By the time we got him back from the vet it was late afternoon and so wasn't worth doing a 4 and a half hour drive to get there, especially as Sparky is on short rations, as far as walks are concerned. Try telling that to a Collie - especially as he isn't bothered in the least by his leg! He also has to take medication for the next 10 days to try and settle things, as the vet doesn't know the cause of the problem. It happened after he had been on a 4 hour walk in the woods, so hopefully it's down to injury or an infection in the joint, though the vet said there is a slim possibility it could be some kind of tumour, although this is the least likely cause.
So, no long walks this weekend which was a shame as there were blue skies amongst the clouds.
Instead it was a catching up kind of weekend. Making bread, doing washing, (getting the benefit of those blue skies!) and getting nice mail. Some fat quarters arrived which I've been waiting for from Etsy and also some skincare from Korres. The smell of their stuff is gorgeous and also good for your skin as they use a lot of organic and natural ingredients. I try mostly to buy skincare that is natural and I also needed a new cleanser so thought I would try a brand called 'Yes To Carrots' which has organic carrot juice and pumpkin, sweet potato and Dead Sea Minerals in it. M was rather confused as he thought it was a brand especially for redheads and that's why I had bought it!
I hope you've all had a lovely weekend whatever you've been up to...

oh I hope Sparky will be alright. Making bread sounds lovely and good mail days are always exciting, that Yes to Carrots sounds great I haven't heard of that before.
Too bad about your trip! And your poor puppy. Hopefully he's on the mend soon.
Oh No! I hope Sparky is ok! Sorry you didn't get to go away. Those are some lovely treats that came to your door though, glad there was something to make you smile!
