That's wonderful news about Hattie - I'm so pleased and relieved for both of you :) and I completely agree - that's waaaay better than any Crufts award, including BIS. All we want is for them to be happy, healthy and share our lives for as long as possible, nothing else matters when it boils down to it.
Take care of yourself now, as from your post you're clearly feeling the strain (I think nerves and adrenalin keep us going at the beginning). A hot bath and a cosy up beside Hattie on the sofa sounds like it's the best therapy for you both just now :)
Thanks for the update, Teri x
