    Afternoon all,

    Very cold here today, will have to start wearing tights if it keeps getting colder.

    Knitting this morning, enjoy the chat just as much as the knitting!

    Salmon for dinner, with green beans and wedges, not sure what else yet, like at least 2 veg.

    Welcome to newbies, you will like it here.

    Lyn, hope that by now you have had a good report on Docky, if not gentle huge for you all.

    Have to have a loose tooth removed before my hip operation, not sure what to do to fill the gap, which will be right in the front, hoping that when he sees it dentist will just use some kind of glue to keep it where it is! I can dream cant I??

    Stay warm and safe everybody

  • The Vetty person says that Docky is 100% physically fit, everything working 100% but he has senility poor old lad. There are things that can help and we've got 10 days worth of the first to try, if that doesn't work we'll work our way through them until we find one that does. Vet says they are very effective. He's taking bloods on Friday morning to make certain all the internal organs are fully functioning as that could cause similar problems if they aren't, again it's treatable. Thank you all, each and every one of you for your support and love, given freely and so very much appreciated by us. You are all pretty amazing you know that? Love and hugs Lyn xxx.

    Popped to see my dad this morning. Bless him, he has quite an active social life but it is starting to show that he lives alone. I don't want to offend anyone on here but in my experience people who live alone, when they meet someone they seem to have to make up for not chatting to anyone at home and rattle on about anything just for the sake of talking!
    My Auntie is much the same though she doesn't get out much but she tells me the same things over and over again. I think she must forget that she's told me before. I really do have to stifle the yawns but at least your Dad, like my Auntie is keeping the speaking part of the brain active.

    My Mom spent the last few years avoiding people who she didn't like (which was most people) and her speech is severely limited now.

    This is the case with Molly Doggy and makes for an interesting but fun time. So pleased for you xxx
    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.

    Mrs LW I'm so glad the vet has given Docky some new medication to try. Our dog went senile very quickly, she didn't know what she wanted, in and out, up and down. We decided to have her put to sleep as she wasn't the dog we knew and I was concerned that she would snap at someone (we had a lot of young children in and out of the house).

    Docky has certainly got wonderful owners, hope you see an improvement soon.

    DD made cottage pie (minus the mash for me) and it was really rather tasty, she can cook again!

    The weather has been awful this afternoon, torrential rain and windy, glad I don't have to go anywhere!

    Take care. XX
  • So glad that it was good news MrsL :T
    Big slurpies to Docky xx
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
