    Sorry to hear that Christmas didn't quite go as planned, but I suppose Winter illnesses are one of those annoying things which crop up in the colder months & I know how hard you try to steer clear of them. How lovely to read that you have adopted another dog! I am not a doggy person, but I genuinely found myself smiling when I read your news as it does feel special being able to give a good home to a new fur friend. I didn't know that adopting from Romania was even a thing, so I learned something too.
