Well, friends, Dad did not think he would have time to post again
before the trip to hospital tomorrow, but there's time for a quick update.
Dad says THANK YOU very much to everyone who has left comments and messages
with good wishes, they're very much appreciated and he will reply as soon as
he can!

I know something's afoot and I don't like upheaval. I've been like Dad's shadow
- when I haven't been at the v*t's that is. Had to go in on Wednesday. It was not
very nice. Mum cried when she and Dad picked me up afterwards.
The v*t gave me thirty-five injections (the first one made me very
sleepy) and shaved all the fur off one of my flanks. You can't see it in this
photo but it looks most undignified. The purpose of it all was to find out what
I'm allergic to... and it wasn't good news. I have eighteen separate allergies,
including a severe allergy to several different types of insect bites. I'm allergic
to dandelions, daisies, several different trees and grasses. Now I'm on special
baths every three days (grrr), anti-histamines in my food and nasty wet ear drops
in my ears (double grrrrr).
The good news is I'm getting there and feel a lot better than I did last week.
