I am so pleased it made you smile. Finlay makes my heart smile. I hope you are as well as you can be? It is so hard being in pain all the time. Our angels in fur coats are so good at comfort and distraction. Finlay sends gorgeous Storm lots of licks and I send you huge Cwtches and lots of love xxx

[thestorm in reply to CecilyParsley]

Thank you for the Love dear Cc. I don't know why I am not getting a notice from the forum when replies are made. I get your posts and many others from the great people here, but then when a reply is made, unless I look back here, I don't know anyone on any post is replying.......Yes, our fury Angels are to the rescue for us in comforts always. I don't believe I could be my best without him. I'm sure you feel the same. I have been battling SLE flares, way to much heat and humidity here,with Canada s wild fire smoke like the dark side of the moon here. It's not safe to go outside for us or storm. I have so much to tell you and everyone, but can't type it out. My raynaud's is have it's way with my hands. I think I'll have to teach storm how to type,lol. How are you. I hope your well, and your summer in tolerable. Sending al my prayers, blessings, and love 💖🤗😇🐺. The Stormy Sunshine xxxxxx.

[CecilyParsley in reply to thestorm]

Climate Change is very scary. If anyone needed proof of it the temperatures across the world now should be proof enough. I have Facebook friends in Canada and they tell me stories like yours. It must be terrifying fir you and so hard for Storm not to be out . Here is cool and very very wet. We have had one day out of 18 that hasn’t had torrential rain. My garden is waterlogged completely.

I am suffering with pelvic pain . I have had it intermittently for the past four years but it is getting more frequent. I have been referred to a Uro- Gynaecologist but the waiting list is two years.

Have you tried the voice training software. My husband tried it and once you teach it your speech patterns it types as you dictate. It does need work though, endless repetition until it gets it but when it dies it is amazing. It might be just right for you and save your hands. I use a stylus to type as my finger tips are constantly numb and/ or burning.

Thank goodness for Storm and Finlay. Keep safe and as well as you can lovely lady xxx❤️

He is gorgeous Cecily. I love your comment on "holes" in your garden. LAUGHTER! xx

[CecilyParsley in reply to LalSD]

My garden is a a hazard. I have to manoeuvre the holes to check my plants. He also watched me pinching out Tomato plant branches so now “ helps” by grabbing and pulling every plant he can reach 😱. He is joy covered in fur. He found my pack of incontinence pads. I came out of the shower to find my bed covered in white fluff. He had some stuck to his eyebrows. I did try to take a photo but was laughing so hard it was just a blur. Xxx

Happy belated birthday to Finlay and thank you so much for the cute photos and post. It was also Gigi's birthday yesterday. She is already 4. I always say she is pure joy. She and Pumpkin help me get through everyday. Our fur babies are the best medicine in the world. They love us no matter what and us on good days and struggling days. I love when Gigi licks my sore and scary fingers and Pumpkin's purrs are a constant source of comfort. Finlay is so very lucky to have you and you him.

Healing hugs.

[CecilyParsley in reply to Pumpkin2009]

Happy belated Birthday to Gigi 🎂You are so right they help us get through the rough times xxx

[KayHimm]

Cecily, that Finlay is adorable! Happy Birthday to him - what a 🎁 in your life, right?

I have my first dog, a little Chihuahua, and I am crazy about him. Today I had my follow cancer scope. After getting good news, I came home to my dog, elated that I walked in the door even though I was only gone a few hours.

Hope you are making some progress. Do you still have that kind rheumatologist? Your asthma must be tough to manage in the heat.

[CecilyParsley in reply to KayHimm]

Hi Kay thank you Finlay is a constant source of joy. The dog Walker we have is an excellent photographer so we get photos and videos every time he goes out. It is the nearest thing to being there with him. On alternate Saturdays they take all 12 dogs to an adventure park and let them loose. It is amazing as they run and play, get in the mud, run through obstacles, up tree trunks etc.I am delighted to hear that you received good new 🍾🥂🎉 and thst your Chihuahua is giving you all the love and fun a furry friend can.It is far from hot here in South Wales. We have had heavy rain for 18 consecutive days so at the moment it is not a problem. We have bought Finlay a large swimming pool but he is loathe to get in it, yet he had returned this morning soaking from the river. I do think it is that he gets courage from the other dogs…watch this space. Keep well Kay I really am so pleased for you xxx
