42. Dogs and rain...!

It's been a frustrating few days here in Planet Haven Spain First off is the non progress on decorating here in Spain they just don't have the same stuff we are used to in the UK, for example the plaster and filler they use is far too brittle which is why it cracks so easy and for some reason the paint over her just does it's own thing and dry's to what ever colour it wants at any time it wants and therefore I have one green wall that is around 30 different shades from the same container. Lorni has had a lot to sort out in town and when she is in town I have to watch the puppy so nothing gets done. Going to have to sort this out this week before we start getting visitors.

Keeping on the subject of dogs, I think Harry has been brilliant with this hyper active over the top Galgo puppy he has been so tolerant, of course there are times when he has to tell her off but for the most part they get  on.

Willow is still learning of course and she is getting better and better every day but we still have a way to go, when out walking she really gets excited when she sees another dog well I hope it's excitement and she pulls like mad to get at them, I hope it's because she wants to play but! I'm not taking any chances, so to help both Lorni and I and Willow we bought her a decent harness,

Two days ago I cut a walk short as it started to rain, more on that later, I opened the front door but Willow wanted more she wasn't ready to come in I felt a quick pull on the lead and when I looked down I had hold of the lead and the harness but no Willow she was off like a shot boy is she fast down the road and after Lorni who was driving into town, thankfully she saw what happened and stopped, Willow then ran back past me and then back again I waited in the park and when she came back for the fourth time I called her and she stopped and trotted over. I wont be using that harness again.

Back tot he rain, over the last few days we have has some wet stuff and yes I know that if this part of Spain has 300 days of sunshine a  year then we are going to get 65 days of non sunshine which includes rain. But boy did it rain the other day.

I have my fingers crossed that the better weather is now on it's way and we can say goodbye to the wet stuff for a while. Next job is to sort out some medical insurance and go claim our 5 year residency cards.
