Fed Up - Raining Again !!

It has been raining heavily all morning and I have been unable to walk Shula, she is fed up, as am I. So far this year, according to our local amateur weather station it has rained 51 days and we have had far more than our average years rainfall already. I think everyone would be quite happy if it stopped raining and didn't rain again for another year.

Last week we took Shula to the vet for her blood test for her passport, which will enable her to travel to the UK if the need arises. The passport is a very official looking document and is called a Pasaporte Para Animales De Compañia, which actually just means pet passport. The Spanish language really is twice as long as English. Anyway once we get the results of the test and the necessary time has lapsed she can travel whenever we want, as long as we keep her rabies vaccination up todate, which we will. The blood test and passport cost far more than a human passport so you would not want to do that too often.

She was really good for the vet, he gave her a check over and weighed her, she was 15.7 kilos which he said was fine but she mustn't put on any more weight. We are now including her in our weekly weigh in, she was 15.5 this week. Ken is keeping a strict eye on her meals and I am limiting her treats. We are both making sure she doesn't eat any of the cats food, which she would given half a chance as her favourite thing in life is eating.
