Just seen the pictures of Badger in Valgrays facebook. What a gorgeous wee boy, especially with his hair cut. He looks really happy. The rescue my two came from say they have no problem rehoming old dogs. It is the younger, lively ones that are more difficult to place. They do assess them in a foster home and they are not rehomed until they are ready. They also assess the adopters very carefully and don't rehome on a first come, first served basis, They match dogs to their new families very successfully. I hope you had an uneventful journey home, Eve, and are not too tired. No wonder my bedding plants a re struggling this year. The temperature was 5'6 at 6o'clock this morning and it is now 22 degrees. The cold nights can't be good for them.

Hi folks I have been reading back. Thanks for the good wishes. Jim's drain is in for another 5weeks but at the end of July he starts chemo as the fluid collecting is probably connected to the spots in his lungs which are now changing. But the drainage has stopped which can only be good. He is in a lot of pain from the drain so is on morphine. We were at Blair Atholl for the weekend. W had quite a big room at the hotel for a change. This one had room for a big couch. I woke up at 5am on Sunday morning to see JIm standing at my side of the bed. I asked him what he was doing, thinking he was sleepwalking or something.. He replied he could not find Cleo. Not many places in a hotel room to lose a bog dog. She had been sleeping on the floor at his side of the bed. As he said her name we heard her tail thumping but still no sign of her. The more we said her name the more the tail thumped. Was she under the bed? Yes she was, stretched out on her side in a space the height of her so she could not turn round and could not get herself out. JIm had to reach under and grab her front paws and her collar and pull her out. How on earth she got under there I do not know. I do remember feeling three thumps on the bed during the night but thought Murphy, who was sleeping on the floor at the bottom of the bed , was dreaming and hitting the bed with his paws. as he ran in his dream. That must have been when she went under , but why? She will not reach under a chair for her toy or squeeze through a small space. I think she must have done it in her sleep.

the rescue have shaved badger. he looks so much smaller and young. hes reserved. so many people wanting an old dog be safe out there! xxx

Blackmagic, hope Jim continues to do well and his pain subsides. Your dog sounds as daft as mine! Owl..I screenshot the messages and sent them on WhatsApp to Yantan but I could try and teach you how to upload on a forum...one day when we both have time. Bless little badger Jazz, turning Voice mail off is easy, on 02 you just dial a 4 digit number and that's it, Google your provider and turn off voicemail and it should come up, same for changing the colours...YouTube has literally everything now I am being referred to the hospital about my wrist, I just have to put up with it for now... bloody hurts!
