  • Hi 23rd spiral
    welcome to the lurking!
    I too have a little thing for stationary but keeping that one quiet
    sorting out my toiletry stash is my first challenge!
  • .............and the bad news keeps on coming.........


    I am sorry to report that today we lost our brave Dobey. DH couldn't let her suffer any longer as she was unable to stand this morning. Unfortunately as I was at work he had to go through it himself. She was very poorly as vet (a lovely girl who, the first time she saw our dog wanted to breed her!) said she went very quickly with the same amount they use for a small cat.

    Family are distraught, especially DS2 who is only six months older than she was. We got her aged 18 months as a rescue dog but have been lucky to have had 4 1/2 years with her. It's come as such a shock as it's all happened so quickly.

    DH couldn't praise the vets enough as they were just wonderful. So I would just like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Haven Veterinary Services in Great Yarmouth, they made an awful job for DH a lot more easier.

    Finding it hard to keep strong for DH after all that's happened over the last three months but there are people who've been through worse.

    Doesn't seem quite right but anyway NSD 8 today.
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:

    Oh LfV my thoughts are with you! Losing a pooch is awful, just awful.

    Big hugs LFV - it's terrible when you lose a pet, beacuse they aren't just a pet, they are part of the family. But if she was suffering, it was the kindest thing you could possibly do for her. xxx
