She had her first rabies injection, her micro chip and got her grown-up Spanish passport.
The only occasions Querida has been in the car have been to visit the vet, so I was delighted when she hopped into the back on the second time of asking.
She stood quietly (attached by her harness) looking out of the window as we made the 20munute drive.
She waited patiently with the tailgate up while I swopped her onto her lead, then with only a momentary hesitation jumped out at my request and we made our way to the surgery.
On recognising her whereabouts and the door being open she entered eagerly and lay down inside. She was greeted and admired by an English family group who were in buying supplies of kibble and a new dog harness.
She sat up wagging her tail and graciously accepting their attention and conpliments!
I was delighted with her behaviour as she can sometimes get somewhat over enthusiastic on meeting strangers.
When her turn came she was delighted to receive a treat from the vet and didn't notice that while she ate it he was Injecting her
Wisely he nuzzled her before inserting the chip, she used some seriously bad doggy expletives and swore to kill him while that happened. Moments later he slipped the muzzle off and gave her more treats- all was forgiven, he was her favourite person again!
There is no doubt that the way to Querida's heart is through her tummy - she is seriously food motivated! Which might account for her weighing in yesterday at 35kg.and I hasten to add she is not fat- but by gum she is solid! and apparently still only about half grown
