Well, Gizmo was allowed home yesterday, for the weekend. She's to go back to the vets on Tuesday for a dental (clean her teeth up and sort them out). But at least they let her home. I had two calls from the vets yesterday - one in the morning to let me know that Gizmo was doing fine and they were going to run some more tests later in the day, and then a call in the afternoon to arrange when I could pick her up. They said that although the tests they'd done showed that the levels weren't as bad, it showed that it is her kidneys which aren't working properly now, sadly. And this means a change of diet for her to make sure her kidneys don't work too hard now, which will hopefully give us a lot longer with her. Although at 17 1/2 it might be that her age catches up with her before her kidneys give up.
I'd met up with my 'Ladies that Lunch' yesterday when I got the call from the vets, so I had to fill them in with what's been happening - and all this after having numerous trips to the vets with Aveline, Molly and Gadget! Lunch with my friends was lovely. It's so nice to have a chat up and a bit of moan about stuff every few weeks. Next time we meet up we'll also have our friend who moved to Bali with us as she's coming back to England for a few weeks.
Then today was spent helping my friend on her nursery again, with me ending up paddling through puddles in one of her greenhouses as it was so wet! And then a bit of crafting at night as I'm trying out a few ideas……..so watch this space!
Oh….. and the clocks go forward by an hour tonight, so we lose an hour :(
But it means it will be lighter for longer at night and it means we're heading towards summer :)
