In my shredder :rotfl:

No seriously at home I am the worst when it comes to filing (luckily doesn't apply to my work persona). I am intending to change this by the end of the summer. Step 1. collect it all in one place (I will let you know what step 2 is after I have done the step 1 and figured out what the step 2 should be). I should have only kept in the last move those papers that I really do need to keep so here hopes that it is not quite as mahoosive task as I fear.

I know what you mean Beanie ..... and Marru, we still have paperwork that has moved with us 4 times since 2001 :eek: :eek: :eek:

Off to bed now folks - night night

For me Beanie,paper work is a WIP, when we moved it ment we could by a cupboard, all the papers are now in there, out of site, I then got some plastic folder's, stuck lable's on 'em, ie: car insurance, instuction book's, work certifiect's and when I get some time and energy I take one of the carry bag's out of the cupboard and sort in to the file's and then shread any that I no longer have to keep.

Sorry that I haven't been on here today yet, but today has been a bad day ............. though it could have been much worse

Mr 3Dogs got up at 7 am to get ready for lift over to start on car but shouted me through to living room about 8 am yelling that something was wrong with Bonnie, our oldest. she was having difficulty walking, or standing, toppling to the right ....... looked like she'd had a stroke or something similar, but she was back to 'normal' after about 5 minutes or so. I rang the vets when they opened and they said to bring her straight down, so I borrowed my friends car again, and took her there

The vet checked her over - her heart beat was also VERY fast, and the vet thought that the heart was pumping fast to compensate for a fault there somewhere, though the 'stroke' could be a tumour, an infection from her very bad teeth getting to her heart, diabitis, or a number of other things. He recommended blood tests, so an hour and a half later, the results showed high on liver, high on the one which would be her arthritis and slightly high on one relating to heart

While I was waiting, I had spoke to Mr 3Dogs on the phone and he felt that we perhaps shouldn't put her through anything else and have her put her to sleep, which I told the vet but her felt that she should be given the chance of some tablets for her heart, which the receptionist told me are very good and she may be leaping around again on them, so I agreed

Brought her home, with her two little pink bandages on her front legs making her look like she'd just come from the gym, and she has slept most of the time since, though she has run out into the garden a couple of times with the others, barking with them at the kids out the back. She seems ok but, understandably, subdued

I fed them all at 4 pm, just before Mr 3Dogs came back from working on the car, and gave Bonnie a tablet straight away afterwards, hidden in a few bits of Spam from one of my free tins from coupons on fb

Bonnie is 15 now and we have seen her age a lot over the past year or so, and we have been watching her closely as she showed more and more signs of aging, waiting for the moment when the decision would have to be made .... and that moment seems to be very close now Hopefully, these tablets will give her a few more months or even more time, but we will not let her suffer. I remember a friend saying to me once, when another of our dogs was very ill, that we all have to be careful that we are keeping our dogs alive for their benefit and not for ours
