Vet Visit no.2

Bones was back at the vet today at 10am to go under a general anesthetic for the removal of the two epulis in his mouth. Along with this he got a cyst removed from his neck and additionally the vet discovered on close inspection that 3 teeth needed to be removed. That's some amount of work on the poor fella.

But we picked him up at 6.30pm and he was in ok form all considering.

Once we got home he hopped in to his basket snuggled up and went straight asleep.....except for a little walk in to the kitchen to beg Ciaran for some ham - which of course he obliged!

 Across from the vet clinic is an interesting mid century modern building. It's the former Irish Nationwide Building (which was originally built for the Carroll's Tobacco Company) and was designed by Robinson Keefe Devane.  It is currently undergoing some refurbishment but hopefully it won't change too much.

I wonder if the Devane is Andrew Devane who designed the Irish Life Building on Talbot Street.  I'm sure my sister may know as she worked for Irish Life for nearly 20 years.

A funny story about my sister working for this Insurance company was that prior to starting working with Irish Life she worked as a proof reader for a company that produced numerous magazines and publications. An American friend of hers was visiting her and rather than heading from the airport to meet my sister at home after work, she decided to head in to the city to surprise my sister at her place of work.  
So she headed in to the city and not knowing where Amy's actual workplace was she called in to the tourist office for help. And it was there that she told the tourist office assistant that her friend worked for "Irish Life Magazine" and could she direct her to the building where the magazine was based. 
Well the assistant helped as best she could but she told T. that there was no magazine called "Irish Life" but that there was an insurance company.  
And then it was at this point that T. uttered the best statement ever and 20 years later my twin sister and I  still laugh about
"Oh no, Amy would NEVER work for an Insurance Company"

Hope that little story gave YOU a laugh!!
