Oh Kazzy, that was so nice.

You've made me cry again, but in a nice way (if you follow my meaning!)

Ah Kallis, been thinking about you and little Lloyd. Give him a big hug from me and sending you one too. I'm so glad you're off work so that you can take time out. A little companion for Lloyd(and you two) would be lovely, I'm sure. Sounds like you and Bella were very lucky to have found each other. I've emailed you. Lv lots. X

Ang, really hope Casey improves. Nia was on steroids because she eats chunks out of herself, they thought she was allergic to everything and then she was diagnosed with psychogenic alopecia. Since then, we finished the steroids and she hasn't had an episode in about 4 months. The vet said that sometimes animals can just get over things. Lets hope Casey does. I'll be thinking of you and Casey tomorrow. X

Thanks Viki, I've sent you one back.

I've given Lloyd his hug, poor love, he is so lost. Sitting on my chair at the moment looking out of the window and will soon be barking when my parents arrive.

Ah Kallis, poor Lloyd, just keep him busy, I'm sure your parents will do that, lots of games and toys. That will keep you busy too. He still has you two, I'm sure he'll be fine. It will take time for all of you. Thinking of you. X

Thanks Viki.

Aw Kallis, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to make you cry, but someone said this to me when I lost my parents and it was so true.

You will cry every day numerous times at the beginning. Then only a few times a week after that. Then when things turn up to remind you, periodically the tears will arrive again. But then a few months will go by and then suddenly, it will dawn on you that you haven't cried recently. It is at at this stage, that you realise that you are coming to terms with your grief and life is more bearable again. I still cry on their birthdays, my birthday, their anniversaries and at Christmas and miss them terribly every day, but I can get through life now without them encompassing my every thought (debt does that now), so I have now accepted that they are now gone.

This is true for our animals as well, as I felt the same when I laid my little cats to rest.

Hope you're both feeling better soon hunniis.
