They are both still sticking 2 paws up at the rainbow bridge and doing their best!
Jezzy says, palliative? Is that a new vegetable? If it isnt then I am not interested!2021-09-21 18.26.16.webp

Clover says, if you want me to take anything from a syringe, first you must catch me. If you can't catch me, my legs are fine today thanks, try again tomorrow! Unless there are apples on offer...?

Thank you, Clover is less ill than Jezzy but has more ups and downs with pain, but this past week she's doing very well :)
Jezzy doesnt seem ill at all except you can see she has jaundice now- yellow poops, yellowish skin on her tummy and feet- but she hasnt really noticed that herself, she's in fine floofy fettle :)
On good days I could see this pair of oldies lasting another 6 months or even longer, plenty of happy todays still even if Clover has a few bad days with arthritis pain, but so far that can be fixed with some buprenorphine and loxicom and serving breakfast in bed if she cant quite get her legs going!

Such wonderful older ladies you have there.
It is lovely to hear they are both carrying on at their own pace and still enjoying life :love:

They are both quite determined to keep up with the 3 year old herd members, I think if they were just an old pair alone they might have got a bit demoralised by now, but there is always the morning lettuce leaf rugby scrum and the after dinner hay munching party to take part in, plus the nose-to-bum piggy zoom train that has everypig dashing up and down in a line formation as soon as they see a meal might arrive!
