Cannot believe that it is 4 years tomorrow that we drove up to Lincoln to take a look at a big scruffy black terrier with a view to him joining our family, if we all got on! Ed and Polly instantly seemed to like each other and apart from him pulling my arm off whilst trying to walk him down the lane, I knew he was the one for us. I cannot say it has been an easy 4 years, although loads of fun but he has turned out to be a wonderful dog and even if he does not like GSDs or huskys, we can cope with that!!!! He does luvs the greyhounds, so at least we can go to one show every April!! After we lost Polly Collie Easter we took Ed on his first proper holiday to my mum and dads in Newquay and he took to the beach like he had always belonged on one and even made a couple of friends and even enjoyed his first proper swim i.e. not the forced one when he fell in the canal !! He is an absolute treasure and is friends with everyone - everyone loves him and he thrives on human company - we did worry that after Polly passing to the Bridge he may miss doggy company but to be honest he is not really bothered. We walk every morning at 5.30 with a lady and her collie called Ben and apart from having a piddling competition, Ed does not really bother with him. Who knows we may get him a girlfriend one day but for the moment I think he quite likes being an only child!! We luvs you Ed - have a lovely day xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope you are both doing o.k.! It will be 3 weeks for me on Tuesday after smoking for over 20 years. I decided to join the NHS club at work and I think it is helping being part of a group. I also look forward to my weekly carbon monoxide reading and knowing you have not had one! My first reading was 17, then 3 and last week was 1. I am using the clear patches and take it off before bed, although have had some cracking dreams!!! So far have managed not to kill anyone, atlhough have come close, but that is probably because I am a villa fan and the other half is Blues!! I am also putting £5 a day in the tin and I am like a little girl again, counting it all the time By Tuesday I will be up to £105!

First day of "stop smoking" today (after 20+ years) and I really thought it would be hell even with using the patches but I can't stop laughing at work and am seriously wondering if they have given me the wrong ones

Just had a minor panic - Dad said he would take Pol for a slow amble whilst I took Ed on a big one! Dad went out before me and Ed and we came back 2 hours later and they had not returned Was just about to go out looking when I had an idea and was right .... Pol had walked Dad round to my best mates pub and there they both were, Pol having cuddles off the customers and my Dad having a couple "on the house"! Must say, Ed was not impressed with being first back

We have snow to Andrea although it was promised at 3pm!! Still falling really thick and me, Harry, Ed & Pol have just come in from our first snow ball fight

So sorry to hear your news Alex

Morning - hope you have a better day at work I got up in the middle of the night and wrote a list of all the million things I have got to do including an away day in the middle of January for 70 physio's, which I only found out I was arranging through an email sent to someone else yesterday

Happy December everyone - we have the white frosty stuff here as well ... yuk

Morning - unknowingly lost 2 fence panels yesterday and amazingly no dogs Hope everyone has a good day. Very cold here this morning - had to wrap well up over my pj's this morning during the "early", earlier than normal walk!!

Morning all - think I must be joining the early birds but why I do not know

Hope you have a good time today and let me know how it goes please cause we are hoping to go to see Sarah and Marie in February

Nor me just back from a nice long very quiet walk with no other dogs for Ed to react to

Good luck for your exam today, hope it is not as difficult as you think
