Another night spent
listening out for sounds from the dog. I heard him chewing his
cannula at 5am and I stopped that for him. I took him outside, and he
tiddled; which was a good thing. I then laid him on the sofa, and he
watched me watching Blake's Seven. Today's episode was an improvement
on what has gone before. There is still no sign of Blake, and his
five would seem to have blown up his space ship. We both had brekkie.
I always scoff mine. I was so pleased to see Fudge scoff his up right
away.
9am soon came; and we
were on the vet's doorstep. We went straight in, and the vet was
pleased with his overnight progress. Whatever was bothering his belly
hopefully seems to be in abeyance. The pup was still shivering, but
that was probably related to his medications. They took the cannula
out of his paw, and gave him some more distalgesic which probably
accounted for his being spaced out for much of the day. But not too
spaced out to look hopefully in the direction of other people's
toast.
The plan for the day had
been a serious walk around the Sussex countryside, but the vet had
advised against anything too strenuous. we will definatelly do that
wallk another time. Instead we sat at home for a bit.
After an hour or so Fudge
became very fractious; and was whimpering. I was all set to take him
back to the vet, but er indoors TM"
suggested that he was on the mend and was going stir-crazy. So we
rallied some troopps and went geocaching on the Romney Marsh. We did
half a dozen caches; mostly as drive-bys. None really needed much
walking to be done, but getting out and about was enough for the
little dog. As we drove about and walked about he visibly perked up.
From a cachers point of
view, if ever you are on the Romney Marsh look out for any cache
annywhere near a footbridge. They are usually something special.
er indoors TM"
spent a little time looking at renewing car insurance. She's good at
that. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing she saved nearly three
hundred quid on the insurance on my car. I was quite pleased about
that. It's effectively found half of the money I've spent on vets
bills over the last two days.
I could have gone with er
indoors TM" to the Saturday film show
tonight. It would have been good to have seen a Star Trek double
bill. But there was no way I would leave my poorly dog thiis
evening. So I sat with him and watched some of the stuff I'd recorded
onto the SkyPlus box. Some of what I'd recorded was quite good. And I
watched the film "Alien Nation" for the first time.
I say "watched" - I turned it off half way through.
It was dreadful...
