Happy Birthday Steph

My wisteria is flowering I'm very pleased as I only put it in last year. I'm training it to grow across the pergola and its doing well Done loads of tidying in the garden today - took out the old/rotting wooden planter, removed the buddliea that had seeded itself there, sifted through the earth and got out a bucketful of gravel which is now in the side of the patio. Moved the bench and table & chairs to the other side of the patio, potted the fuschia's my parents gave me and filled up the dogs paddling pool

Belated Birthday Wishes

Sorry I missed this before but very glad Murf is ok and wishing him a speedy recovery

Taffy Gorgeous, snuggly, snoozy boy

They are the perfect match

Thanks everyone I've got the patches from the nurse, which have helped enormously but I think in the end, I just got myself so focused that I set a date and stopped. I have tried to change bits of my routine, avoiding all the times when I would be smoking and I have a widget on my laptop and work PC which shows the days/hours/minutes since I gave up and also how much money I have saved. Part of the reason to give up was the cost, which is a stupid amount to be burning away each week, let alone the impact on my health. I have been treating myself to one new nail polish a week from the Spa at work

I gave up smoking Apart from a slight blip the day Sir H left us, I have gone from 20 a-day to none a day I've not been posting much lately as sitting down with the laptop was one of the times I'd smoke the most, so I'm trying to break habits. I have been determined not to put on any weight so I've been doing loads of walking with the dogs, power-walking at least 2 miles each evening Since I last bought cigarettes I have saved over £120 So, although I'm not posting much, I am popping in now and then and thinking of everyone, especially poorly pets and Fugee's

Oh no! Helen, I am so, so sorry Sleep tight Cassie Piglet You were a very special girl

Morning Worked on the bar last night, finished at 3am, went to bed at 3.30am, got up at 7.30am ad then met a friend from work and took the dogs for our 4 mile 'power' walk. Feeling a bit knackered now

Jack & Cherry Feeling rather teary this morning. Suppose its the first morning since Sir H left that I've not been rushing around, getting ready for work and just had time to sit. I don't half miss Sir H Raining here, suits me today

Morning, think the lack of sleep over the last few days caught up with me - fell asleep on the sofa last night, woke up at 3am and went up to bed and only woke up half an hour ago

Thanks for listening to me too, Snow Wiggle is still worrying about me and keeps checking I'm ok. Sofy is snoring loudly from the other end of the sofa. I'm just finding it so quiet without Sir H. Strange how an old boy who did so little can leave such a huge space..... for everyone else who's feeling sad

I honestly don't think I could have wished for a more peaceful passing for Sir H. We stopped at Maude Heath where he had a little potter about, then he lay down and I sat next to Sir H and cuddled him. He sniffed out the treats in my bag and had a little snack At the vets, Sir H flopped down in the consulting room, so I sat on the floor with him. He didn't struggle and left me peacefully, with me telling him how much I loved him and to go find Dolly and Bumpy. Sleep peacefully my wonderful, special, grump old man

Wiggle, Sofy and I are home again

Thank you We're leaving now, to go to the vets via Maude Heath so Sir H can visit the fields one last time...

Thank you for all the kind words Sir H slept on his blankie next to my bed last night and has just had breakfast with han and mini sossijes. It breaks my heart to see my noble old man wobble so much - his body just can't support him any more, even though his mind is as sharp as ever I'm going to come home from work at lunchtime and then we'll stop at Maude Heath on the way to the vets for one last potter and roll in the grass

My wonderful old man, kind hearted, gentle, grumpy, cuddly Sir H will be leaving for the Bridge tomorrow. He's not been doing so well and I want to let him have some dignity.... Please wish my special boy a peaceful passin......

Collies R Best RMF: Don't usually get in here during work and hate to ask when its such a sad day for Sue & Lucy and Steph & Nala, but could really do with some good thoughts for Sir H. He's not had a good weekend, as well as being more wobbly than usual, his lump on his poorly leg has got bigger and is looking sore and bleeding. Added to that, he's had bad diorreah so we're off to the vets at 5pm this evening

I really am sorry Sleep peacefull, beautiful Lucy :lily

Morning, back to work. Sue Greysmum, wishing Lucy a peaceful journey Thinking of Steph and Nala

Happy Birthday
