Dog needs loving home

Post by **Semsema** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 11:45 am

Can any English speaking ex pat offer a 6 year old dog a good, kind and loving home? German Shepherd - not big though.

You must be prepared to tell him he is gorgeous, handsome and the best dog in the world, in return he will be your obedient companion.

My husband's continued ill health forces this.

Please p.m. if there is anyone out there who wants to be looked at with complete adoration from a pair of beautiful brown eyes.

I can vouch for this boy...... he's one of the kindest soppiest dogs you'll ever meet.... a true sweetheart.... I know him well !!!

If I was still in Hurghada I'd have him in a heartbeat.... he deserves a lovely kind owner!!

Sem..... I hope you can find him a great home, and Mr C gets better soon!!!

Hi Semsema,

Sorry to hear about Mr C, hope he feels better soon. Have you asked Dr Sameh to find a good home for him, maybe he could help or put a notice up in his surgery and waiting room.

Thanks everyone. Sorry Ihaven't been on but I am having to be very careful at work. All our internet access is being monitored with wage cuts for those caught surfing. Have lost connection at home.

I will contact Dr. Sameh.

Suesue, our eldest says that because Mr. C has been out of the country for so long, he is going to have to pay for his tests etc.! I didn't realise this happened. Love to you and Mr. M.

Semsema
My heart goes out to you, i kind of know how you must be feeling.
My husband is in hospital very sick, he is a heart and kidney patient, and just yesterday i had to give permission for my wonderful friend Sage(German Shepherd) to be put to sleep, she had of all things Renal Failure.
Its so hard when you have to say goodbye to your pets honey isnt it.
If i lived in Hurghada you would already have the loving home you look for, for him.
I hope all goes well for you and yours.
The very best of luck with everything.
Christine.

I'm sure Mr. C will get on much better in the UK.... treatment for his condition is very common.... and very good!
I'm sure you'll miss him like crazy too.... I know what a devoted couple you are!
Try not to worry too much.... I'm sure he'll thrive!!
Love to you both.

I got back from the airport Friday night and Max immediately ran to the gate looking for Mr. C. He came in, threw himself down and let out an enormous sigh!!!!! Yes he is a bit of a drama queen.

The good news is that the guys really looked after Mr. C at the airport. They lifted his bags on to the conveyor belt for him. Saw him safely checked in and through immigration. Speedy Boarding Plus certainly worked for him. The flight was early in to Gatwick and within 15 minutes my grandson and son-in-law had met him. My son-in-law didn't recognised him.

He says the swelling in his feet has gone down but is having to wear socks as it has rained non stop since his arrival and they are cold!!!!

Has a first appointment on Wednesday afternoon.

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes.

Suesue, I cannot believe that you phoned me on Thursday night. Thanks for the advice my friend, it has been noted. Love to you and Mr. M.

Christine my thoughts are with you and it is so kind of you to write when you have so much of your own problems to contend with.

Sem, I'm so glad Mr C had a successful and comfortable journey.
Now, all he's got to do is get better!!
He's in good hands now.
Keep me updated!

Love from us both X X X

Mr. C had INR blood count done yesterday. It is 4.2. He has to stop the aspirin immediately and cut down on the Marevan - Suesue, we were both right and there is no way he would have been on both in the UK. Also the Doc there agreed with me that Mr. C's stomach problems were probably due to the aspirin.

He is 17 kg underweight.

Doc was concerned because when he was lying down, he could not feel Mr. C's liver and he doesn't like the look of his colour. Possibly a touch of jaundice.

Today he is getting full bloods done. Tomorrow he goes for x-ray and scans.

Back for another INR test next Wednesday and sees the Doc on Thursday for results.

When we spoke he sounded happier, I think he has more confidence in the Docs over there and he says this guy is really nice.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.

So glad he's geting treated as he should, Sem!
It's strange how the both of us thought he shouldn't be on warfarin and aspirin.... but the Egyptian doctor continued to have him on both.... sounds like Mr C went home just at the right time!!!
The aspirin too..... it's well-known how bad it is for the stomach!!
I said it before... thank God for the NHS!!!

Give our love to Mr C.... and hope he makes a quick recovery!!

We've been home just over a week now.... it's hotter than Hurghada here right now.... feels like we've never been away!

Love to you both.

Suesue, Love to you both. Have e-mailed you with the latest update.

I think I could now be officially known as a total basket case.

Post by **Hurghadapat** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 4:57 pm

Semsema don't know what the results are but for sure my thoughts and prayers are with you so you take care

Post by **FABlux** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 6:13 pm

Will be thinking of you on Monday

Post by **Christine** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 11:42 am

Hi Sem
Basket cases R US !!!! you are not on your own

Alan still in hospital going off of his head on Morphine, and still awaiting his MRA scan, which should be on Monday.
Im glad Mr c is getting the correct treatment bless him.
Once his meds are stable, they could help his weight loss by giving dietry suppliments. Possibly already are doing this?
Hope everything goes well.
Im sure it will.
Love Chris x
