It was the best of times it was the worst of times

Poor little Hal is not having the best time at the moment. His graze on his elbow from Saturday came up like a balloon last night and by this morning the swelling had spread down his leg.

After his trip to vets he settled himself down propped up in his favourite doorway, this didn't look very comfy, but we're not him. This was ok until the doorbell rang and he was trampled by a Bernese...then a Goldie X.....then a GSP and finally another Bernese who didn't quite make it over the top of him and kind of got tangled up with him.

I rescued him and for his own good was locked in the dog room propped up in a feather duvet. He is finally starting to give in to the sleep he so much needs.

Hopefully the antibiotic and the painkillers will start to take effect soon and he'll feel a bit better.

Chin up little man.
