    My condolences too BB. At 45 years old your friend should have been looking forward to many happy years. One day you'll remember the happy times and hold them dear to you.

    BB sorry to hear your sad news, too young to be taken.

    Thanks for all the advice for my hyperactive terrier, can't have a dog flap as Labrador would get stuck. Think I just need to be consistent with discipline, just wish dh would do the same.
