    Just a little worried

    I don’t know about in the UK or specifically in Cornwall, but in California there are ‘senior pets for senior people’ programs run both by private rescues and shelters. You essentially are fostering for life: the dog stays with you but medical costs (and sometimes even food) are covered by the...

    That’s what is important: he’s a happy boy at Gilitha again. The GA is really hard but worth it and he’s already back to himself. 🥰

    Just a little worried

    Yes, of course private medicine has to be paid for, but there is profiteering happening. My lovely neighbors in Cornwall, the husband is a builder. His main client the past year has been a gentleman who has made his money via pet prescription drugs. I don’t know how, and this isn’t a personal...

    This is in line with both Germany and Spain. I don’t know if costs are controlled by the government for veterinarians, but they are for humans, so it stands to reason that vet costs are also standardized to an extent. I agree with @Jacqui-S. Costs in the UK are also pushed up by the wide-spread...

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    Sí, sí: I AM a gentleman! I would not hurt a kitty and now I am less afraid of them so do not shout either. I am very proud of me! However, I am also glad to not have the hourly kitty invasion. Even a Spanish Gentleman can get stressed, sabes? And sí, my tail is a natural wonder. ML says it...

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    Oh, Amiga Cath, I love the leeeeetle blue TARDIS car in your message! Qué cariño! On Sunday we arrived in Umbria, on Lake Trasamiento. Or something like that. Spelling is hard for a dog. Our apartment has stairs and no garden for me, so I have to adjust my leeeetle bladder, but otherwise all is...

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    Hola Amiga Sonia! Sí, sí, it is very clean! But this is a very small hill town in an area of Tuscany with low population. People live there, claro qué sí, but most live in the newer part of town right outside the old town gates. The old town is very difficult for most to live in: narrow winding...

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    We are leaving Kingdom of Cats this morning. Que lastima, what a pity. Vale, it is no pity at all. ML has not been a fan of Lazio, and I have not been a fan of the cats, so we are both feliz to get on the road. However I must say the bonita owner with many cuddles and chuches (treats) for me...

    The weather looks horrible - staying comfy inside sounds like the best plan!

    Uh oh is right! Que mal! This is not in my contract. I am going on strike!

    I hope it’s a much better night for both of you! I never knew dogs did this after anaesthesia until poor Reuben. 😟
