby & Scamp

Gosh don't they grow up fast, the other day they were so small I could hold Bobby or Scamp in one hand, Now it takes my breath away trying to lift Bobby up and Scamp is not far behind

See how the pup's have progressed and any little problems on the way. Please seek advice on the amount of Worming tablets to be given and how often they should be given.

Its been a long year but we got through it. The pup's are now over a year old and this diary is discontinued. I hope that it has been of some use to you when wondering if your pup is the correct weight or if he is eating the correct amount. Bobby and Scamp have a biscuit tin that is always full and where they can help themselves, this does not effect their main meal.

They do not eat any tin animal foods, or anything containing "animal derivatives", since finding out what goes into these products. They now eat good quality "Human" food and roast chicken is their favourite.

Well Bobby and Scamp are now 4 years old !, At this very moment they have gone shopping with mum :). They love a trip to the local supermarket in the car. They are both very healthy and happy chappies....

Update 05/08/2003
Weather hot in the UK, but huh they love the air conditioning unit, garden has been redesigned at an adventure playground for them... They love it

Update 30/06/2005
Hi, not been back to this page in a while :)- takes me weeks to get though them all, However Bobby eat a huge plate of beef, carrots, green beans and sprouts today (Scamp managed 3/4) that I thought I would give an update today. They are 7 years old now, time is flying by, and let me tell you this, they are just like they were at 1 year old, full of bounce, always playing, running jumping, and play fighting. They have worn me out :)-. Lots of thunder and lightening here in the UK for the last week, but still hot. They are very healthy, Just took that photo, Bobby at top wants to know what I'm doing, while Scamp says "on no, yet another picture" :)

Update 07/06/2007
Has it been that long since made any comment here :)- Bobby and Scamp are now 9 years young !. The time has gone very quick, only seams like the other day we brought too little pups home. They are both very happy chappies, and still bounce about the place. We now have a grandson living with us, in fact he will be 2 next month, and Bobby and Scamp love him, someone new to play with (Gives me a rest) If I don't come back here for a while, I'm dead :)- (Kidding) have a good Christmas 2007

Scamp, April 2009, Looking and Feeling well

Update 10th April 2009, 11 years ago I started this diary, it saddens me to have to tell you that Scamp is dying of cancer. While today he is very healthy, full of life, still chasing Bobby everywhere, he has Lymphoma. There is no cure for cancer, and chemotherapy isn't going to cure him, and would make him ill. More here

I have to make it clear, that today almost Easter 2009, Scamp is very well, he does not have any pain, and you would think its a normal day. Sadly the truth is, he may only have 8 months to live. He is given prednisolone (steroids) and is eating his normal food, but Ive also got him some Hills Prescription diet n/d which Im told is going to help him.

I don't know when/if I will ever get over this, and I don't know if this diary will be updated again. His brother Bobby is just fine, they are both 11 years old on 30th march 2009

Scamp, Bobby and us, are all going to the seaside and the fairground this weekend.

Update 10th May 2009
Scamp is having chemotherapy, the treatment is going well, so far there hasn't been any side effects, and we hope and pray the cancer will go into remission, and give him many years to come. More here
We are fighting it every which way we can..
