    Have you got the new arrival yet ?

    It will never replace the one you had to say goodbye to , but something to cherish for years to come :)

    I went years without considering pets because it's hard letting go but genuinely believe I was mistaken

    I was given a cat (or my brother gave it to my daughter) and we got a dog a while back and I wish I'd done it earlier.

    When we had to make the decision to say goodbye to Jasper ( My Avatar ) It was so so difficult . You know you are doing what's best for them , and , as I said , the memories last :)

    When Toby goes , that will be a whole different ball game .

    PM me if you want to talk about him .

    Seriously feel for you there mate

    It's one thing losing a pet and it's 10x worse consoling a loved one.

    Had to have my dog put to sleep due to old age and cancer a few years ago. It was one of the worst things I ever had to do. and I cried like a baby.
    Even though it was for the best, it doesn't make it any easier. My heart goes out to anyone who has to go through it.

    I was gutted when we had to put our two cats to sleep years ago but it's a personal grief that you can process. Worse was when I had to tell my son that his cat had died. The cat was only 3 years old and it was very sudden, I just found him curled up amongst some teddy bears, he'd found somewhere warm and cosy to die. They had a very strong bond. The cat was a bit loopy and none of us could get near to him apart from my son who could just walk up to him and pick him up. The cat would wait at the bottom of the stairs around bedtime every night and follow my son up the stairs to sleep on his bed. My son pretty much knew something terrible had happened to his cat and had a complete meltdown when I told him that he had died. I didn't even particularly like the cat but it was an utterly ****ing heartbreaking experience.

    I had 4 cats growing up and was a complete mess when each of them died, but particularly the last one to go. She was in her early 20s and I had grown up with her. Put me off getting pets for a while but wanted a dog as hadn’t had one since my early teens. Got him earlier this year and can’t really remember what it was like not having him around now

    Been making a list of places I want to visit in Normandy.

    Plan so far is get to Caen. Visit Pegasus bridge.

    Drive to where I’m staying via sword beach. See the Canadian memorial. Get drunk and eat tasty food first night. Saturday go to arrowmanche see gold and Juno beaches and the left overs of the floating harbour.

    Sunday, Omaha beach then upto the place from band of brothers where Richard winters took the gun emplacement.

    That woman is grotesque. She’s that desperate for attention she has no boundaries whatsoever, she could be the definition of a bottom feeder.

    Watched a film with the 2 oldest, they are usually doing their own thing so a rarity.
