Hope that the feelings you have now will not last too long.
Not as down as I was this morning before I put this thread up though H!
Thanks for helping me!xx

Thanks Kel, yes, we do need those hugs, so it's a good job I've got you lot on here otherwise I don't know where I'd be! I might invent a "hug machine" for people like me who don't have any on offer!!!

Cassie is and always will be with you. You know that she pops in to see if your doing ok. She wouldn't want to see you sad expecially as she is having so much fun at the bridge.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks Shiba, and for your lovely pm which cheered me up no end, not making me laugh, but such a lovely message there for me!xxx

Ooooops sorry Fudgeley, didn't want to do that! Yes, that's the first thing I said to Dave this morning about offering some help to our local rescue centre or something, but then having said that, I know what I'm like and I would have wanted to do more and more instead of say 1 or 2 hours (I KNOW me so well!) and for one thing it's not safe to leave Mum for too long in case she falls or sets the house alight with her ciggies
I might still think about that one though and get in touch with the dog warden where I got Georgie from, he knows me well too so I'm sure he'd let me help them in some way.

Sorry if I've dragged up a few memories for you too with this thread Katie
That's exactly what I mean, they have such different personalities, and Cassie I could talk to, all the time, she was always appearing from nowhere with her great big grin, or maybe just for a cuddle, and I could TALK to her and she'd listen, whereas Georgie just wouldn't understand, all he wants is food! Well, you know the answer to that one don't you!!!

Thanks Kirsty, hopefully it's just a short phase I'm going through. Maybe because I was out in the garden yesterday hosing down that patio and I stopped to have a little chat at her grave and snip off her dead roses, she must have reached out and taken another little chunk out of my heart, bless her!!!xxx
The farmer where I kept my horse over the road, always used to say to me "that's the smartest dog in Town" and I think he really meant it, not only was she smart, she was well behaved with impeccable manners, and certainly beautiful, a real dog in a million. Just to tell you how clever she was, when I used to be mucking out in the pitch black at 5.30 am. in the winter in the pouring rain, she'd pester me with that big hard rubber ball, drop it in a pile of poo in the stable, I'd throw it miles out into the field of long grass, and do you know, she'd come back with it within seconds!!! Not a lot of dogs could do that I'm sure!!! Such lovely memories I have, although at the time, that particular game of hers would drive me nuts!!! My friend used to take the mickey out of me up there, and say "You do make me laugh H, one minute it's C-a-s-s-i-e blooming dog grrrrrr, and then it's awwwww I love that dog"!!! Lol! Everyone used to laugh at our antics up at the stables, even my horse I think!!!
Thanks for listening I really am feeling sooooo much better now, and I mailed Dave to tell him that Parrots off now, so he'll be more relieved at work now. Hey ho, better feed old Georgie now, do his skin, and then empty Mum's commode! Oh what a joyful existence I have hey!!!!!
You've cracked it, I'm laughing again now folks! Thanks!!!xxxxxxxx
