Fortnum’s been overdoing it and ended up back at the vets. Probably too much hooning around but he’s now confined to gentle play and lots of rest in his crate. We’re not sure whether it’s an injury or whether he’s got growing pains but nevertheless rest is the only way for him to get it better.

As you can imagine this has not gone down well. It’s confusing for him and for Mason who is almost as much affected since he’s lost his playmate and keeps getting told off for simply having a good time.

We were due to go to a basset walk today – the first we were to attend – but only managed the meet and greet before seeing a baggle of bassets head off down the path. Fortnum and Mason did enjoy seeing other dogs and were a bit disappointed to be left behind. Next time they’ll get their chance.

Here’s a couple of pictures of their latest antics.
