To the vets again.

Am a bit worried because I have to take my little dog to the vets today, he has some really bad teeth but he also has congenital heart failure which means he cannot have any anasthetic. Some of his teeth are loose so they are going to have a look to see what they can do. He can't have pain medication either. He is 13 and only has 6 teeth anyway poor thing.

His name is Tosh, they have decided his heart is strong enough for sedation but they are going to do some bloods first incase of any underlying problems. So I have come home and left him with a line of nurses waiting to give him a cuddle, that made me feel a bit better.

I have to wait now for a call later today. Thanks for all your good wishes.

Going to do my ironing to try and take my mind off him.

Yes Val, without it they could not have done any work on them, just hope his little heart holds out.
