    Phoned the vet but it was just an out of hours person who didnt know, said she could get the duty vet to call me, but i said i'd call them tomorrow instead :o

    Ds finally woke up at 9.20 and seems in a happy enough mood so far :D Luckily we have nothing planned for today so I think it will be quite a chilled out kinda day.

    We found a dog that had been hit once and I think the vets thought we'd done it too! They were very very off with us. We couldn't keep the dog either because we already had 2 of our own and one didn't like male dogs and this one was!

    We also found cages and cages of rats that had been abandoned once - they were having babies and eating babies etc. The RSPCA were just soooo rude to us when we called them. My dad couldn't leave them because seagulls were stealing them and dive bombing the cages!!

    How's your dad this morning? It is horrible when you have situations like this. FIL suffered from halucinations when he was first taken ill last November.
    Sending you big hugs

    Mum and dad popped in for coffee this morning, he said they had to come round because the army had turned up and were cutting back their hedge so he wanted to go out before they tried to recruit him :eek: :o:o

    I hope the dear lives, it's awful when you are trying to be a good citizen and people think the worst. Also sorry to hear about your dad not being so good, must be hard to see him like that when you are so close. Have a good day and keep your chin up, not long until the summer hols now.
