And just because I've now worked out how to shrink photos, here's some more pics. Jake aged 12, and on their way home, Peril aged 2, Jake aged 12, and our beloved Spot aged 16, just days before we lost her. Happy until the end.
My old (long lost) Springer did this once. We transported him back from the slurry in a trailer, washed him numerous times plus a vinegar wash. I put him in my car 2 days later - and the car never recovered! I understand your pain xx
