Thursday

This morning has turned out beautiful again. So much so that we are making use of our new seating area in the garden for the 3rd time this week 

We've 2 new puppies in our lives!

Joey arrived on Saturday to my niece, Hannah, and her wife. Two days ago Hannah had unbelievable abdominal pains and was whipped into the RUH to have her appendix out. I've offered a temporary home to Joey but, as it's half term and Louise, Hannah 's wife, is a teacher, they don't need me.

Stella is Giuseppe and Sarah's accidental new arrival. Both Silk and Daisy died recently. Daisy only a week ago. Sarah went to donate renal diet food at a dog shelter and there was Stella. 16 weeks old. So I was round there yesterday evening with presents and getting a lot of love.

Sarah cried a lot. She's lost two dogs, her cat and her dad recently. Their neighbour died suddenly so she's adopted their cat. Hopefully Stella can mend broken hearts. Animals are essential to their lives.
