Hope everyone has had a wonderful day. It’s been very relaxing here thank goodness. Mr SA enjoyed his slow cooked beef but asked about the white things that looked a bit like chips but didn’t taste like them. Roast parsnips 🤣
The older cat seems to be improving thankfully. She’s able to come downstairs now without help which is progress from yesterday. These older fur babies are a worry 😞 dog is nearly 14 and cat nearly 16.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
Our fur babies do worry us especially as they age. We sadly lost our dog in the summer he was 14 but didn’t look or act it, took us completely by surprise, we thought we had about another year with him. Our neighbours cat is 21, still plodding along slowly and stays indoors now. Hoping your cat improves an it’s just a little wobble like the rest of us as we age.:j Debtfree and and staying that way.:j3-6 month emergency fund, No.61 £140.002

I’m sorry to hear about your dog @amber03. We had a cat who lived to be 21. Our dog is a Jack Russell so hoping she goes on a bit longer🤞My friend’s JR was approx 19 when he passed.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
