  Thank you for your messages.  Today I prepared all his things (so many of them) and gave him a shower, or he gave me one!  Tomorrow off he goes to his temporary home and early Monday I leave for London.  It will be good to get off the tiny island and also to see my partner. 
 JadeD I was happy to hear that dogs do great with you, it made me feel optimistic.  Yes, certainly, we will be Skyping often while I'm away.
