Vet – Again!

Sorry, not a lot to report today. We had planned a day out in Casares and then to the coast but we had to take Dan to the Vet again. We spotted his abscess had come back which the Vet had suspected might be the case. We’ve made an appointment for this evening.

With Spain winning the football last night we had expected a very noisy night but it wasn’t bad at all. There were a few fireworks then a few car horns but it all went quite early. As a result we slept quite well, the heat was the only thing that kept us awake.

We slept late (again) then we drove to Gaucin to the laundry to get the rugs cleaned ready for us to leave, it takes over a week to do so we thought we best take them today. On the way back we were stuck behind the cork lorries dropping cork over the road so we decided to stop at Bar Parra for a drink so that the lorry could get ahead.

We had lunch when we came back then we sorted out some clothes and things so that we are a little closer to being ready to leave in 2 weeks time. It is like when we left Blairgowrie, there is loads to get organised, especially as we have people renting the house just after we go.

We set off for Ronda at 5 and parked near the Peligono, we walked to the bank to take out our weekly allowance then up to the vet. As usual they were running late and we had to wait. It is so relaxed there I wonder how they ever make any money. It was the same Vet that Susan fancies so she was happy, he had a bit of time sitting with Dan chatting to him on the floor – it is really nice that he does that. Anyway, he said that it is best to leave the abscess as it is, it really needs surgery to cure it properly but he cant do it as he is on holiday next week then we leave right away. We’ll get it dealt with when we return, he says it is ok to leave it until we get back. He didn’t even charge us!

We stopped at Mercadona for a few things then drove home for dinner. We’ve got caught up In Wimbledon, well Susan has! More tiding up later on.

Hope you are able to get to Casares when the dog is better.

Look forward to you photos when you get here.

Hope Dan did not receive a course of antibiotics again. The side effects in the confines of a 4x4 may prove fatal to driver and passenger.
Your front suspension link is in. I use the singular because the second one has been ordered twice and has been lost in Barnetts totally ineffective parts department. Readers of this blog note never use www.barnettsmotorgroup.co.uk unless you have two weeks to spend visiting their parts department on the remote chance the part can be found.
