Sorry I have not been in to speak with you all. I had another "incident" and had to go to the hospital again and this time they kept me in overnight to get things back on an even keel. I was brought home the next day to find that the power was gone. It only came back tonight.
Well the word on the new puppy would appear to be good. He will have to be flown to England and stay there two weeks before he can enter Ireland. All I have to do now is to see if I can raise £500 to cover his rabies shots, the blood tests and the issue of his Pet Passport.
I know it is not much in the greater scheme of things as all his flights are being paid for and he is being given to me free of charge, but I live on a small disability pension out of which I have to pay everything - rent - food - clothes - utility bills - petrol for car etc. so there is precious little left when all that is done.
I have to decide by next thursday whether I can manage to raise the money - If I can't, then it just won't happen.
This is a photo of the little guy which I thought you might all like to see. I can't allow myself to feel any hope or excitement until I can see if I can come up with the money.
Thank you all for your lovely posts and for your encouragement. I truthfully don't think I would be here, typing this, if it wasn't for all your help and kindness. I will never forget all you have done for me.
