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.

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.

So sorry OBS - I wept buckets when I had to put my Tia down - I looked after her when my friend was in hospital and when my friend died I kept Tia. She was a joy, although it did put Luna’s nose out!!

Hi All, Thanks for your commiserations re my dog. Our animals are so important to those of us who live with them. I will wait a few weeks and consider what to do next. I had the conversation last year with my son with what i would do once old Matilda was gone - we basically agreed I could take on a new one ( or two) and he would be happy to inherit them when it came to my time. Proviso was they have to be staffies and not greyhounds( last two rescue dogs I had before the staffies were greyhounds) I loved them but he found them a bit too laid back and sometimes neurotic. I always said I went fromthe sublime to the ridiculous when the greyhounds died and I took on staffies ( who lets face it are slightly comical).

Anyway, onwards and upwards, and many thanks again for your thoughts.

I'd make a good adoptee I think. Not fully house trained but I am using really posh nappies to deal with my little emergencies. Obviously I would use your Guardian as a puppy pad and you could enjoy the pleasures a Daily Mail brings.

In fact including me thats two daily males !

Angie told me doggies at the end Go Over the Rainbow Bridge, I would like to think yours are all waving at you from up there.

I bet there are a lot of staffies having a good groom in the hope of being picked by you.

Hope you can settle in a while although I am sure it will be very hard. Xxxxxx
