When we got back to the Tg-Jiu shelter we needed to take a couple of dogs to the vet. I left with Patricia to take Scoopy from the shelter and one of the dogs of Rovinari shelter, Nelli as we named her, to be examined. The other dog brought from Rovanari, called Nalle, stayed at the shelter since we assumed he was suffering from hunger and weakness. 

The local vet examined Scoopy first. For already several weeks Scoopy had had some trouble breathing and there had been some leaking from his nostrils and eyes. This vet in question had examined Scoopy many times earlier and diagnosed many diseases according to the dog's symptoms. This time when he had seen Scoopy he was certain that Scoopy suffered from maxillary sinus infection. Scoopy was given medical fluids to his vein and we hoped that this time the diagnosis would be correct. After examining Nelli the vet suggested that the wisest thing to do was to take Nelli to be x-rayed to a human hospital. Those x-rays would show if there were multiple fractures in Nelli's body. If it would turn out that Nelli would only have leg fractures the vet could fix those. Because Nelli's legs and tail moved and they were sensitive to touching we agreed that there would probably be no fractures on Nelli's spine.

After we came back to the shelter from the vet I was quite exhausted and felt a vicious pounding in my head. I hoped it would pass soon because I knew that at its worst I'd have a hell of a night ahead of me.

Anu and Carita had continued the cleaning of the cages on Friday and secured that the warehouse building was also cleaned up. The local bypassers had been interested in what had been going on at the shelter. There had been even a local gypsy youngster singing and dancing for the ladies! The road right next to the shelter is very busy and there's constantly also Romani people walking or going with their carriages. I can imagine the locals had been wondering to see how we all worked at the shelter sweating like on a marathon!

Heli and Jukka had focused on the instructions of how to build the extra warehouse and had begun to put the pieces together. This construction had quite of a number of different kinds of parts and we had been prepared already earlier that we might not be able to build the warehouse by ourselves. Even the fact that there are so many things to do at the shelter and there's no use making any plans makes things harder. 

We also had another challenge when pursuing to put the warehouse together. Even if we had put together the framework during the day, we couldn't have moved it behind the locks. This would have meant that someone could've stolen the frame from the shelter. We concluded that the construction should be built ready in a day so no one could steal it. We are trying to get Mauri with his team to help with the extra warehouse as soon as they return Romania in May. I doubt that it won't take long till these professionals manage to build the thing together.
