Chester...

Sadly, we lost Chester at the end of October.


Over a weekend he seemed to have a tummy ache and was doing alot of stretching. He went off his food so we took him to the vets, initially they couldn't see a problem as his temp and heart rate were ok. So they gave him some antibiotics and sent us home saying if there is no improvement come back the next day. As he seemed to be worse we took him back, they gave him a barium meal, an x-ray located a bowel blockage, when they did an exploratory op they found that his pancreas was 7-8 time bigger than it should be, and was one big tumor, so unfortunately he was put to sleep. He was cremated and we scattered his ashes down at the river where he had soooo much fun!!

It's hard to put into words how it affected us all!! It's amazing the affect of losing a little black furry chap has on a family!! and of course his brother Barney!

So a few pictures,

And his favorite thing to do was 'a pre wash on the stuff in the dishwasher'!!

Garden Make over...

We've been busy in the garden, removing raised flower beds and all the plants around the pool to prevent leaves blocking the pool filter.

Raised flower bed gone...

Veggie Garden - Update...

Veggie Garden planted....


There are strawberries under the wire, and in the main bed, there are some lettuces, gherkins, capsicums (peppers!), cucumber, chillies, red onions, tomatoes and garlic.

Getting the pool ready for the warmer weather, we found this chap. He lives in the gaps between the paving and the pool..
