Vet Visit

I was taken yesterday to visit my local vet for my annual booster. Regrettably my two legged did not tell me why or where we were going, probably as it would have given me time to abscond before being taken, however it then made me dread getting in the car even though the visit was short and reasonably painless but as always not one I wish to replicate regularly. Anyway when I returned I met a fellow in the car park who was a bit hobbly.

Anyway after a brief discussion our conversation soon got onto health and he explained that every day he was given, when his two legged remembered, a squirt of metacalm. It did not taste nice but seemed to ease his joints and therefore the pain was worthwhile. I was then able to make a suggestion of a solution on several fronts and prompted my two legged to highlight these to my new friends master. Having taken drugs for my creaking joints before I have been recommended to move my diet to another source and thus killing tow birds with one stone- First I get a better joints and secondly I get another meal!! Life cannot be too bad and now J/D Dog Food is a staple part of my day. Whilst two leggeds often forget to administer medicine- especially as we neglect to remind them, I never let them forget my dinner and am always intent on reminding them!!

Re: Wood pellet over consumption
It's never ideal to run out when you need them but it's great to see you using them.

I hope the repairs are holding well!
Re: 39th Year at Eriska kicks off
We will look forward to seeing you in 2012 and hopefully it will be a good boating year!
Re: 39th Year at Eriska kicks off
Glad to hear that "stealth mode" has been replaced by personal communication and would like to take this opportunity of wishing all at "Eriska" a happy and prosperous 2012. Should the weather be even relatively
kind in the spring and/or summer we hope to visit via your mooring buoys and pontoons.
Re: Busy End to 2011
Hi, happy new year to you and your team; we have entered the new year with a Labrador puppy and have named him Eriska chosen because our last lab. Marmite, found the hotel, the island,the welcome from his Lab friends- not least the biscuits, to be heaven; rolling on fish eggs, swimming amongst the rocks and knowing we had to walk all the way round the Island to get back- no short cuts allowed. So,after he died quite young from cancer we know he would want the puppy that followed him to know about Eriska. So no doubt he joins others with the same name. I am sure we will be coming to introduce him to the Eriska experience some time soon. regards David and Steph.
Re: Christmas now in full swing
Merry Christmas- we all raised a glass to toast your Birthday and your absence. I trust the weather is slightly better but with roaring log fires and a full bar we are struggling to survive¬!
Re: Christmas now in full swing
It seems strange reading this and not being with you this year, but I guess spending Christmas Day on the beach somewhat makes up for it. Happy Christmas from our new home on the other side of the world in New Zealand.
Re: Wonders of everchanging Seasons
One of the wonders is the unpredictability, we dress for the sunshine and it rains, we prepare for the cold and it is mild but that is Scotland and in many ways thats what makes it so special. Have a safe journey and we are all looking forqrad to seeing you and the Christmas Festivities

Re: Relais Chateaux membership begins!
We are delighted to be working alongside so many well known names in the British hotel Industry and the fact that we are all individual and allowed to excel in different areas is one of the attractions of Relais & Chateaux . We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship but above all we look forward to welcoming Mr and Mrs Heath back to Eriska for their 20th Visit at Christmas.
Re: Relais Chateaux membership begins!
The Isle of Eriska and Relais & Chateaux; the perfect marriage!
It has my blessing.
Congratulations Beppo
