Ian thankfully survived this gate, having not been secured correctly blowing open in front of him as he was driving home last night, in the dark on a country lane, he missed the gate, but hit numerous 6-8 inch trees along the side of the Discovery and then stopping passenger side down in a 6 foot ditch, thank god he was in the Discovery and not my little car, it took him a little while to get out and run back to shut gate before anyone actually hit it...
Anyway the Discovery didn't look too bad until the recovery people came to get it out and they smashed the front window and put a chain through the doors to get it out and squashing the drivers side roof at the same time, so it's now a write off, as you can imagine Ian is gutted he has spent may hours and money getting it ready to rock and roll, oh they tried to drive it out and broke the diff too, not sure how they thought they could drive it out with only the two passenger wheels on the ground..but hey they did!
So we went and emptied of our personal belongings, also please that the both end dog guards where in place as they have taken a bashing from Ian's work tools in the back, but he walked away with no broken bones or cuts, so THANK YOU who ever you are looking after him and long may you continue...Bet the sunroof leaks now! Only those with Discovery will laugh at that one!
Sennen was spayed yesterday too, poor girl she has just had to get on with it, I stayed with her whilst she had her pre-med and was meant to go back sit with her before she woke up and then bring her home, Nikki came from Canine Remedial Massage for Mindy, so I didn't get to pick her up until 12.30. My vets are great, I did tell them that she had started to guard her crate and I was working hard to resolve this and hoped they wouldn't put her in a crate if there were any other dogs in the room with her (she's fine with people) any way when I got back for her there she was sat on a fleece with a duvet over the top of her in reception behind the desk, how nice is that, great vets Rock View, she is resting now with one of Ian's tee shirts on to stop her licking although I have not even had a look at it yet, I am sure once we have stopped flying around and leave it all to someone else, Ian will no doubt stiffen up and I'll have a cry (may be)
It seems to help having a blog to write it all down!

Goodness you are having a time of it. Glad to hear Ian is fine. I guess he could buy another one to do up..........
Hi there, just showing my husband how I can comment on your blog but not on others' in the hope he can resolve it. Hope your Ian feeling less shaken now by accident. Who owned the gate by the way?
ha it worked, I can by using the different browers, internet explorer seems to cause lots of differnt problems... the gate we have found was owned by a very strange old boy with a unimog! the rest of that story to this is far too LONG!
Well I am incognito on a few blogs now it seems as that is the only thing that works. Iain is baffled...Had to look up 'unimog' - not in my usual vocabulary (!!!)- but I suspect your Ian and that chap have found lots of common ground...... :-)Hx
