Brodies Mum

God speed Dolly. have fun at the bridge. So sorry Wendy. like everyone else I don't know what to say. It seems that Dolly chose to go surrounded, by all the family she loved, quietly slipping away, no fuss but just knowing how much you all loved her.

Sending Dolly lots of healing and calming thoughts. Hopefully she will get loads of rest at home and each day will get her stronger. If a girls got to go through what she has been through, might as well have the photos to show everyone when she is feeling better. Lots of to you all. So glad she is back home safely. Alison

Great news for you to have heard that all is well so far. Sending lots of healing thoughts for Dolly.

Sending lots of good thoughts for Dolly and will be thinking of you both tomorrow.

God Speed Barney. So sorry that this sad time was een more stressful for you. Barney knew he was loved and if he could he would be giving you his thanks. to you all. Alison

God speed Cosmic cat. So sorry to read this posting. Time will help the emptiness you feel in your heart now, but Cosmic Cat will always hold a place there. Thinking of you

God Speed Mango, may your next life be a happier and easier one. So sorry Sam, she would have passed over knowing how much she was loved. It sounds as if you were destined to meet to help each other and share your love together. ALison

I have been over to wiccs today and Princess Possum seems to have made herself very much at home. She has moved out of the pink bed as people were obviously not giving her enough attention, (this new servant could have placed it in a prime positon, not in the old fireplace) and she is now laid in the middle of the three seater couch, so her minions can stroke her whichever seat they choose. She is already partial to strawberry yoghurt digestives, and has the bigger dogs under her thumb "Whoops should read spell". All in all it seems she is happy sureveying her new kingdom and lapping up all the attention. P.S. and I don't normally take to little dogs but ""she is serioudsly cute"

I Luffs a story with a happy ending. Have a wonderful time together

God Speed Ben, have fun at the Bridge to all his family

Get Well soon Suka, and lots of positive thoughts being sent your way.

Thinking of you. I too have been there, my Mum develped Alzheimers at 59 and died age 70. But life waas a roller coaster with different health issues. My Mum had to go into hospital and need IV antibiotics, and they had to tie her hands to the bed so she wouldn't rip out her drip. That was when I decided NO MORE. She recovered well and after 9 years of managing her at home we had to admit defeat and allow her to go in a nursing home. THe first question they asked me was did she want the flu and pneumonia jab. They must have found me harsh as I said no, that will be probably be her only escape. My philosophy evenutally was quality rather than quantity. No one can help you make decisions but want you to know that there are loads of people out there who are or have faced similar situations to the one you are in. Shout rant and rave when the going gets tough, we will be here to give you support. In the meantime sending lots of healing calm thoughts for your Dad too. ALison

for you and Dolly today, with lots of positive thoughts.

Having met Harri's brother I am not surprised. Percy rules the roost at Wiccaweys. Smallest dog in the place and the most trouble

Sending lots of healing thoughts, and also good wishes for her daughter. She must be beside herself trying to get to South Africa.

No words sorry Wendy, just tears too. I so feel your pain when you write. Frodo was a special boy and will always remain in your heart. He will guide you through this dreadful time. The love you all had is still around you. I will look forward to seeing your video. Alison

I am certain that if your grandfather refuses to have help, they won't even visit him. You need to ensure that he knows how low you are and lay it on the line that he must accept what is offered until he is able to cope on his own. Sometimes the elderley will just expect family to do everything and when you are working full time, it is no wonder that you feel so bad. If you get sick, you will not be able to help, so you must ensure that he gets the help he needs from Social services, district nurses etc. Once this has been set in motion, your visits to him will be pleasurable and the responsibility will be another load lifted from your shoulders. Workwise, just hang on in there, this guy sounds rather sad. Sending you and hoping things calm down soon Alison

Thinking of you all and wishing lots of good thoughts Dolly's way.

Two years ago today we lost our beautiful blue merle collie Brodie, he was my soul dog and even as I type the tears are there. My daughter found some old disposable cameras and took them to be develped and there were two photos of him looking as he did, full of fun. We miss you fella.

Sending lots of good thoughts for Ollie and hoping that it won't be too long of a day for you, until he is back home. Alison

God Speed Frodo, have fun at the bridge. So sorry Wendy and family, it must have been a terrible shock. to you all. Alison

God Speed Milly. Have fun at the bridge. Young and new again. So sorry yena, it is so hard when they have to go. Alison

God Speed Twiggy, have fun at the Bridge. to her family and all that loved her.

Same here Kathy, if you can't get hold of Mrs Mop, shout at me. I coped for 8 years with my mum who had alzheimers, with my Dad at their home and then we had to let her go into a nursing home. It was heartbreaking but we went reguarly to see her. I am a past master at coming out with my boxing gloves on. If you don't shout no one else will. for you and Ray ,both of you at times must feel very frightened. Someone once gave me some very good advice. " You can only worry about things that you can change, if you can't change it you have to go with the flow". Those words have got me through several traumas in my life." Thinking of you both. Alison

Wispa is a very lucky young lady. Have lots of fun together ALison
