    • Hi Potters! I hope you've all enjoyed a Very Happy Easter! enjoy the week ahead, the good and not so!
      I hope everyone is healthy and not feeling low in spirits. Meanwhile, get well soon, for now, love from us all at SPC ❤️

    Bless you so very much Ant. We will always miss her terribly and the amazing friendship shared, but it's wonderful thinking of her with her sister, who passed a year before their youngest son (ready to be there for him and his elder brother is how I've always viewed it).The friendship between her dear husband and T and I will definitely stay just as strong and we'll still enjoy each other's company a great deal as well as always talking about his darling wife, God bless her.
    I'm so very sorry to hear about your dear cat, Ant, but so very pleased to know he passed when the time was right for him rather than having to rely on a vet. Your last sentence 'we all know that the gift of love and connection ultimately comes with a heavy price tag' absolutely sums up love and loss of those so special in our hearts. Bless you so very much Ant, so much appreciated.Very well done with the potted £2.

    Very well done LMD!

    Very many thanks indeed MrsShazbat. Toilet training never comes easy with any animal, but all in good time, Duke will get there, just as he stopped barking at bedtime. I'm so very pleased you're so happy with Duke, and glad the training has gone well so far.Good for you with the Plum!

    Ah but they say slow and steady wins the race Tattypud, not a bad amount for the week.

    Oh fingers crossed indeed for DS and his family Siju! I do hope they're fortunate in their offer being accepted! 🤗Very well done with your potting!

    • Have a really good week ahead folks and enjoy tomorrow's weather!

    found 1p roadkill in a car park so it’s gone in the pot. @AntoMac very sorry to hear about your cat. Mine passed 18 months ago at the age of 18, luckily at home held in my arms as she slipped away so she knew she was loved from first to last. I still sometimes “hear” her miaow 😢

    @Sue-UU I am so incredibly sorry to hear about your dear friend, but at least she will be reunited her sons. May the rest of you take comfort that she is no longer in pain and you are able to look back on all the good times you had together.

    @AntoMac What sad news. I maintain that there will be many furry friends waiting for me when my time comes, and hopefully you can remember the fluffy cuddles you had together.

    It barely seems right to celebrate the £4 which I've potted after our time away for Easter, but it's been potted.
