Climping Cottage

Hunkered down in a cosy cottage in the strategic rural gap at Climping, W.Sussex with our hounds. Mostly playing on the beach, cooking & growing things.

I need to get out more. I’m actually excited about getting a new dustbin 🤣🤣🤣

Is the #sausagearmy still out there? Poor Lollipop fell ill suddenly today and it is acute Pancreatitis. She is in hospital on IVs. Does anyone have experience of this or any advice? 🙏🏻

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@merlinthelab Oh Kim I am so sorry. We lost Lola a couple of weeks ago too so I totally understand your pain. All we can do is make the best decisions for them and make sure they know they are loved 💔

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@GardensSeashore Thank you. It’s devastating 💔

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

My love and joy:

Lola

11th November 2014 - 5th January 2026

💔

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@TheSquirmyWorms Thank you. It’s a terrible shock and I miss her terribly. As you say, she was so very beautiful. I wish she could have had more lovely beach days, but she certainly did have plenty of different and interesting walks. Loved her so very much. x

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@TheSquirmyWorms Sadly we lost her on the 5th. Heartbroken x

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@TheSquirmyWorms It’s devastating. They have such big personalities. They leave a big hole in your life when they’re not around. 🙏🏻xx

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

Thank you for all of you good wishes. She’s being very well looked after by @arunvetgroup who have been very supportive to us all, but Lola is very poorly. We were able to see her today.They are currently trying a plasma transfusion. Let’s hope that helps to turn things around 🙏🏻

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

Unfortunately, Lola was taken poorly again yesterday and we had to take her to the hospital last night. She is in a critical condition. It came out of the blue again, but came back worse. We had a week of walks, smiles & cuddles. Love your dogs while you can. #sausagearmy #dogs

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@AtomicBiker Happy New Year to you too x

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

She’s much better. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on a drip but now back home. We’ve followed the fab advice you all gave and she’s much better. Lots of cuddles and a little, slow walk on the beach 🙏🤞😘 #sausagearmy #dachshund #dogs

@DollyPopsHere The small low fat meals have worked a treat. Thank you. Well let her build her strength and see what is best re the high mineral levels/ possible cancer. 🙏🤞x

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@jennyfuramy She’s home now and much better thank you xx

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@PaulaPitzij Much better thank you. There may be an underlying cancer. I will decide on next steps if her health stays stable.

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

As some of you know, the last couple of days have been tough. Weirdly though this kestrel seems to be my guardian angel. This was Christmas day and he flew right next to me again today in a completely different location. A windy day!

[Climping Cottage @ClimpingCottage]

@TheSquirmyWorms Thanks. It’s been horrid but she is back to her old self and the help and support on here has been amazing.
The concern now is that vet thinks it is a side effect from a tumour in the background. This was based on elevated calcium a phosphorus in her bloods.
🤞🙏x

@SCarolinaCiara Thank you so much. The tips are very handy and helped get her back to health.
