Hi Guys
Struggled hard to find the right subject heading to bring you all in to read
Most of you will have forgotten that Daisy had an appointment today at the Royal Dick, some of you will not have forgotten...hey hooo...it has come and gone![[image]](http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-sad-smileys-435.gif)
not wanting to give you news too soon ....am dragging this on...so that you can share my experience today.......
11am arrival for an 11.15 appointment.
11.20 seen by 4th and final year student (general question time, and check up takes place, - however an emergency has come in, therefore Daisy is required back for ultra-scan at 4pm...(no point in heading home).
Giving choice to leave Daisy and collect at 5pm or return with Daisy at 3.30 pm.
I choose the 3.30 option.
How I managed to waste an entire early afternoon is beyond me! - but I did and I think I did rather well.
Daisy and I head off in the car to a petrol station which I have passed previously and knew off, the whole area is a unknown to me, so I went to where I know to find lunch - which consisted off a Bounty, egg sandwich, cola and a packet of crisps - and yes! - I ate them in that order
Later we meet up with Betty at 1pm who is a student vet, who bonded with Daisy on her early visits and biddy ins, and actually sat in her crate for an hour reading up on her study notes, rather than go the the library.
Betty and I go for a wander with Daisy in toe...and say bye bye 45mins later...
Daisy and I are back in the car again - so we head to Pets at Home (directions given by Betty) and Daisy gets new collar, and a new toy "Ducky".
We return to the vet school...with an hour still to go...so I take a wander and bump into a fella with two collies. I ask him if there is any good walkie area's as I have been in search of a park, or something similar. He kindly directed Daisy and I to a destination...fabulous...Daisy and I take a tour...
I am not proud of this - I held up the traffic on the way back....I think they thought I had an injured hound on me, not a dainty princess (which Daisy can be and plays it well)....there was snow on the footpath coming up to the road so I carried Daisy over it, otherwise Daisy would not move on.
As am reaching the pavement to cross the road, and put her down back on all fours, the traffic (on both sides) just stopped!!....OMG....I didn't dare put her down - until I had crossed the road and I was out of sight, I was so embarrassed ....they must have thought Daisy was injured in some way, and Daisy played the part well, with the look of forlorn...what a beamer.![[image]](http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-innocent-smileys-834.gif)
Now that I have made you read all this...you will want to know the outcome...
Well....
Vet is tremendously pleased with Daisy and Daisy doesn't have to go back ----![[image]](http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-happy-smileys-841.gif)
how brilliant is that?
The expression of happiness that the vet shared, at that point, in time, along with a bit of sadness, - that he won't see Daisy again will be with me forever.
Some pics from today
You can just about see her bare tum
- such a shame cos the hair was just starting to grow back and full thickness...the shaving was done for the ultrascan...on the tum...her neck also was shaved for blood test.![[image]](http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp293/Lassie_photo/Daisy/Daisy%20post%20final%20check%20up%20-%20yipeeee/img_2734.jpg?t=1267744032)
Not long home and I gave Daisy ducky - whom we bought together at pets at home today ![[image]](http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp293/Lassie_photo/Daisy/Daisy%20post%20final%20check%20up%20-%20yipeeee/img_2736.jpg?t=1267744115)
Daisy is looking tired in the picture - it was a long day and she hadn't had anything to eat since 8pm the night before, and with the car journey and the carry on thereafter - with the traffic on the way home at 5pm - was not much fun.
Glad to be home

Thank you all, again, so much, for helping Daisy.

PS - The Vet School Programme is not going to be shown until April 2010 - I was updated on this via the Royal Dick, it is unknown what the delay was/is but apparently they (STV) were in to show the clips to ensure that all was ok and authorised to show etc

Eliza, that's just the best news! Really really chuffed to hear this, been thinking of Daisy lately, and a few colleagues who donated to the cause have been asking for updates, so I'll be able to give them all the good news ![[image]](http://www.pic4ever.com/images/Banane21.gif)
And love your write up, made me laugh on an otherwise horrible driech morning ![[image]](http://www.pic4ever.com/images/gigglesmile.gif)
You must have been a sight, scurrying along with her in your arms, frightened to put her down in case you got rumbled at having a super spoiled pooch ![[image]](http://www.pic4ever.com/images/loudlaff.gif)

Great news Eliza. She is a wee fighter is Daisy 
Looks as if you had an action packed day out , both of you.
Hot topic - New To Press....Daisy's visit to Royal Dick
OOH!! That is fantastic news. Fairly brightens up the weekend. Daisy looks just beautiful and a real bundle of mischief. We will uncross our paws and fingers for Daisy now (although still keeping them crossed for Twiggy and Sally)
Rascal and Sue

Great news to start the weekend, what a little fighter she is, lots of fun to come with the cheeky little rascal, sounds as if you had quite an adventure!!!all the best Annie, Alfie Frankie & Jess
Hot topic - New To Press....Daisy's visit to Royal Dick
Absolutely FANTASTIC news!!!!! Well done Daisy, and well done your wonderful Mum
You've probably thought about it already, but might be good to email P&J with pics, get them to put in a wee item about how well Daisy has done, so all those wonderful folk who contributed to the fund see what they've helped to acheive, a happy ending always goes down well, and its always a wee bit more publicity for Gagah - with these eyes,and such a great success story, Daisy might well get more folk into the idea of adopting?

Can't wait to see Daisy make her telly debut.
Hugs and slurps

Grandad didn't eat his dinner last night and we thought Great! And then mum fed his chicken to the CAT! She said its only a mouthful for THEM but its a whole dinner for the cat! THEM! Huh! Have some respect! How come the blasted cat is suddenly so important?
Time for a little thievery today we thinks just to show her who's boss.

Thank you so much for the belated Birthday wishes Louise, Misty, and Benjy![[image]](http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-638.gif)
I am sorry Poppy and Tara, I would have sent you up a bit of cake, but I think the postman would have snapped it up, so I thought it was best that I kept the remains here and finish it off, looks like you will have to raid the ![[image]](http://planetsmilies.net/eat-drink-smiley-7850.gif)
am sure your mum will have some goodies specially hidden just for you to find
Tell your mum for the images have a look at this
You will see lots of smilies to choose from - when you have one in mind you want to add to your post:
Point the mouse over the smiley you want
Right click on the mouse
Select "Copy Image Location"
Go back to your post
To the right you will see various boxes
Select image - this box will open
remove the http://
Right click on your mouse and select paste
Then select OK
You should now be able to see a code on your post...
to check that the image has pasted onto your message
select preview and you should see your smiley...
After you have got used to using this one you can search for what you want by just doing a google search and if you have an image in mind like "winking smiley" search for it using google and if you select images (at the top left of your search box) you should be able to see some other smilies, possibly larger etc...like these
Have a look here
and the same thing applies, select the image, then right click, copy image location, come back to your post, select image, remove the http and paste in your copied smiley and select OK.
Other sites with useful smiles (I bookmark them, so that they are easy to find when needed)
