Mark let sheep into Goose paddock where they enthusiastically munched on the longest grass they’ve seen in months. He also took Bangle for her morning walk in Pakowhai Regional Park while I did the weeks shopping so that she would be calm and patient when we visited Karola in the afternoon. He then continued with the chook run gate.

I did the shopping, came home, picked up Bangle and drove back into town to the hospital. Had a hospital café lunch then went with Bangle to see Karola. To my delight Karola is wearing normal clothes today and we sat out in the garden again in the sun.

While there Karola was visited by one of the doctors and they chatted for quite a while. It’s possible Karola could go home some time next week. The Tuesday doctor’s meeting is where they discuss who is ready for discharge. And apparently I can take Karola out in the car if she can safely get in and out – I’ll follow that up tomorrow. If not the Zoe then surely the Landrover seats are high enough off the ground.

Karola groomed Bangle for a while and we took off her collar and I popped her up on the seat next to Karola so she didn’t have to bend down. Afterwards I put her back on the ground but forgot to put her colla and lead back on. Next thing you know a nurse has brought Bangle back from a little adventure visiting the wards; dogs must be kept on a leash, cats must be in a cat crate. But it’s the only ward in the hospital that allows dogs and cats in I was told – it’s such a good idea.
