Chico came

........for a couple of hours. A difficult decision about having him stay in November for 3 weeks. He was OK but anxious. He's coming back for 5 days from this coming Saturday, so that should help us with a decision.
He will be 14 in November and that is my concern, he's not in the best health anyway. 

We have never faced this kind of dilemma before, made more difficult because of my major operation at the end of this month.

I don't like to let anyone down, but I think his owners were rather thoughtless booking a holiday, given Chico's age.
