More good news, although unofficial as yet Our fire rating apparently won't be high so that means we get to keep our rafter tails and verandah poles, which add a lot of character to the front facade. YAY.
The bad news is that my adored little doggies are both "in the wars". Beau has kennel cough (dog flu) and likely a chest infection poor darling. I have stayed home all weekend to nurse him, trying to get him to drink as he was dehydrated when we went to the vet on Weds. He would have been kept on a drip if it wasn't the weekend, Friday I had two options: leave him at an emergency clinic all weekend or feed him water from a syringe. . . I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow, I need to take him to work if I can...ask my boss for a BIG favour.... and my other dog dislocated his dew claw and had to go under anaesthetic to get it removed.
