Pedigree Joint Care + Tess Reporting- week One

My package has arrived

My job for the next 6 Weeks is to Trial Pedigree Joint Care +

 "Look at this George its got my name on the bag, Wow"

"Hang on George get your nose out, I'm the one doing the trial"

Right, first up let me tell you what I've got

Six weeks worth of Joint Care+ 

Some balls and a wanger

Back pack with my name on

Plus a video camera, this has to be returned at the end of the six weeks 

Plus a letter, wait a minute while I check the small print!!

Yes its all OK I can do it  

Now you might be thinking why does a pup of 14 months need joint care supplements.

It all started second week into my first season, I found my back legs were getting stiff after a had been sleeping. A got a check up with the vets and had to have an X-Ray he say’s I have Hip dysplasia in my left hip! 

Me and Mom talked about it lots, I’m still growing, it could be other things that have contributed to my condition.

Like

 Playing to rough with George.

Or the time I swallowed Dads anti inflammatory tablets and me and George had to spend the night at the vets, it was me that had taken them as I had to go back in the next night! 

The time my left foot got caught in the seat belt clip. (Mom thinks that’s where my problems started, even though it was months before, and I didn’t show any signs of being hurt)

Who knows but I have it and life goes on and I am going to live it to the full. Mom is careful I don’t over do things and get too tired.

Which brings me to the trial, after I had been signed off by the vet he said that swimming and taking Joint supplements could help, I had nothing to lose so I got booked into swimming lessons and  Mom got me some “yumove” joint support tablets, which I have been taking until pedigree got in touch to tell us about Joint Care+

Mom had to check that is was OK for me to have these treat sticks as they are for older dogs

Hannah from Pedigree replied

"Joint Care+ may well be a more convenient way for her to get her supplement each day in order to look after her joints. Dogs over the age of 6 will be most suitable for the Joint Care+, but this is simply because they are getting older, slowing down, and their joints need extra care and attention. As Tess' joints already need this care and attention, there will be no problem with Tess taking part in the trial.

The sticks are also low calories and low fat - and we have created sticks which suit each dogs' size - rather than a 'one stick suits all'!"

Thanks Hannah

 Great, I get to have a treat stick instead of a tablet.

Mom has done a video of me and George on one of our morning walks, she may be OK at taking photos but has a lot to learn when it coming to video’s!!

When you upload to YouTube it says this video is shaky do you want to put it right, so she pressed the button to do this and it came out a bit funny!! I’ve told her not to go pressing that button again.

"Come on George fancy a game of ball"

"Got to get it off me first"

Next Week I'll be telling you what's in them that's so good for your joints

"If I don't get a treat there's no way I'm posing, you on the other paw are always to busy sniffing to even look most of the time!"

"Ok point taken, Come on then, lets get some sleep before the Olympics starts"  

Whitby, Sandsend, Staithes and Grosmont

Poor Tess had to wait all week before getting a taste of the sea, no I didn’t put her head in the water, as the e-card looks like I’m doing!

********

 We started the walk at Whitby Beach Huts only to find a sign, No dogs on the beach!

We carried on walking all the way to Sandsends dog friendly beach, where Dad did a Neil Kinnock, somehow he didn’t get wet!!! Mom got a photo “Well done Mom”

After our dip it the sea we hot footed to Staithes. It’s very much like Robin Hoods Bay as you have to park at the top and walk down to the sea front. 

Watch out for seagull plop, check out the car!!

After that, a stop off at Grosmont to see the steam trains. Dad took a video. We were very pleased that at this point me and Tess were back in the car. If you look at the far left you will see a rare bit of footage of mom taking photos and putting her hands to her ears. The noise level didn’t pick up on the video but it was ear piercings. We don’t like things like that.

On to the last set of photos from our Holiday

We're going to take a break from the laptop for a couple of days, but will be back with a Blogville Olympic Special before the games start.
