    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Bless her.

    Our dog has been to a different vet today in relation to her lump on her leg, she is returning on Wednesday to have a sample taken for testing (our normal vet will not be happy... but hey ho).

    The old vet (family friend) has seen it a number of times and is not worried, just putting it down to old age. DS2 too her today, but did not tell the vet that she is 13. I have said that OH needs to go on Wednesday as I don't want her having a procedure if she does not need it/will not benefit from it, but I also don't want her ill if we can avoid it.

    Today I saw a black baby pug. It was so gorgeous. I never thought I would want another dog.... but I am so tempted.
    Hope she is ok x
    I think I am piddled!

    If anyone is after a new petrol lawnmower, I can point you in the direction of a stonking deal. I went back to it 3 times, trying to talk myself out of buying it. But I already have 3 mowers, so could not really justify it.

    One for the front garden, one for the back, and another I bought because it is gorgeous and all red, and a proper old school engine. Oh, and it does stripes :D (but no good for every day use)
