The current lockdown here in Cyprus means we can’t go outside our premises just for the hell of it, except to walk our dog. For any other purpose we need to send a text message to a special number giving a reason why we want to go out, our...
The summer was full of tears, pain and sorrow. But as we were coming to terms with the loss, our other Springer, Holly, suddenly collapsed in the same way as Harvey.
It’s been nearly four months since we lost Harvey to cancer. And now we have another problem with cancer, this time in Holly. We recently had a lump removed from her right rear leg which the vet didn’t think was cancerous. But after...
Day 33 and I’ve only got three weeks left of writing to complete my 1st draft of The Brittle Sea. But, as we all know, life tends to throw you a curved ball every now and then. We received a phone call Sunday night from our vet. Holly had a...
In October 2018, one of our two English Springers, Harvey, suddenly started to stagger as he was walking out into the late October sunshine. We took him directly to the vets to eventually discover he had Ataxia. One of the vertebrae in his spinal...

Our dog Harvey passed away on Tuesday 18th June 2019 after several illnesses. He soldiered through all that was put in his way and was of good humour right to the very end. Here’s the beginning of a series of stories I’ve written over...
Today I lost a great pal. Harvey’s nasal cancer got the better of him and at the vet’s this morning it was apparent the cancer from his nose was spreading to his eyes and brain.
Harvey was getting worse and a visit to the vet was now urgent. Fearing the worse is always a bad scene and the appointment wasn’t until 6pm.
It’s a calm period since Harvey was first diagnosed with nasal cancer. The turbulence has toned down somewhat, though he did have an episode of a nose bleed a fortnight ago. That was stabilised by our magnificent vet’s, 3Vets, in...
Every day is different, if it wasn’t we would all be bored to death. But when you have a sickly dog, you sometimes wish every day could be the same. Harvey’s cancer has been pretty stable over the last few weeks. It was never going to...
