Thank you Flossie. He is fine & back in Saudi. He will be home for a couple of weeks the middle of May, although I might go and meet him in Bahrain to get some sun & heat. Hate the cold & miserable weather here.

Still working at the weight loss, although despite doing everything possible, this last stone and a half is going so slowly hence not posting until there's something significant to tell.

Hope your week has been good. XXX

That is sad and you will have to allow yourself to grieve for him.ย  But hopefully you can comfort yourself with the thought that you gave him a good life, and that he will always be there in your memories.

Flossie I'm so sorry to read about Calvin, we grow so close to our pets they really are part of our family. ย Under the circumstances to maintain your weight was a good result, try not to find comfort in food in the coming days, I know from personal experience that's easier said than done. Best wishes Flossie.ย

Thanks Jenever,

Struggling a bit, missing the daily walks but not comfort eating .

Hi Flossie,

I am so sorry to hear that sad news that Calvin passed away, and just wanted to send you a virtual hug. ย 

Maintaining your weight is good, especially in the circumstances.

Take care,

Hi flossie.

ย I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It's so sad when you loose a close bond with anyone, human, animal doesn't matter ๐Ÿ˜” last week our chocolate labrador, cody, was really poorly and it was touch and go for a little while but after 2 major stomach and intestine operations he is thankfully on the mend and is now home. (Cone firmly attached!)

I have to admit I had a bad night last week after taking a phone call from vet lots of chocolate and crisps. Felt so rubbish after.ย 

I'm so pleased you haven't gained. Stay strong, as everyone says onwards and downwards.

Claire x

Hope Cody is on the mend, give a big cuddle from me.

Thank you flossie. Cody is fine now finally taken his cone (of shame) off yesterday and no more meds. He now has a muzzle (which he hates) to stop him eating anything he shouldn't when out x

I'm so sorry that Calvin has passed away - he sounds like he was a super trouper dog that loved you to the moon and back.

Flossie, I've just seen your thread! I'm so sorry to hear about Calvin, you must be absolutely devastated!

I know just how much your beloved boy meant to you and my heart goes out to you.

I'm glad to see that you and Mr F have decided to go on a last minute holiday. I hope it will give you the time to grieve properly, comfort each other and reflect on the wonderful times you had with Calvin.ย 

One day, you'll be able to smile when you remember him, but for now, those memories will be accompanied by tears. It's my heartfelt wish that the tears pass quickly and are replaced, just as quickly, with smiles.

Love and hugs to you Flossie. xxx

I'm so sorry for your loss Flossie, it's so hard to lose a much loved pet. I lost one of my dogs 18 months ago and I grieved for her as a member of my family, we all did. I can tell you though that as time goes on the memories are still there but you start to enjoy remembering again, you don't forget but the pain fades. Hope you have a really good holiday xx
