I've only just seen this. I'm so very sorry, it's so hard to lose them

Thank you all Another year older, I really must work on the wiser bit

Heacham Beaches and Hunstanton beaches in Norfolk as are many down that bit of coast We went to both of them the week before last and there were lots of happy dogs around

If it's of any interest I've set up a facebook group 'Say No to Circus Elephants' just trying to spread the word to as many people as possible that it isn't acceptable. The Great British Circus seem to believe the British public want to see performing elephants, so it's up to the British public to persuade the Circus that it IS NOT wanted http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=132444725363

No help from me I'm afraid. Like all the rest of my paperwork it's a mess and I struggle to find anything. I don't make New Year resolutions but I've unofficially decided that this is the year when I get everything organised although I suspect that this time next year it will be just as bad.

So sorry Run free Duke

Thinking of you and hoping that Susie soon makes a full recovery

Strangely round where we are now what we have the most of are rescues Of the eight houses in the bit I live 6 of them have dogs, a rescue Goldie, a rescue Yorkie, a rescue cross breeed, a rescue JRT and a rescue cross breed ( same house ), a westie (not a rescue) and us with Jasper. Out on walks we meet two trailhounds, an English Setter, a labrador, a collie/corgi cross, all rescues. We also meet a rescue Pyrenean/Shar Pei cross who is the most adorable great lump of fur and has become Jas's girlfriend. They match each other beautifully for madness and clumsiness, knocking each other into rivers and sending their owners flying We do meet a few non rescues, an Irish Setter, an EBT, four poodles, a GSD and 2 CKCS. We also see two Newfoundlands and an Akita, these are also rescues but sadly none of them are dog friendly so they don't get to join in the walks with all the others. Edited to add - there doesn't seem to be any one particular popular breed round here it's a real mixture. Talking to people though many aren't keen on GSD's so our friendly walks may not be so friendly when I get another GSD

Thinking of you

Lots of positive thoughts on the way to you and Max

I've got an Acer 5315 and I love it, although I don't use it for anything clever just for surfing the Net. I think it would do lots of things other than that if I tried I rarely use to desktop PC now it's so much easier to sit in the chair, in front of the tele, with the laptop on my lap

I'd kind of like to buy Sealand, somewhere totally cut off from unwanted visitors would be perfect sometimes ( and hell other times ) It would certainly have suited me over the last few months when I have felt totally antisocial. As for the title, definately not interested in that. Pete will inherit one eventually but there's no way I'd use it. Mind, if I had seen the offer early enough I can think of one or two of my friends that would have been amused by having it.

Welcome back Helen Lucky you getting a job that combines your love of animals with the outdoors. Lucky you with a brand new puppy as well, they all need good homes wherever they come from

I'm so sorry Kazz, you and Dave are in my thoughts Run free Mandy, you're in very good company

When Ailis died she stayed around the house for a while, I was a bit concerned about this and asked Marie ( Vashti) to do a reading for me. She told me that the reason Ailis was still there was because she had been so happy with me, she also told me one or two things about Ailis that no one else could have known. It brought me a lot of comfort. Wherever Rosie is she will want you to be well and happy and I'm sure she'll be watching over you to make sure you are looking after yourself.

I've just said goodnight to Bruin. He's always been one of the dogs I've never said much about but it didn't mean I loved him any less than the others. He was already an old dog when I got him, although I've no real idea how old I suspect he may well have seen 14 or 15 birthdays altogether. In the 5 and a bit years I've had him he's almost always had a really bad skin condition and been more or less permanently on steroids. Over the last few weeks he has become increasingly poorly with his body just generally just packing up, after a long chat with the Vet we decided his quality of life was no longer good enough. I don't think he ever really recovered from losing Ailis and then Blythe, he loved both girls, tonight he's gone to the Bridge to join them. Run free my darling, funny Bruin, free from itches and stomach upsets, enjoy the sunshine with your girls.

Have fun at the Bridge

Run free Yena
