It'¨s cleared up enough for me to watch the sun through the familiar haze of dirty windows.But that's ok. My friend , the one who was going  to clean my windows while I made tea, called to say she'd spent a couple of hours at the vet's and after a battery  of tests ,Tessie was spared doggie heaven and is on antibiotics instead. Relief. 

 This is a picture taken of Tessie this summer after she'd been given a bath as she'd decided to hae a roll in some stinky poo. Why dogs do that ?
