DAY 5 COUNTDOWN TO THE GREAT ESCAPE AND DOGFLASH.

Sunday 28th March 2010 Palm Sunday.

Well we have just had a “Helluva ” day down here in sunny Tarifa, last evening Boo was a little off colour and not his usual self; he came in from the garden in the evening looking very down and self conscious; it turned out that he tried to go to the toilet and got himself in a right mess ! He would not let us help him and was obviously in pain but would not let us near him. During the night he did not sleep and Brenda, who was very worried spent most of the night trying to comfort him; this morning things took a turn for the worse when he tried to go to the toilet again and was in great pain. So I called the local vet on the 24hr. emergency number and it turned out that he was in his office down in Tarifa and he suggested that it would be better if we took him down; we all jumped in the Smart car, which Boo happen to like, and rushed the patient, wrapped in a blanket down to see the vet ! The vet soon sorted him out and he did not need to have an anesthetic as we helped to hold him down on the table; he gave him an injection after sorting out the business end of the problem and gave us a large tablet to give him as well as some special intestine food for the next couple of days along with plenty of water. He is now fast asleep and taking things easy for the rest of the day !

We have just spoken to Chris over in London as I had sent him a text message to tell him about Boo, he confirmed that he will be home on Thursday so it looks like the Great Escape is on !!

PS; On the final day of the World Track Cycling Championships in Copenhagen Ed Clancy of GB. won a gold in the " Omnium " which takes place over five disciplines on the same day making the Great Britain team second in the medal table behind Australia .

PPS; Button has just won a very exciting Grand Prix in Melbourne and Liverpool beat Sunderland with Torres scoring a wonder goal !

Thought for the Day;

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.
