    Oh that reminds me of yet another story about our cat who went to live in the flower shop. A few years after that incident, she eventually became old and frail and developed a tumour on her face which was obviously painful. The vet said it was probably malignant, so my parents took the horrible decision to have her put to sleep. Later that day, we were sat around our kitchen table feeling miserable. It was summer, and the back door was open, and suddenly a black Labrador walked through the door, went straight to where the cat’s bowl was still full of water, had a few laps of water, and walked out the door again. We had never seen this dog before, and never saw it again.

    Just read online it's a thing that cats often do before they die; just go off alone. Supposedly to limit the chances of being eaten by a predator while they are weak. F*ck it makes me sad just thinking about it. But, also kind of makes me smile; they live their whole lives pretending like they are living out in the wild. Totally pampered, yet they think they're tough, haha.

    Sorry that you didn't get a chance to say goodbye to him. That's a heartbreaking thought for any pet owner.

    Police searching for missing Nicola Bulley have found a body in the river.

    The mother-of two disappeared during a riverside dog walk in St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire three weeks ago, sparking a major search operation,

    Lancashire Police said they "sadly recovered a body" after they were called to the River Wyre near Rawcliffe Road at 11:35 GMT on Sunday.

    A statement said formal identification had not yet been carried out "so we are unable to say" if it was Ms Bulley.

    The death was currently being treated as "unexplained".

    "Nicola's family have been informed of developments and our thoughts are with them at this most difficult of times. We ask that their privacy is respected," a Lancashire Police said.

    Ms Bulley, who worked as a mortgage adviser, was last seen walking her springer spaniel Willow after dropping off her two daughters, aged six and nine, at school on 27 January.

    Her dog was found shortly after, along with her phone - still connected to a work conference call - on a bench by a steep riverbank.

    Police previously said they believed 45-year-old had gone into the river and that her disappearance was not suspicious.

    The body was found about a mile from where she was last seen in the small village of St Michael's on Wyre.

    I'm afraid not. 10 days now so not expecting to see him alive as he was on 5 medications twice a day and he wouldn't have survived long without them according to his cardiologist.
    Thanks for asking though, it's been a tough week but I'm sort of accepting he's gone now :emoticon-0101-sadsm
