When I first decided to attempt my own blog, I never thought that I would finally be motivated by a combination of weather and my favourite border collie. After living in Scotland for twenty years, I have to say that this is the worst snow I have ever seen - at least on my own doorstep. In my youthful and more adventurous days, I can well remember leaping into the car, at the first mention of dire weather conditions in the north to, 'go and look at the snow' while friends and neighbours muttered darkly about the 'looney doings' of their mad English friends. Now I huddle behind the front room window in my thermal underwear and dread the prospect of having to venture outside.Unfortunately, I nolonger have the luxury of being able to stay inside as just over a week ago, Jig decided to develop a complaint that has everybody at our local vets totally perplexed and which finally, yesterday morning, on the worst day of the current snowfall so far, led to me making a two hour journey to the other side of Glasgow, to plumb the fount of knowledge at the University of Glasgow veterinary school.
What is wrong with Jig? Will the vet school come up with a diagnosis? More importantly will I be able to dig the car out to go and fetch him?....and will we make it home. Check us out again tomorrow.
hope jigs ok
