First of all, please let me say a huge thank you to all of you who have left lovely comments with regard to our loss of our lovely Sam; also a huge thank you to all of you who took the time to send us cards and personal emails - we are both so grateful. This is one of the reasons I could never leave J-land altogether despite moving over to BT!!! You are all such lovely people.

It is getting a little easier but certain things will stay with us forever like the way Sam would rest his head on the window-ledge to watch out for anything happening in the street…….very little did/does as we live in a cul-de-sac but that never stopped him!!! Also his love of sausages (we had them a couple of days ago and I still could not use the last remaining one as Sam always used to have it!!), chicken and anything that was not normal dog food that was okay for doggies to eat, lol !! We had initially thought of scattering his ashes at the pocket park, but decided he would be too far away from us; consequently we have bought a special white rose named ’Remember’ to plant in a patio pot and have his ashes placed round that. We also bought a pink rose for the Cancer awareness scheme……yes I know it is for human cancer but Sam was almost human in his antics so I think we can allow for that!! We miss him desperately and I am still crying quite a bit, but he is out of pain now…..even though he did not let us know he was in pain……and I like to think he is having a good time where he is!! We will get another pup soon but we need to get the garden back to a good state after the lousy weather we have had, plus make the pond puppy friendly; no way will the new pup replace Sam (nothing could ever replace him) but a new pup will be loved just as much.

I am not happy ‘cos I dropped my laptop at the weekend and it is now running sooooo slow and erratically; Kevin is going to have it at some point so he can see if he can sort it out for me; it won’t even do a proper system restore so something is not right…………yes I was calling myself all the names under the sun for doing something so stupid, but unfortunately my laptop is not the lightest of things being almost 2yrs old and made before the new lightweight ones were made!! The most annoying thing is not being able to get out of a level in one of my games because it so slow…..frustrating cos I have sailed through all the other levels - hopefully Kev will sort it for me and I can beat Rob at completing the game (we are neck and neck on the levels) and I have to beat him!!!

Anyway I am off to cook dinner and eventually catch up with emails!!! Love to you all,
