road trip

I have been looking after a friend's dogs while she is home in France for the Christmas season (she is married to one of the relatives as I am sure you suspected).  She had the dogs fixed in early November and they have had many related medical issues since.  How do you get a dog to the vet?

First, you talk the boy who works for the family hotel to help you.



Then you find a Tuk-tuk driver who is willing to stop (when I only had one dog to take a Tuk-tuk was enough).  This part is a little difficult.

 It is not so difficult getting the dog to settle in for the ride.  She even fell asleep on the way home.

My next vet trip (with my neighbour this time) was with two dogs and required a larger vehicle.  It is quite an impressive little thing and made almost as much of a splash at the vet as we did.  The women with the truck full of chickens in cages and the man with the goat thought the fact that we were bringing two dogs on leashes to an animal doctor was HILARIOUS!
Luckily there were no animals using the horse and cow stalls, so we were allowed to tie them up right away and the crowd lost interest.  Apparently dogs tied to posts are not so fascinating.
