Betty's healthy diet, covid jabs and a gardening week (hopefully)

 Betty still seems fine, I'm being extremely careful in what I give her to eat.  I've also changed her from 1 large meal (in the evenings) and some treats twice a day, to 2 small meals (morning and evening) and a bit of banana or pear for a treat midday.  She has a choice of (well, I say choice, I don't actually ask her what she wants! 😂) scrambled egg, microwaved white fish, a little canned tuna in oil, or freshly cooked minced chicken, with some cooked sweet potato and rice and a splash of salmon oil mixed in with the proteins.  Husband says she eats better than he does! (he eats equally as well, I might add).  I've been to the pet shop this morning to buy some frozen high quality food which is just meat or fish with added vegetables and some vitamins & minerals, and nothing else in it, just to make sure she has all the nutrients she needs, she'll have that once or twice a week.  She's had this frozen food before and likes it, in fact she licks the plate clean.  It's a bit on the costly side, but since I'm not buying lots of dog treats now, it evens the cost out.  A couple of times a week I'll give her a top quality dental chew or antler, for a bit of crunch and to help her teeth/gums.

We've had our covid jabs this morning, I'm hoping we'll have little or no reaction to them.....we haven't had any particular reaction before, as far as I remember.  We're having an easy meal tonight, just in case I feel a bit under the weather later - homemade potato dauphinoise, already made and out of the freezer, with salmon steaks that I'll foil cook in the oven, and peas.  Husband has requested a lamb leg steak out of the freezer, with mash, veg and onion gravy for tomorrow (I said he eats as well as the dog!).  I'll have cheesy mash with homemade ratatouille, I think.

I had to get up in the night for a wee and to take some paracetamol for a headache, it struck me just how many lights are on in the house at night.  Not ceiling lights or lamps - the little green, red or blue lights on appliances or techy stuff, sockets and smoke alarms, little glowing lights everywhere.  No need to put any lamps on!

Betty is currently throwing her bed around having a mad 5 minutes, so she's clearly feeling happy!

Little monkey.  I like to see her enjoying herself and letting off a bit of steam.

Very mixed weather forecast this week, it'll be a case of picking and choosing when to do washing and having to keep an eye on it outside.  Bit chilly today but supposed to be warmer (and wetter) later in the week.  Tomorrow looks a good day for washing on the line.

Nothing on the calendar for the rest of the week....no medical appointments for either of us, for a change.  I've bought some more Spring bulbs (naughty!) so have those to plant out.  In between showers (I'm a fair weather gardener) I'll cut back the roses a bit and pull up the dead and dying annuals.
