Thank you so much!

 

Horton had his Vet visit this afternoon. He weighs 85.5, got his Bordetella vaccine and not due for Rabies until 2016, although the Vet was concerned that Immigration in Mexico may have a problem with a 3 year vaccine. We'll see if they let me off the ship or not in Mexico, he wants me to call his office and let him know if they do. to better inform his clients who cruise.

 

In April, we'll be going on a 10 day cruise deeper into Mexico.....I'll ask Immigration if his Rabies will cover him for that cruise as well [since he's not due until 2016.]. We'll see. I don't like overdoing the vaccine if not necessary. But, I may have no choice if they insist on the one year thing. I don't mind staying onboard for Ensenada but I want to get off the ship in Mazatlan and Cabo.

 

Also, I started Horton on NexGard Chewables for fleas and ticks. So much easier than the Advantix, although it is pricey. I will get a break for Horton being a Service Dog but I'd like to see all dogs get the advantage of these drugs without the price being so exorbitant that folks can't afford to give their animals the best of care!

Roz, we will be thinking of you as you sail away this weekend. Wishing we were there too.

By the way, have you seen on the news all the damage from Hurricane Odile in Cabo? Hope it will all be built back by your cruise date in April. Weather folks here in Kansas City are saying we will get some heavy rain from the hurricane on Saturday. Apparently we will have a cold front sitting over us when the hurricane's tropical rain gets to us. Bummer weekend!

Happy sailing!

Thank you, Horton and I are going to have a relaxing cruise.

 

Baja is going to be hit hard. I hope not too badly. It seems they clean-up and rebuild and something else happens to them. So difficult for them because they really depend on the tourist dollars.

 

The ships are just starting to go down into Mexico again after all the trouble with the cartels taking away all the business at the coastal cities.

 

It's 108 degrees here today.......................:o

And from all of us too Aunty Roz and Coz Horton - have a waggy fabulous pawsome time - sending you big Woofs and puppy kisses from Aruba, Max and Poppy XXX (oh and Mum ;):p:D)

 

PS - Hope Aunty Dobiemom doesn't mind us pinching her Bon Voyage flashing sparkly message for Aunty Roz, as our Mum has clearly no idea how to post one of them!

Thank you Fairbourne "and crew!"

 

The weather all around my cruise is going to be so "iffy!" It's absolutely "boiling" here in L.A., it's very hot in San Francisco and it's humid, hot, windy and stormy in Baja, Mexico. Mexico may not be the safest place to go this week but by the time we head down there, which will be Friday, Sept. 26th, everything will have changed [hopefully, to the better!] It may change where we go but as long as we're out to sea onboard this glorious ship, I don't really care where we go......It can be the cruise to nowhere as far as I'm concerned! ;) Just get me on that ship!♥

 

Can't let the little things like "weather" rain on my parade! :cool: :D

[trudle]

Have a great cruise Roz and Horton. I ordered good weather for you.

Keith, it goes without saying that Horton and I wish all the wonderful folks in Cabo and along the Baja Peninsula and into Mexico, well. They get the worst of it when there is bad weather and I know how much they look forward to the cruise ships and visitors who come and enjoy the beauty of their beaches and their warmth and welcoming friendship.

Roz & Horton,

 

Have a great, relaxing cruise. And don't think about us poor, unfortunate souls back here just waiting for your return so we can hear about what a wonderful time you had. :(

It's gonna be a quiet week. :rolleyes:

Thank you so much. You know how there's so much to do before you go away, especially if you travel with a Service Dog......Well, my list of things to buy, things to pack, things to do is getting bigger and bigger! I wonder if this is what happens when you get OLDER!!!???:mad:

 

Oh! Lord! Help me, I'm packing some of his favorite toys and he's sitting by the bag, "alerting" me to the fact that someone's stuffed one of his favorite stuffies in a bag that he can't reach.....over and over again! He comes to my chair "bops" me on my knee and walks to the bag and sits down.....Good boy, but not now!!!!! :rolleyes: What a character! :p

Roz and Horton have a good cruise and have fun. Bon Voyage



Fairbourne, hope it's spelled right. I think you live in Scotland. If you do I hope you are pleased with the result of your election. I very much enjoy your stories and journeys with Aruba. Susan

Hello Susan, yes we do live in Scotland. Yes very pleased - we are proud to be Scottish, and delighted to be United! We have had an unprecedented turn out for the voting in the referendum - and we are lucky that we live in such a democratic country where we can make our choice without any fears. Aruba went twice to the polling place - once with us and earlier in the day at a different one with her Aunty Cuddles who had her for a sleepover the night before.

Our journey with Aruba is lovely and I'm glad you enjoy her tails! :D.
