G is for ..........Getting Away for the Weekend

This weekend we're getting away from it all and heading out of London and up north to visit family for Father's Day weekend.  I'm looking forward to a break from the hustle and bustle, my usual visit to the local car boot sale and I might even get to catch a Zumba class, if I'm lucky.

All Father's Day gifts and cards are written and wrapped in readiness, and packed carefully into a bag ready to take with us.  (Must remember NOT to forget it.)  I just need to pack our clothing and the dog's food, do a few last minute jobs and we're ready to go.

Talking of the dog, we had to pay a last minute visit to the vet this morning.  The dog had an operation on Monday and needed a post op check before we headed out.  She seems very well, although she hasn't liked wearing the special neck collar all week, to stop her chewing at her stitches. Here's a picture of her with it on. 

 

Bless her.  She's coped well with everything, all things considered.  We're just pleased it was all so straightforward with no complications.  With the agreement of the vet we've taken the collar off today and she doesn't seem to be taking any interest in her stitches which will be coming out next week. I think she'll probably enjoy the change of scenery this weekend, but most of all, I think she'll enjoy a change of neckwear!
