Thank you.

I'm eating again.  Crisps, this time.

 norty  and me tea and biscuits   

 I might have tea and biscuits after BB.

 I wont look 

 I won't have chocolate biscuits. That's my idea of being good.

 

Is Summer at the hospital tonight? I hope her Mil is feeling in brighter spirits.

I'm sure I read in one of the threads she was going to see her MIL earlier today Yogi 

From the Manor Yogi..

Sweet to Bazzy..

 

Hi baz  hope you've done something relaxing  I've just been caught in a thunderstorm while walking bramble, we came home soaked! Off to visit MIL but hope to see you later 

 

Aww poor Summer and Bramble. I hope they got a chance to dry off before Summer set off for the hospital.

Me too Yogi 

Keira keeps bringing me a toy, so I'll throw it for her to fetch. But every time I go to take it, she runs away. I think my dog is taking the mickey!

 that's brilliant Yogi. A dog with a sense of humour 

She torments me, Moonie. I'm sure she's laughing at me.

 she may well be   

Off to watch The Returned on Ch4+ 1. It has subtitles, so I need to concentrate.

Goodnight Moonie, hope you sleep better tonight.

Goodnight Summer, sweet dreams.

Goodnight Yogi. I hope I do too. Enjoy the The Returned and sleep well. Sweet dreams   

Saying sweet dreams without something sweet, just wouldn't be right... Lol at Keira, I hope she enjoyed her game tonight I did visit MIL, and although she looks very unwell, she is feeling stronger we should know more tomorrow about when they might move her, and she enjoyed her wheel about the hospital and is hoping for another she's also had nieces & great nieces visit her yesterday, she was happy to see them I hope you all had a good day, Squiggle I hope you have a good cereal lined up for the morning Night night

Glad your MIL is feeling stronger Sweet  Awww and that she enjoyed here wheelie too Do you know where they may be moving her, if i'm not being too nosey?

 

Snow Owl for Yogi and Sweet 

Good morning everyone. Weather is better today. The wind and rain have been replaced by some sunshine.

What a gorgeous owl, Moonie.

Summer, loving the little owl cakes.

Glad your MiL enjoyed her trip around the hospital and that she enjoyed her visit from other family members.

Good morning everyone

 

Fair weather here and the windy conditions have gone.

 

Summer, I'm glad your MIL is a bit stronger and that she was visited by her nieces and great nieces

We used to have the most wonderful Alsatian dog when I was a teenager.  He used to have such a sense of humour, we had a very long and winding garden path and he used to creep up behind people and gently nip their bottoms, then turn around and really laugh   He was really gorgeous, it broke my heart when he died.  We lived in a big house behind my dad's garage and there was a dual carriageway where the garage was.  He knew he wasn't allowed up there and so when he got hit by a car he came back and hid in case we were cross with him.  Me and my brother called the PDSA ambulance and when it came it was a tiny little van and we had trouble getting him in it, it still breaks my heart to think about it.

 

I've made myself sad now, good morning everyone.

 

PS  I am glad your MiL is feeling stronger Summer, what a lady!  I am still ploughing through the horrible cereal until wednesday when the delivery comes.  The owl is totally GAWJUSS!

Penny, our dog, had a real sense of humour when she was young. She would dash around the back garden (which was quite large) teasing us to try and catch her knowing that we didn't have a chance

 

Whenever we took her for a walk we always had her on a lead (the roads being busy). There was the time when I was walking her and she decided to run down the road as fast as she could with me running behind her. She was a cross between a corgi and a labrador, and was the size of a corgi but the strength of a labrador. Corgis, despite their size, are faster than the average dog and can reach about 23 mph. She wouldn't have got to that speed but that was the fastest running I have ever done.

Good morning everyone a chilly start here today, I had to go find my coat Aw squiggle what a character your Alsatian was such a sad story about it getting hit by a car, I hope you can replace your sadness with a nice happy memory- there must be something in particular that makes you laugh..? Beautiful owl moonie! It reminds me of Hedwig from Harry Potter Yes, we know where they plan to move MIL, sort of- I don't know exactly where the building is but I know what area it'll be. Luckily it's a bit closer to home too so that should mean less travel for us for visiting

Thank you Summer, I was in tears this morning just thinking of Prince, he was the biggest Alsatian I ever saw and the most gentle.  I can still see his face when he hid from us, ashamed that he had gone where he shouldn't have.

 

Your MiL is a gutsy lady and I hope she defies the doctors and comes home

 Squiggle. The fact that his loss still touches you, shows how much you cared for him. I'm sure Prince had a happy life with your family.

 

Summer, it's good news that your MiL will be a bit nearer, making it easier for visiting. Is she reasonably happy with the arrangements that are being made on her behalf?

 

El, I had to laugh at the mental image of you running full pelt, trying to keep up with the dog. Is a labrador/corgi cross known as a lorgi or a cobrador?

They are know as either corgadors or corgidors

Penny was closer in appearance to Dinah Washington Powell on the pictures on this link:

http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/corgidor.htm

Cobrador sounds really exciting! el, I presume she kept you really fit! Squiggle I hope you feel better this afternoon I just know your dog would have been well loved and taken care of MIL does seem happy with those arrangements, although her mood is very up & down so it's hard to tell for sure. I think she's worried about how she'll cope at home so moving to a closer hospice facility first is a good transition for her. Hopefully she'll gain some strength back while she's there

Summer, cobrador may sound exciting but it's Spanish for collector or conductor as in:

el cobrador del ómnibus

 

Do you mean hospice as those are generally for terminally ill people?

 

I thought so too at first el, but apparently hospices do more than that now and can take people in for rehabilitation and respite. They've reassured her that they're not sending her there to end her days

Summer, that's good to know. In my area there's a care home very close to the hospital which is run by the council and looks after elderly people who have been in hospital, haven't recovered enough to be able to go home just yet, and go there on a short term basis whilst they continue their recovery.

I like the sound of corgidor, El.

 

Summer, I'm glad your MiL has been reassured, as hospice can be a scary word for a lot of people.

Good evening everyone   

Not a lot of sleep last night. So I may do a 'Sweet' and nod of at sometime tonight  but not now 

 

Hope Everything goes well when your MIL moves Sweet. Pleased it closer for you too 

Hi Moonie. Sorry you didn't sleep well.

Have you had a nap during the day?

I was thinking that moonie should try his best to stay awake, then if he is really tired hopefully he will sleep better.

 Good point.

Has Moonie nodded off?

I have now Yogi and fanks
