My brother in law was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia at the same time as I was diagnosed with incurable but treatable metastatic cancer. It was estimated that he would need full time residential care within 4 years. My prognosis after gamma knife surgery to a brain & skull tumour was 6-18 months, possibly 2 years.
That was a year ago. My BIL died last May aged 70. He went from an emergency admission to hospital into respite care & then full time care in the first 3 months of last year, & by that time we were in lockdown. Difficult times.
I signed up for the Memory Walk before I needed a wheelchair, so wasn’t sure if it would count, but it is a workout, I was knackered after the first leg yesterday. No doubt it’ll get easier, looking forward to the next bit already. I’ll post photos & updates here so I don’t highjack another thread xx
Hope it stays nice for you tomorrow, but don't forget, you're English so mustn't grumble! Let Sula stay with us when you have a holiday, that is one fine looking dog!
She is incredibly beautiful - Would it be alright to say she looks like a mini Wookie? (A girl one obvs & in a really good way...)
Hi Tinalay, Good luck with your walk today and remember to let Sula ride for a bit! She has very small legs after all! Lol!
I hope you, Sula and Sarah enjoy a lovely dry pleasant walk!
Love Annette x
Morning all, yes, Sula’s been called a Wookie before & also Toto from the Wizard of Oz.
She has a lovely temperament & gets a lot of attention when we’re out. Little kids love her because of her size & she always wants to say hello. She likes the men though. I’ve been on he train to Glasgow with her & she’ll go & sit with someone else, always a man. She does the same on the London Underground again, always a man. They’re usually flattered & tell me how good they are with dogs but I suspect she’s a bit of a tart. xx
Tart = VERY good!!!
Sula RULES!!!!
Best of Luck today T & enjoy
I could also say that you all look the same age, that is ok for you and Sheila but not so good for Rachel lol. Sula is a little cutie, my Conan would love to romp around with Sula He is below
