    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    I am up to chip in to help & I am sure others would too.
    Anyone else happy to chip in?
    Me too Beanie.

    Just had a thought - could we do a Go Fund Me page? I've never made one but this would enable people to give anonymously as much as they felt able and I think it could be done without Wannabe having to give away personal details to too many people.

    Count me in. It wont be much but just let me know how to pay. I cant bear the thought that someone so brave and caring cant afford to bring her friend home.We have the ashes from our 2 dogs that have gone to Rainbow bridge and the other 3 will come home as well when their time comes. they will go with us when we die. (hopefully not for some time yet.)
  • I'm so sorry about your dog Wannabe :(. I know losing a pet can be very distressing, especially after such a long time of having them in your life.

    Can you tell the DC the dog is in doggie heaven chasing balls and having a lovely time? That's what I used to tell my DC when our rabbits and guineapigs died.
