  How you can be surprised by someone.

  I'm amazed by my daughter, she remembered my Dad's birthday even though no-one else did apart fom me. She really surprised me.

  People say that it gets easier when you've lost someone you love - they're wrong - Dad died on August 17th 2004 and it still hurts like yesterday. My dog, Wookie, was put down on March 31st 2005 and I still miss him badly. When Sarah and I bought Beckie we went out to find the opposite of Wookie! He was male (obviously!) she's female; both are rescue dogs; he was sandy coloured she's shades of black and white; he was a cross Border Collie she's an English Setter. They're both about the same size (the vet thinks that Becky was a runt) and both have/had wonderful personalities although Becky suffers from separation anxiety and will systematically destroy the house if left alone. We found that out very early on and have always made sure that someone is in the house with her. She also stole food and would hide it around the house, I don't know if she'd still do that. She loves being in the car and never gets stressed about being left alone in it! But she loves to get into the front seats!

  I'll get Sarah to put photos of Dad and Wookie on here one day.

  I'm back

  Hi everyone - it seems like ages since I've been here. Everything's going ok at the moment apart from I'm soooooo tired. I had to get up early this morning to pick Sarah up from work - I seem to be her personal taxi service at the moment!

  I hope everyone is feeling as chilled as me!

  more problems

  I haven't been on here for ages I've been too stressed. After my friends' funeral I parked my car as usual and came out the next morning to find the passenger door wing mirror had been wrenched off and was hanging by its' wire ! After some choice words about the questionable parentage of the vandals I went to the police station to report it and then to the garage to find out how much it would cost to replace! Best part of £400 later I now have a back to new car!
