I know that started this brilliant idea so I wanted to carry it on for her and as the forum has become a little gloomy recently as we face loosing them both soon.
So
1. daloni and dizzie outlasted their prognosis by years and I am sure proved that you can have quality of life despite doctors best guesses and we all benefited from knowing them on here.
2. I just got back from a fabulous holiday in Galicia, northern Spain. I walked more than I have for months (chemo pushed me into a wheelchair) the food and wine was fab and I met old friends and laughed a lot.
3. Macmillan have admitted that their upgrade has been a bit sh*t and are working on improving it. Hurrah for Macmillan who have admitted it didn't go well. How many organisations actually come out and say that.
I don't like to think that newbies think that we are a miserable lot, what struck me on here when I came was how much joy, laughter and living went on despite cancer.

Hi Stuart the keipies are magnificent and I did not realise how large they are until standing beside them, wonderful holiday.
All the best Ulls
Hope the rescue staffies work out for you. We have friends who looked after quite a few old staffies - several who had been used for fighting. 'Red' was covered in scars from his ordeal and although something clicked in his brain when he saw a cat, he was the biggest softie ever and had 8 happy years with our friends, who then promptly adopted another. I can well see how you would quickly miss having one around. All the best OBS - Rainie x
