Isle of Dogs (I do love dogs)

You can hear Nesmith flush the urinal just before an alternate take on the "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd." box set.

The liner notes also mention that this photo was the only Monkees era picture that Nesmith displayed in his home.

Rogue list Remy this year and Gus lost his budgie friend, so his owner and I got him neutered so he could live with Rogue.

Pootle’s first Christmas photoshoot.

Topanga turned 2 last week and was ‘thrilled’ to wear her birthday hat.

Topanga has been lonely since Kochanski died. I tried introducing her to Remy and Rogue, but Rogue wouldn’t accept her.

I found a guinea pig rescue in south west London and arranged to take her there to have an introduction and bonding session with one of their neutered boars.

They had 4 lined up to meet her but she fell for boar number 1.

Kochanski died this morning.

I couldn’t even tell until I picked her up to give her the painkiller.

She was laying comfortably and still looked like she was just watching me spot cleaning the cage, which is what I started to do after saying hello and seeing she was still alive when I woke up.

While she was dying she still moved around a lot, going from one favourite spot to another, Topanga took such good care of her. She kept nuzzling her face and licking her eyes.

Kochanski raised Topanga from a baby and I’m sure it gave her at least another year of life. She loved being an auntie.

Topanga has lived with her for nearly a year and a half and I’m going to try to bond her with Remy and Rogue. Rogue can be difficult though so it might not work.

The photos are from Monday, the one of Topanga taking care of her is the last photo of Kochanski.

Remy LeBoar and Kochanski had some milestones recently.

Remy LeBoar wants everyone to know he is not dead. He is sad that his namesake is gone but assures everyone you can’t keep a good Remy down.

For example, our Mr Remy went suddenly and completely blind a month ago. His health is otherwise all good and this is a lesson to bad breeders to stop doing what they’re doing. His genetics turned his dark pink Gambit eyes white, but otherwise he’s still his happy, chilled out self and he adapted so quickly that I’m very proud of him. Rogue is also helping him be his usual happy self.

Every time I see Kochanski doing anything I’m all “Kochanski! Hey sweetie! How you doing? You’re eating hay? That so awesome!” Like I’m just so chuffed she’s still alive.
