Sadly, the time has come. We're off in the morning headed to the west coast of Florida where we'll visit sister Kiki and redo our interior. We also have a 44lb Rocna waiting for us there and are getting new chain, so we got that going for us, which is nice.

Pups are surely going to miss their daily outings to Flat Cay, as will we.

Good news on the Gordon front. Here is the update we received last yesterday from Nassau:
Dear All,

I just got off the phone with Dr. Sands of the Central Animal Hospital.

Dr. Sands has informed me that Gordon is now in his care at the hospital, and that contrary to what we had been told at The Bahamas Humane Society, Gordon's left leg shows no sign of a fracture, and that the dislocation of his spinal column between the L1 and L2 vertebrae is not a condition that would require "pinning", as that is a procedure used to mend a fracture.

Gordon is to be "crated" for at least five days, and is being given a course of anti-inflammatories, as well as having his abrasions tended to, and whatever else he may require. Dr. Sands's main concern is whether or not there may be any nerve damage, which will only be known after a few days on course of strong anti-inflammatories.

I was very pleased to hear Dr. Sands refer to Gordon as a very happy dog, and one who he believes has every chance to lead a very happy life, whether it be on two legs or four.

I will be given status updates every day, and shall pass them along when I receive them.

If permissable, I will go see Gordon on Thursday, and will pass along a few snaps of Gordon The Lucky.

I would like to thank everyone for their help. It is quite clear that both The Bahamas Humane Society and The Central Animal Hospital felt the full weight of your efforts.

Best regards and fingers crossed,
Philip

Philp and Lisa are the amazing couple who brought Gordon to Nassau and have taken care of his treatment. We very much hope he will be back home here on Long Island when we return in December.
