    What made you smile today?

    The Señor got his labs back today and his kidney function looks great as does his thyroid. The vet forgot to do his leishmaniasis test, so they’ll add that in too with results at the end of the week. He was negative last time so I don’t anticipate any issue, just me being a bit obsessed with...

    What made you smile today?

    Oooh, I remember him then - Carbón and I met him the day after he came home, I think? I was expecting this tiny puppy but Reuben was already huge! 😂 And of course Carbón was sheer embarrassment hating Reuben on sight and trying to eat him. Then Nelly telling him off. :facepalm: Still...

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

    Hola amigos! Just a short leeeetle greeting from your Señor. I am very happy right now as we are visiting my Regensburg people and today I got to hoover up the bratwurst from the ground at the Christmas market. It is truly a magical time of the year! ML and I also really like our casita (little...

    That’s really good news, Kate. Does Sue think this may be her last op, or will she need more as the wounds continue to heal?

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

    Good question and one I get a lot! I’ve been on this current ‘trip’ for 14 years. That’s a long time, even for someone who loves to travel. In fact since 2005, I’ve only lived in my house in California for four years. However after so long, I do feel now that I stay on the travel hamster wheel...

    He was mainly worried about his bear head filled with treats that I’d set by the camera. I could have forgotten it and then his life would have been OVER! Heh, heh. 😉 He had SUCH a good time. It was kind of a free for all - you could donate anything you wanted for the items you wanted (it was...

    When your ML takes you to a muy divertido super fun Christmas market for your vet’s rescue charity and buys you this happy bear head filled with homemade dog cookies! Pues, buuuuut…then she makes you pose in the back of a VW camper van with reindeer antlers. This is no bueno amigos. Sometimes...

    Yes, Portugal started as my backup plan for German immigration and I’ve been wanting to go check it out. Also been studying Portuguese for nearly two years so it’s time to actually try it on the locals. Which I believe will be a bit of a catastrophe, but at least entertaining. 😉

    The worst travel experiences absolutely make the best travel stories. 😂 I feel like I left Cornwall about six YEARS ago. 🥴😵‍💫😉 But definitely not long now until I’m back. 🥳 Aaaaaand…that’s part of the problem. I know darn well that I could roll into the UK anytime after the 6th of January...

    That’s really kind, Kate. ❤ But unfortunately I can’t enter the UK for Christmas anyway because of my maximum stay allowance - got to respect the Home Office. I’ll be somewhere in Portugal for Christmas. Probably in a not very nice Airbnb because who waits to the last second to book Christmas...

    The Señor enjoying the comfy sofa (with our own super duper cover of course). The little apartment also has a largish bedroom, separate kitchen/dining area, and big bathroom. I feel so adult. 😁

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

    Well, ‘home’ is a relatively arbitrary term for Carbón and me! 😂 But yes, we are in a little Airbnb in the countryside about a half hour drive from Regensburg. It’s an apartment inside a larger single-family (‘detached’ in UK lingo) house. The owners are on holiday until Wednesday, so it’s very...

    Absolutely claim the full amount from these sad excuses from humans. As @SwampDonkey says, the donated funds can be used for ongoing vet expenses or donations you choose. I don’t know what is allowed in small claims, but perhaps you can even add more for future vet costs to be incurred due to...

    We are in the train from the airport to Regensburg. Poor Carbón is a pooped pup. It was sad to say goodbye to ‘Cookie Man’ but a relief to be back on ‘my’ side of the Pond. But yeah, I think Carbón’s opinion will be “Pfft!” about leaving Cookie Man. He looks a bit sad in our goodbye photo. 🥺

    Oh amigos, she is doing it again - packing! That only means that I was right - my Spanish gentleman instincts are muy bueno - and we are off this morning on a big viaje back to Bavaria. Pfft! I do not want to leave! Cookie Man is my soul mate in understanding that I need at least three...

    We had our last visit with Cookie Man’s best amigo, who now lives in a nice apartment community for older people who need some extra help. ML has known him since she was five years old and he is one of her favorite people. I was muy bueno and calmly used Cookie Man’s foot as a pillow as I am...

    Wow, that was a bit of a roller coaster catching up with Coco’s tummy woes! I’m glad today’s update was back on top form. Go Coco! 🥰
