Was dreading today

Hi everyone, as you all know I had my lovely old English bulmastiff booked in to be put to sleep today and have been dreading this day all week, arrived at the vets in tears with archie, lovely young vet called us in and examined archie, to my relief she said I really don't think it's his time yet, she has prescribed some very heavy duty painkillers and medication and has suggested we try him on this til after Xmas, so home I went with my dog!! Obviously this is not a cure but if he's not in any pain and I get another month with the old boy I'm

I'm very happy for you, enjoy your unexpected time together and get Archie's stocking hanging up now x

Thank you Briar, what an emotional roller-coaster today has been! Didn't even consider reaching for a ciggie either! Had big cuddles with archie tonight, got his stocking up!!! Given him all his meds and hes away with fairies at the moment I think lol

Way hay Sharon, thats just fantastic news gal

Soooo, you've got the old boy for another month at least then thats just great gal ermmmm, just wandering have you thought about getting a puppy, so then, Archie can teach him how to go on eh cos dogs do talk to each other, in their own language that is and perhaps Archie will enjoy bossing a youngon about eh

Like I say, just a thought gal and you take care xx

He he, Monky my son would love to get a pup but to be honest now I'm working again and as much as I love dogs they are like having another child! I won't miss picking up the poos aswell in the garden everyday lol
