    Gonna whack it on for an hour at home time so babies come into warm.
    So all holiday clothes in the td and strewn around the house.
    Honey and mustard chicken with rice and hm garlic bread for tea.
    Need to rustle up some snacks for after school.
    may do some twinks hob nobs.
    Bit fed up of cake:eek:

    Finding it tough going on my ou course, mainly the discipline of getting on with it and not procrastinating lol.
    Probably be putting a fair bit of overtime this week as the holiday season is creeping upon us and in retail it kicks off now.

    Morning all,

    Thanks so much for the good wishes re little dog, its been a bit of a horrible weekend, she was in the vets on a drip all day sat, we collected her sat evening, she seemed comfortable and had some chicken and water, sunday we woke up to find her very ill her poor eyes and ears had gone yellow, we rushed her back to the vet who took her in and said that she would phone us in a couple of hours once she had a good look at her.

    She phoned back and told us we were going to have to think about putting her down as it would be kinder, but she just wanted to scan her liver to see what was going on with it, if it had a huge lump then we would know we were doing the right thing.

    We chatted as a family and decided that we did not want her to suffer and this would be the kindest thing. The vet then phoned and told us that her liver was clear and did we want to try her on some different meds for 24 hours to see of it helped her, I had a long chat with the vet and asked her what she would do if it was her dog (as I did not want little dog suffering) and the vet said she would try it, so we did I have just phoned and spoken to the receptionist who told me she had had a comfortable night and I am just waiting for the vet to call me back.

    DD OH and I were all so upset really sobbing Little dog is part of this family and we would hate to lose her.

    Anyway sorry for going on, I thought you might like to know xx

    So sorry my friend - prayers for little dog - we do love them so and they know it xx
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Redruby I'll send all the healing energy I can muster for Little Dog.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Thanks to everyone for being so welcoming!

    Red Ruby - I'm so sorry to hear about your little dog. My pets are like little people to me and it reminds me a lot of when our wee dog passed away. They are so special. Take care and much love to you and all your family.

    Evening all,

    Thanks you all so much for the thoughts re little dog, they really do mean the world, I spoke to the vet at tea time and Little dog has had a slightly better day, she managed to keep a tiny bit of food down and has been for a few short walks around the vets garden, she has also had a poo and been weeing, she had not weed or kept anything down for 2 days before.

    She is by no means out of the woods but its a step in the right direction, she is being kept in overnight again and we will see what she is like in the morning.

    They really do become part of the family dont they ? and have a special place in our hearts.

    Thanks again and keep thinking good thoughts for her xx
