@grammato3 I’m so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Wishing you the very best with your treatment with the support of your husband and dogs!! Gorgeous photo 😊🐾

I did go ahead with taking both Lulu and Benji, and I’ve not regretted doing so. You are so right! It sure has been a LOT of hard work, love and infinite patience to raise 2 mischievous intelligent little imps. They are coming up to 6 months in a couple of weeks and sometimes it’s very daunting thinking of the challenges in ongoing training ahead as they get bigger and stronger. Time has flown and they’re growing so fast.

They are both such lovely natured dogs and socialise so well with other dogs, and love people. They’re a pleasure to take out.

It has been amazing how things work out. My best friend since University days, and who is my executor, helps with advice and also walking one pup with me on some Sunday mornings. He recently offered to take them, if needed. I cried. I couldn’t wish for a better home for them if needed. It sure has taken an underlying worry off my mind.
