Tam &Toby do Europe ...Take two (5 Viewers)

[Northernraider]

Interupting the politics momentarily and not expecting anyone to do anything but I've just spent a very worrying hour or so with my pup. She went out on to my patio sometime after her supper (maybe 9:45ish) I was busy studying Spanish on my computer so wasn't paying much attention.
Next thing I saw she was rubbing her face and a bit later pawing at her eyes.
I ran a teatowel under the cold tap and wiped/bathed her face and eyes, still not to alarmed.
Next time I looked her eyes were swollen up and nearly closed, then the whole top of her muzzle and forehead swelled.
I got a pack of frozen peas wrapped in a teatowel and held over her face and eyes. That seemed to lessen the worst of the swelling.
But then she began to growl and threaten. Then I gave her one of my anti-histom one pills. A little while later she moved on to her bed and is now lying sleeping.

Not so good , I wonder what's caused that ..I hope she's better In morning maybe best getting her checked by vet just incase

 

[Val 3 dogs]

Yes horrible things. I'm so relieved we don't get them. If we did. I think I would have to sell up and move,it would be unbearable with the dogs.

 

[scousebird]

Hope the pup is better this morning Val 2 dogs

Beautiful ain't it , I've seen it a few times in Spain and on the hymer groups
The interior is outstanding
Very rare and worth a small fortune

Sorry but everything in life involves politics
And I guess at the end of this trip I'm just facing the fact if tories get back in it will be the last longterm trip I do?‍

Why.? Hope I am still going for a long time yet..What has government got to do with travelling.? BUSBY.

 

[Val 3 dogs]

Morning everyone, I'm just back from the vet having had Querida checked over.
She is absolutely fine and back to her noisy bumptious self!
He thinks the most probable cause was a wasp sting. I think with hindsight he is right, the wretched things are crawling about here in a dozy state.
Note to self, next time think of the obvious things first before frightening yourself with the less likely!
So thank you everyone for your support, it is a big comfort to know you are all there. Thanks

I’d like to say welcome back to the U.K. Tam but I’ll hold my breath.......????

I know as someone probably 25 years younger than the average member on here that I'm banging my head of a brick wall trying to change folks minds

Yep, I doubt if you remember a labour government with basic rate income tax at 35% & higher rate at 95%, double the VAT rate on washing machines as they were classed as luxury items.
That the sort of thing we will be looking at if JC were to get in, god help us.

Wasp stings can be alarming on dogs, but seem to resolve quickly. Meg caught one last year, her lip swelled up so she looked like she was sucking a gobstopper but it went down quite soon without treatment.

Had this with my dog before and gave a Piriton, the swelling went and the lumps/bumps on his back, and by a mere half hour later he was fine and dandy. Monitored it- but nothing seemed untoward. Hope all good now?

My dog literally eats them out of the air- nothing I can do to stop him. I am not muzzling him all the time, sometimes they clearly hurt him when they sting ...other times he just glances a blow on the little nippers and they didn't get the full sting out

They've killed the nhs , they can't put things right.

With my recent experiences via the wife, unfortunately I have to agree.

Cant trust a word the man says and that's a fact , he lies about everything

True. but then they all do.

I'm all for allowing England to vote on a Scottish indy referendum.....maybe that way we would actually get it.

That's why they won't allow it.

Good to hear she is back to normal & I reckon you are right re; the wasp.

Ah bless, love at first sight.... when can we expect the pitter patter of tiny Hymers....?

Well that's more to do with Brexit than anything else ...they want to stay in an eu country ....I think many more will follow if we leave.

Not sure about that - Google favoured their HQ in Ireland because of the generous tax deal that was offered.

"Apple, Google and Facebook Inc all base their European operations in Ireland, which has a low basic corporate tax rate. Ireland has successfully resisted efforts by other European states to align tax calculations across the region."
It is currently being investigated by EU authorities.

No it's purely financial i.e. Corp tax! I'd consider it also then have 'satellite' offices in the UK mainland.
