Yay hello you, have thought about you alot lately, we have a 14 year old boy, it was a 12 month diploma followed by a degree .... yep life is good, doing loads and loads, plus had a pension which I knew nothing about so that was a bonus in the pay lol

I must be overly mature then completing at 60, but your never too old its lovely to know you still have the old grey matter working lol

Congratulations on all your qualifications and sorry to hear about your cats but as you say they remained together in life and death.

Its great to see you back.
awwwww thats nice, dogs are fine all in tip top condition, Tess did slice off a pad a few months back which had to be stitched and dressed for a few weeks, how she did it is a mystery but she was a real soldier

Congratulations on gaining all those qualifications. You really deserve them though as you have always been so dedicated and I have always admired what you have done for your foster children even though it was very difficult at times.

Sorry to hear about your young cats but glad the oldies are ok. Would love to see a pic of the posh looking dogs .

I am finally moving from this awful place. Should all hopefully happen in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait.
I am downsizing to a 2 bed house but it has lovely big gsrdens overlooking lovely views and is not overlooked in a very quiet area, in fact only 20 yrds from where I was bought up, so I know it well.
My other big news is Charly got married to a wonderful man and is now living in Pirbright Surrey. .

Sad news is I lost Kyiro, he had a massive stroke and died within 2 hrs of it. But Lily is doing well on her own and still working reguarly with me round the shows promoting greyhounds as pets. She has been diagnosed with Kidney failure and has her other health problems but is doing well considering.

Hope your going to stick around a bit more Steph.
Hiya...so sorry your life has been mixed with all kinds of emotions hun, I know how hard it is losing a loved one, RIP Kyiro xx....so very happy that you are moving I hope you will be very happy and congratulations to Charlie and her new hubby xx

Hi Lynn sad about the boys as they only reached 10 months and it was doubled for us, but the old'uns are going strong, Bumble is now 22 yrs...very old even for a cat, she is on a special diet and has vet checks, but she knows when its meal time and defo lets us know

You DO sound as if you have had a full and busy life in your absence from here.
My life is always so full its hard keeping up sometimes I got told by the Doctor recently to 'ease up' as a blood test came back with a very low vitamin D (which I have tablets for now) as my joints were giving cause of concern (thankfully I feel alot better now) ''ease up'' I said ''its keeping busy that keeps me going'' He burst out laughing and said ''why do I believe that''

Thanks hun, hopefully we make a difference, I cried when our last one went as we had him for 4 years and I was heart broken, but he did go back for a while to his Mom....although it didn't work out I believe The lad we have now is bigger than me in a size 11 shoe at 14 years he wants to join the police so if he keeps trying hard with his schooling (not been brilliant in the past) he may just make it....at least he has a goal now to aim for

Welcome back YS! I am sorry to hear about your cats, what a shame, RIP boys. Well done on getting your qualifications though!

I've been busy as usual, still working on the degree, busy with cadets as usual, doing a 10k run for Poppy Scotland in a month, about to tackle the Munros. We have gained two bearded dragons, we have called them George and Lenny... and several crickets for said bearded dragon.

Glad to see you back
DO the Degree, its so satisfying in the end bearded dragons nice xxx last time I had dealings with lizards (my youngest son's) I came home to find them running up the curtains...can not say they were my favourite pet

Sorry about your cats, I know how upsetting it is.
Aw thanks hunm yes very upsetting hahahaha I never class myself as patient yet other people say I am funnily enough I do prefer the teenagers to toddlers, even if some teenagers are lippy and abusive but we reach an understanding in the end, thats the main thing

so glad your Bengal was one of the lucky ones yes I had 2 and a ex race horse, unfortunately I finally came to the decision that there hust wasn't enough time in a day, plus having several phone calls a day to ask me into the school where our 'then' foster son was to get him back on track, it was taking half a day between the two....then having to walk the dogs too.....so a friend of mine had the 2 ponies and they are fine (thankfully) and the ex race horse went back to the ex racing stables where he went to a retirement home and is doing very well Broke my heart to see Jimmychoo2feathers go but he is better off now as my friend has all day to dedicate
