A sad and beautiful scene that could accompany the office. A swan about to die, can not even keep up with neck erect. Stay in the cold, still. Surprisingly when a bird tries to save him.

Without success, the bird is gone. However, in the office we called the SPCA - Society of Dublin for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A charity, established in 1840, which aims to prevent cruelty to animals.

See the video:

The SPCA deals with cruelty, neglect, accident and health of animals.

If you happen to see any animal being ill-treated, or in trouble, get in contact with SPCA - details below:

One more post of collaborators. Thank You!

Hello Edu / Homer: I asked you about how to take my baby with me remember?

Well, I sent an email to the Embassy of Ireland in Brazil and they answered me thus:

"Dear Mrs. Piekatoski acknowledge and appreciate your e-mail sent Jan. 22.

Unfortunately, the Embassy has no information specifies the procedure for cats, however we have other information pertinent to your question.

To enable the entry of the dog in Ireland should provide you an import permit by the Irish Department of Agriculture. The animal will have to stay six months in quarantine in Ireland. There is only a public approved quarantine whose contact is:

Lissenhall Quarantine Kennels and Catteries, Lissenhall, Swords, Co Dublin
Tel: +353 1 8900375 Fax: +353 1 8409338.
Email: Lissenhallvet@eircom.net

The six-month quarantine at the site above is mandatory. The animal must be transported by plane bound for Ireland to Dublin Airport. If the destination is the Cork or Shannon airports, animals must be transported to Dublin by plane.

Transportation from the airport to the quarantine can only be accomplished by only authorized carrier of Ireland: Kelly Couriers, 30 Selska Avenue, Skerries, Co. Dublin. Tel: +353-1-8490807 Fax: +353-1-8029801.

Everything must be organized by the owner of the animals. All costs (quarantine, veterinary, transport, etc..) Is paid by the owner. These arrangements of local quarantine and transport must be taken prior to the issuance of import licenses.

The request for an import permit is made via the 'Application for Licence Form' (Form A) and the 'Form of Declaration and Health' (Form B) to be sent to:

Visit the Irish Department of Agriculture and cats is the same procedure as for dogs! ie: no chance to take my baby! snif snif ... I hope to have collaborated Si ...

Yeah. After three (or four) months living here, finally needed a doctor. The fact is that I preferred to prevent me, as I was worried.

What happened was:

About one week ago, I was bitten by a bug (I was sleeping, not seen). The hash was there, back, want, but this past week, he did not improve anything, and scratched a lot.

On Saturday I met a friend, she hit the eye and said "that's spider bite, it looks even has the two holes"

Then I froze and thought, "fucked" (sorry, had to use that word)

It turns out that on Sunday I started to look bad, and I could not sleep. In the second I had no neck, he felt body aches, fatigue, sleepiness, and stayed with constant headaches.

Alas I was pondering "spider bite damn + headaches, sleep, etc. = fucked!" (Sorry, had to use that word again)

Dialed the doctor. I'll explain how it went:

By insuring GTA, you have a registration number and a phone (Brazil) to call. You do not need to pay for connection, you can call collect if you like. As I had forgotten that detail, I called there (9 cents, for those who do not remember) and talked to the girl, who asked what were my symptoms. Diso then she said:

"Eduardo Giansante?"
"He (said in third person)
"You will receive a return of the doctor in 30 minutes ok?"
"Okay baby"

He took 20 minutes, I received a phone call, a girl also very nice (but now speaking in English), asked me to confirm some data and asked where I lived.

Dublin 3 darling "
"Oh, have a doctor nearby, gets in X Street, Dublin 1, what time you prefer to dial?"
"The first schedule of the morning (thinking that like anything else here would be the ninth)
"Ok, then scheduled for 7:30. I'll send an SMS with the address and hours ok? "
"Ok my daughter"

SMS sirloin arrived too. And there I was, 7 am the next day, pedaling toward the doctor.

A nice townhouse, then stood on the reception, filled out the form (because it was my first time in the office .. same procedure as in Brazil)

The doctor did simpatissíssimo also those basic questions:

"What is your age?"
"24" (ui)
"Are you pregnant?"
"No"
"Ever had intercourse?"
"Yes"
"You smoke?"
"No"
"Drink?"
"Maybe" (lie, I said yes)
"How?"
"12 pints a week (it is an average ..)

Beauty. Then he looked at the spider bite, measured my temperature, my heart heard (no, it was not a therapist, he listened with a stethoscope)

"You'll be fine"

Phew! He said it's only a flu, and prescribed a syrup magic (which cost 18 euros in the pharmacy).

Well, I am alive, strong (but not both), healthy (but not both) and ready for another! (Not to not!)
