Wednesday 13 August Polly goes to the vet

We've now learned the Government vet clinic was open between 2pm and 5pm. Time for Polly to try out the transport basket we've been given and take a ride shoreside. She was very good and it was much safer than travelling in a backpack as she did when we went to the vet in Sandakan.
Poor Polly being shipped around but it is for her own good – she needs one final booster shot for respiratory illnesses. At first it seems we might be thwarted as the clinic closes at 4pm and it's now fifteen minutes after and the vet has left for the day. Not wanting to give up easily we press our case and a nurse assistant is persuaded to sell us the vaccine and instruct us on how to do the injection next Thursday.
The taxi had waited for us and now brought us back to the yacht club where Polly was the centre of attraction. She's most amenable to being cuddled and while she was happy to be held when we tried her loose with her collar and lead it wasn't such a success.

blissfully unaware of what was to come
