Reprieved

Was up early to take Pepe to the Vets this morning and it had been snowing in the night so we set off early to get to the Vets for 9-00am 

Snowed up

The main roads had been gritted so it was al-right once we got out of the side roads and got there miles too early and had to wait for the vets to open !.

After sitting there a while the nurse came out and told me the surgeon had phoned and  couldn't make it as his wife had been taken ill this morning, my wife says I'm too cynical but as the vet lives on the Wirral I wouldn't have blamed him if it was the weather that had kept him at home !

He is going to phone with other dates we can manage later on.

Pepe has a problem with his offside rear knee so has to have it done, though he isn't in any pain at the moment so another date for the op will be al-right and will not spoil his Christmas festivities
