    Cheers missus, pleased :) :beer:
    Good evening,

    Firstly before I start, please let me know if I upset anyone and I'll delete my post.
    My dear, dear sweet baby 11 year old lab princess poppy is due to be put to sleep tomorrow:( to say I am devastated is in understatement. She has severe arthritis in her back leg. The vet has said that she is in pain (they actually said its one of the worst cases they have seen) but she has been on tramadol, metacam and ibuprofen. I just want outside opinions on whether I am doing "the right thing". While all these pain killers are helping her to some extent, she seems to be permanently sedated.
    Sorry to ramble I am just so upset, I have never had to make a decision like this before and it just hurts so much. What if I make the wrong decision?
    :( Oh bless you, other people have put it much better, its so so hard to let go, but you know the right thing to do. Make tonight so special for both of you.

    Enterprise :j. Welcome home. Hope you've had a fabulous time, and now you've come back to this carpy cold weather :cool:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Question?

    You know that storm site someone told us about to watch the storms here in UK?

    Is there an equivalent one for Orlando please? My ds3 and his dgf are in Davenport. They fly home tomorrow if they're lucky but I just wanted to keep an eye on the weather. They are flying to New York tomorrow from Orlando.

    Thanks if you can help xx

    I didn't mean to "offload" my head is telling me it's right, but my heart is saying 'what if' and it just hurts so much, also the fact I am making the decision on behalf of the whole family:(:(
    Tomorrow we are going to spend the morning in Richmond park and then take her for a burger before the dreaded afternoon

    Oh dear :( I feel for you
    This is tough, you must do as your head is telling you, in your heart you know you have to let her go.
    It is breaking you just seeing her each day dazed and not your dear little princess how you once knew her. She needs to sleep.
    Tomorrow have your tissues take a deep breath and try to be brave. x :A

    AND I have three loads of washing to dry tomorrow!

    Didn't even know this temperature existed for the last couple of weeks, didn't even get below 20 degrees at night!

    Do you mean the lightning one? Think that is worldwide but not sure if it covers storms

    Cheaky!!

    Swore I wouldn't be on the tab much on holiday and I wasn't, actually inter-acted with others instead :D

    I will eventually catch up, I shall arrange a 6 month internet outage for you :p

    That said, first time I played on holiday I made about a couple of moves and one I had been struggling on for a while literally solved itself :rotfl::rotfl:
