The Excitement is Building

[macrefield mom]

Well my handsome boy is doing well I am pleased to report!  He has been to the vet and we have asked her to test him for everything she can, through his blood, so he sat very still and held up his big paws as she shaved them and then drew off two phials of blood.  Poor lad never flickered, just looked at her with his big brown eyes and waited for his biscuit.

So now we wait for the results to see if he has a food allergy, a liver infection or any toxic allergies, if they are negative then we will have to have an MRI scan to check his brain patterns.  But he certainly has perked up so we are delighted.

The upside of all this is that we have had lovely weather here this week and have had lunch in the garden, drinks out last evening and I have a bit of a tan!  Meanwhile it looks like the weather in Kalkan hasn't been so good, more cloud than sun all of this week, so at least when we return in June we should get some decent weather.

That's great news macrefield mom. Fingers crossed all is well with your boy and what a brave and well behaved boy he is. I wish I could say that about our Charlie! The minute his vaccination notes are produced from the cupboard and he hears the jangle of car keys - he becomes the hound from hell!!! We even give him doggy calm pills starting the night before and he's had lots of social visits to the vets in order to make him less frightened but all to no avail. He's just a neurotic pooch I'm afraid 
Not long until June now and I'm so glad you've made the most of your weeks holiday.

So glad to hear your "handsome boy" is doing well.....the things we do for our pooches?

This week hasn't gone as smoothly as I'd hoped, on Tuesday Janet woke up with the sniffles & by Wednesday it was full blown runny nose time, needless to say I kept well away to the point of sleeping in the spare bedroom. No joy on Thursday I was sniffing and Friday (travel day) she was alright & I was like death warmed up & dosing myself with a 3am Lemsip then Sudafed at Gatwick. Not the best fight due to my state but have to say the seats in the plane were better & my knees weren't under my chin & table stuck in my ample belly.
The new E Visa is great, no double queuing to buy it & then go through control. The man from Brave Tours was there waiting for us then the paperwork was done at their new office just outside the airport as opposed to doing it over the bonnet. The drive was straight forward and passed 3 traffic controls but they didn't seem to be stooping anyone. There is a long stretch Kalkan side of Fethiye where it is down to 1 carriageway sharing a lane each while the resurface the west bound side.
The proper blog will start tomorrow if I can get wifi connected.
