I am up because .... my dog Minnie age 14 is very poorly and I don't think she is going to make it until the end of the week, she is fast asleep on her mat next to me and I don't want to disturb her, if I move she will wake up and follow me upstairs and even that has become difficult for her & she looks so peaceful I have not the heart to do it, so I will stay up until she wakes and moves.
thank you blackiequine, she is such a nice dog too ever so obedient, she is a rescue shar pei/staffy cross and this will be her year 10 with us, she must have been 3/4 years when we got her, so she has had a very good life once she came to us, first we said we would foster her to see how she got on with our other dog but after 45 mins into our fostering she had already won us over and we phoned and said we want to adopt her right now.
Losing our retriever broke my heart so badly I couldn't put myself through it again. I paraphrase but those that give us the most pleasure ultimately cause the most pain. I really felt that at the time. Sorry to digress from Ann's thread.
I wonder that sometimes, if everyone has been invited to a party and not me, but then again im not the partying type, though I do enjoy a good chin wag! some nights do seem busier than others, im up at this time tonight because ive been talking to my friend as she feeds her new baby, now im so excited I cant sleep!!
Craft, When I was looking up that book I came across one about her youngest daughter Beatrice. Her relationship with her sounds more like master slave than mother daughter according to the reviews I read.
