I just want to thank averyone who replied to my message about feeling sad over the loss of my dogs. I am replying to all the messages individually, but as I have now been on the internet ( and barcardi & coke) for over three hours I really should log off and go to bed.

So to all you dog lovers (and lucky people who still have a dog in your life) - Thank you for your kind words and advice.

I won't be getting a puppy just yet, but who knows what the future holds. (hopefully a wriggling little bundle that smells of biscuits)

Hi Jan

I too have read all the messages to you, and from you - and I think that your idea of having trees planted in memory of your dogs is an absolutely wonderful one - think of them in that wood, sniffing around roots, chasing after leaves - and the trees will be there long after you and I have gone - and in those trees is the fact - that they were planted in loving memory of Parsley and Holly! In my mind, far far better than giving money to the RSPCA!

Love Margot

Please continue this in the still active thread. Thank you :-)
