It was just one thing after another and I couldn't help but feel that I was not supposed to make it back to England!
The French lady behind the desk at the Euro tunnel pet check in was very sympathetic when I explained the situation with the travel documents and seeing as it had been a very long time since I had been shown any sympathy, I just let it all out and reeled off to her all the events that had occurred of late!
She took me to one side and got me a hot drink and I could see in her eyes that she was devastated for me!
It was nearly 4pm but despite this she rang round every vet in the area to try and find one who would be able to give lula the vaccination that evening so we could travel the following evening.
She managed to find one that was a 20km drive away who was willing to wait for me to get there before closing and who would do the vaccination for 50 euros seeing as thats all I had left.
The French lady said that she would book me a room in a hotel near the terminal so that I could get a good nights sleep when I returned but I told her that I had no money so I would have to sleep in the car. She was so surprised and said that surely my family would pay for a room after everything I had been through as it was going to be very cold that night.
I told her that I would have to sleep in the car and I had done so for a week already which my family were well aware of..
On seeing the utter bewilderment in her face that I had slept in the car a week and my family was aware of this, I felt ashamed and I also then at that point felt very let down by my so called family and friends!
I went to the vet and got Lula sorted then drove back to near the euro tunnel and I parked up in a supermarket carpark for the night!
We had no food and it was already freezing at 7pm and I knew it was going to be a tough night.
I was still thinking about the fact my family knew that I had been sleeping in the car for a week and that it was cold and I was angry with them all now as I knew that I would never let anyone I cared about have to go through this after knowing about the misery and traumatic time I had already endured.
I lied in the back of the car with just a flimsy blanket to keep me warm when it was getting icy outside. I was hungry as I hadnt eaten all day and I just cursed my family who would have been tucked up in their warm beds after a good meal now and I swore to myself then that I would never do anything to help anyone of them again in the future!
The more cold and hungry I got, the more angry and bitter I felt!
