Kite surfing

Day 167- Wednesday

Take Buddy for his post-op check. Everything healing well! Come home to get ready for Mall of Emirates. Mum needs to buy Matt a present still so more shopping today! Decide to bring the chair with us today though.

We have the biggest Thai salad for lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. We can't finish but it is so good you don't want to stop eating! Glad I am in my wheelchair to be pushed around as I am soo full! However, after another hour we have an ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery! Couldn't resist!

Pick Matt up from school and go to the beach for his kite surfing lesson. This is part of his birthday present. Mum and I sit on sunbeds watching. The whole 2 hour lesson is how to use the kite. Boring to watch but Matt has a good time. Feel really relaxed after reading on the beach and we decide to have take out when we get in. Just realized how 'Americanised' I'm becoming- take away for my English readers!!!

As we park in our garage the dogs don't bark. This normally means they have done something naughty. But as we open the door we hear them fighting. Matt runs in and Malika is attacking Buddy. She has punctured his face just below his eye. We phone the emergency vet, again! And we have to rush him round. We try the local vets at the Polo club. We were really impressed with them and will be using them from now on.  It is decided that he needs an operation to stitch it up so we leave him there for the evening. Malika is costing us a fortune in vet bills for Buddy, I feel so sorry for him. This is his second operation this week.

Get home and no longer feel relaxed. Malika has ruined the evening. Head to bed early worrying about Buddy.
