Today started
at 8am with a cage of dogs to greet us before we had even set up. We are
actually very grateful to the council for the truck hire and assistance with
supplying dogs which maximizes our possible use of time here….which turned into
another nearly 10 hour very busy day! We reached a new record of 63 surgeries
for the day, including several pregnant cats and other cat desexings. So
needless to say we are tired but happy again! A box of hard to find Bulla icecreams
was a bonus treat on our way home, with more fish and rice for dinner : )
The day was
punctuated by visits from many cat owners, a visit from the South Tarawa member
for Parliament, and over 100 school children at the end of their school day
crowding around trying to watch. Noisy and inquisitive onlookers!

Helen made sure that the MP heard some stats about parasite burdens in the dogs and implications for human health, and I added some thoughts on dog management legislation to give him something to think about. We'll see. Small steps each visit.

Final day
tomorrow. Hoping our stamina will last the distance. Another very encouraging
day. Beautiful sunset on the way home as we bought fresh bone fish (minutes off the boat) for dinner.
