Knackered!

This Puppy lark is starting to wear us both out, for some reason Nala started pooing on the floor in the Dining area every night, at first we thought it was because I had upped the quantity of her food, but reversing that, made no difference, then I realised that, Nala had been trying toContinue reading “Knackered!”

Patience is a Virtue!

Pepe now has a leg support that works, although it takes two of us to fit it, which isn’t ideal. However when walked with the support, he doesn’t seem to suffer afterwards, without it, he is off his feet for the day. We made the decision not to continue with Pepe’s chemotherapy treatment, despite theContinue reading “Patience is a Virtue!”

Back to Normal

Now Christmas and the New Year have been and gone, I guess we can look at getting back to normal, whatever that might be. On January 2nd, all our decorations came down, and were put into storage for another year, and no that wasn’t my decision! Marcela might be keen to put them all upContinue reading “Back to Normal”

A Very Happy 2023 to You All!

There really isn’t much to report, we have spent all our time keeping our Visitors happy, or at least trying to, and acting as Referee between Tito and Nala! The weather has been a bit turbulent, considering we were promised that we are now in the dry season, we have had some sun, but lateContinue reading “A Very Happy 2023 to You All!”

Now to get ready for another year!

I hope that you all had a great time with family and friends, we probably ate too much, and some drank too much, but on the whole a good time had by all, and now wait for New Year! Lala has settled in to family life We just have to remember and accept that sheContinue reading “Now to get ready for another year!”

An Addition to the Family

Again it’s been a busy week, on Tuesday I had a Specialist appointment in Medellin to see if I was suitable for a partial replacement knee, I had been referred by my Hip Specialist, as she believed it would be a beneficial move. It was Pico y Placa, which means that vehicles, depending on theirContinue reading “An Addition to the Family”

I am allowed to smile again!

Pepe has had a reasonable week, he has not suffered from his chemotherapy, on Monday he has another ultrasound and blood tests, and the results of those will determine if he continues with the treatmnet, or whether he just has pallative care, so we are keeping our fingers crossed. We have been informed that theContinue reading “I am allowed to smile again!”

Disjointed!

It has been a wasted week in many ways, I have been waiting for a parcel from Amazon, containing tool accessories I couldn’t find here, I needed them to complete my Router wing on my Workshop Tablesaw, they arrived in Colombia back on November 28th, and due to the Carrier using a third Party forContinue reading “Disjointed!”

Pepé

I seem to have lost track on what has been happening this last week! Pepe has been an absolute Star, Tuesday he had to go for an ultrasound to see the current state of his liver, and for blood tests, prior to starting the Chemotherapy. As usual, he didn’t like being put on his back,Continue reading “Pepé”

Another busy few days

The weather constantly changing, has left me with a cold, but I won’t complain, I’ve heard all the jokes! Most days it is a lot warmer, but we are still getting a fair amount of rain, apparently the ‘Experts’ are predicting that we will have 25% more than usual December and January, and 60% moreContinue reading “Another busy few days”
