It's nice to see family now and again
All the time would be a pain
No peace to read or have a snooze
The worst is having to hide the booze 
Then wave them off on the train.


May  had invited the Vicar for tea
But she couldn't let him in for she'd lost her key

Aaw,  that's wonderful,  Granny.  

Congratulations to you both.       

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 06:27:26 PMOne of my grand-dogs was diagnosed with heart disease this week, she's 9 years old.  It was found by a young locum vet, when he examined her for something else. My first thought was why wasn't it picked up by her regular vet ?  They had to take her to a specialist clinic in Northwich, but first - get this - a phone consultation with an animal cardiologist that lasted 7 minutes - £294    I couldn't believe it, the whole thing was itemised but cost in total £1,500     What a rip off !

That seems horrendous, Alex.

People will just end up distrusting the Vets altogether.    Either that, or some will try to treat their animals themselves,  which could be very dangerous.

Same here,  but tomorrow apparently.
I don't think it will be anything much though,  only some drizzle,  but we'll see.

Congratulations.

It was an odd sort of word again.

And in the end the animals will suffer as people can't afford the appropriate treatment .
