Permission for take off

Gus our true mad dog CAN come to India!! I have found a solution to his quarantine issue on re-entry into the U.K. This is a huge weight off my mind.

All I can reveal is, that Gus will NOT be spending 6 months in solitary confinement with no exercise. We have an alternative route back and let's just say it's better than I could ever have expected.

On other news Mr Maddog is now in India working in his new posting. He seems O.K. apart from his driver not turning up to collect him from the Hotel for an important meeting at work, making him late. He did not speak any English either. I understand you go through a few drivers before you find the right one for you!

Our house is about to hit the market for sale - our Company are buying the house off us, yay! I just hope it sells quickly as the housing market in the U.K. is falling and our buyers will absorb up to 20% off the selling price. It's getting very scary here with people in the City talking about a 30 -40% fall in house prices and many job losses to come in the next year.

When I asked someone who works in the City where should we put our assets after the sale, they replied that we should buy gold and dig a hole in the garden! This is all reminiscent of the early-mid 70's.

On another note, the baby Maddogs have their last jab this week, another yay! I have been so impressed how they have handled jabs every week for over 9 weeks. True professionals now, no tears and hardly any flinching.

Hello Mad dogs,
We're also moving out to TAmil Nadu in a few months, so interested to hear how things go for you.
Glad you managed to organise taking your dog.
Have some questions for you, but maybe they'll wait 'til next time.
best,
