Now he is feeling better so I can finally have proper good night's sleep, hopefully :) Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-61529221343296672292013-12-26T17:07:57.286+02:002013-12-26T17:07:57.286+02:00Thank you, Christine!

We didn't get to travel this time around, but I changed the tickets for the beginning of January. <br /><br />Sicknesses during holidays are awful, whether it'd be a child or a cat or an adult (I also remember one Christmas from childhood when my voice was totally gone :D)Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-15032822767170050312013-12-26T17:06:46.095+02:002013-12-26T17:06:46.095+02:00Thank you, Bettina.

I haven't seen the North and South series, but it has been talked about very highly by many people so I am planning to watch it when I'm done with the book :) Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-52035785396307242842013-12-26T17:05:20.073+02:002013-12-26T17:05:20.073+02:00I thought of taking Robert with, but there was the...I thought of taking Robert with, but there was the problem of documents not being up do date (obviously I wasn't planning to travel with pets :) ) and secondly his situation was serious enough I figured that moving him from his home environment would have created a lot additional stress on an already weakened organism. He was in a very bad condition, in so bad that I wouldn't put the burden of looking after that sick of a pet on anyone else's burden and secondly, I'm not sure I would trust anyone else with my sick pet (I have a lot of past experience treating very ill cats from my years in cat shelter). <br /><br />He is feeling better now, though, and I will hopefully see my parents in the beginning of the January. :) Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-68295632537066787872013-12-24T23:41:24.592+02:002013-12-24T23:41:24.592+02:00I'm so sorry to hear about Robert.

Sending my best wishes to you all (including Robert) and Christmas cheer.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, Riv. It has been lovely to meet you (so to speak) this year!Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362128444319074118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-10408240650391382212013-12-23T05:25:43.264+02:002013-12-23T05:25:43.264+02:00I feel like this is just a generally kind-of gloom...I feel like this is just a generally kind-of gloomy Christmas season. At least, I've seen several other bloggers (and myself, of course) that is kind of done with it and just looking forward to the new year.<br /><br />But poor Robert! I hope he starts feeling better :-( I can only imagine how stressful that is for you, I would hate to leave Gabby even for a day if she wasn't feeling good. Hopefully it all works out.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196903315080725315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-16575728532736730832013-12-22T21:08:26.139+02:002013-12-22T21:08:26.139+02:00I'm so sorry to hear about Robert!

I hope you do get your Christmas miracle and he's feeling better in time for you to travel.<br /><br />I didn't have any pets growing up, but often was sick myself on Christmas, my dad's birthday, and sometimes summer vacation -- so I was the spoilsport! Thankfully when I finally had my tonsils removed, I stopped ruining holidays & birthdays :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-48710884856798928122013-12-22T20:08:03.706+02:002013-12-22T20:08:03.706+02:00I am so sorry to hear about your sick pet, especia...I am so sorry to hear about your sick pet, especially if this will mess up your travel plans again.

And I suppose you aren't allowed to take cats across the border?<br /><br />I hope things look up soon, and that you get to spend some time with your friends and family.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.com
