Just a quick update to let you know im still hanging on here , just not feeling very sociable at the moment , im missing my dogs so much (yes they have got excellent homes and ive already been told they are settling well) which is a great relief for me ! but i still miss them so much and its so quiet. Health wise i seem to be doing ok (touch wood) My b.p. is way down and that 'zombie' feeling has passed , although the tablets have definately slowed me down and i want to sleep a lot more now . Thanks to all who have pm'd me and asked after me 'what a great bunch you are'  No doubt i will start to post again in a while , then you 'll wish i was quiet again !  Take care everyone !  |

Remember we are always thinking of you  I can relate to your dogs; we lost our dog over the weekend and I am not dealing with it very well. I am glad yours are in loving homes. We miss you and hope things are getting better for you. |

 It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived. |
