Moving on

Firstly thank you for your nice comments and support following our loss of Ben. Things are very strange here without him and I am still prone to bursting into tears but I know it will get easier. We had a card from the vet today which really made me blub the words were so nice.

Hopefully once this week is out of the way things will improve for us. We have had 2 years of uncertainty with one thing or another and this week seems to have been the week for it all to come to a head!

Russ' job is far from out of the woods but there is less uncertainty there at last :D Russ will be working hard - not that he wasnt before!! but you don't mind when it is not taken for granted and benefits the company and not just used for lining someone else's pocket!!!

A dear neghbour of ours passed away last week. Russ has known her all his life and we rented her garage. It seems very strange not parking there and another change this week for me to get used to - my head hasn't quite got there yet (no surprise there!)

Amelia is doing well. She is now rolling and can move backwards. She can sit up on her own but mainly wants to stand! I think we will be making things secure for a moving little miss very very soon! I am so glad we have her in our lives she makes everyday worth it and everything else seem unimportant IYKWIM. This was her last night. Daddy decided she needed to wear a head garment - poor child lol.

RIP Sporting Bene

I'm sorry to appear with a sad post but we had to make the difficult decision to have Ben put to sleep this evening. We are both completely devastated but deep down we know it was the correct decision for him.

Over the last 12 months his back legs have deteriorated and in early may we were told it was a neurological problem and he was given tablets. Unfortunately these did not help in the way the vet had hoped and we did not want to prolong any suffering.

He was loyal loving dog who brought us nothing but happiness since we adopted him and he along with his brother left very large paw prints on our hearts. He loved Amelia and was very protective of her over these last few months despite his failing health and never showed an aggresive side in all the time we had him.

Sleep well Benny Boy we will never forget you.

Arrrrggghhh..

.... my blog background has disappeared and I don't have time to sort it out!!!
