@lynwallace Hi Lyn, , thank you so much for your mail, appreciate it, you have some quacker shows coming up with patrick there, how wonderfull for you, wish we had more quacker shows on our q v c , but we dont have many on there, guess they have to share the time with other fashion on there, we have a lot of xmas shows now on our q v c, i want to get the set of 2 bethlehem lights small xmas trees, i want one for my charlies memorial garden, he’ was our old dog, we lost him 3 yrs september 27th, he was 14 and a half when we lost him, he was a collie cross dog, half collie and half flat coated retriever, he had cushions disease, it affects the hormones in older dogs and younger dogs can get it also, he was on tablets to control it, we were away at the time he got taken ill, we were in the usa, and he was in kennels and got taken ill with breathing problems, the people at the kennels got him to our vets, who gave him oxygen which was not helping him ,much, they gave him an x ray and it showed a tumour on he’s liver, they called my partners father and asked him to contact me to contact them, well i got the call from stewarts father but we could not contact the vet via by phone, so i e mailed the vet to call us there and i would pay the call upon our return home, than the vet phoned me, she got the number from stewarts dad, she told me he was very ill and they could not operate and with that i burst into tears and handed the phone to stewart, he then spoke to the vet who said she would phone back in 2 hrs, she did phone back i got stewart to talk to the vet, apparently charlie was not eating, drinking, could not stand up, he’s organs were failing him, so stewart asked the vet to put him to sleep, i was devastated, i had that dog for 14 and a half years, since he was 8 wks old, my first dog too, the worst was coming home and seeing he’s basket here, we had him cremated and i made a memorial garden in our back garden, we scattered some of he’s ahses in he’s garden and we took some to wales where we spend lots of happy times on holiday with charlie, i miss him terribly though, we did adopt a dog a border terrier cross from the dogs trust but he was mistreated he was 6 yrs old, after 7 wks he turned on us for no reason, he bit me on the foot and he had to go back, we then got patch , he’s a springer spaniel dog , he’s now 20 months old, he’s a handful though, I’m training him up, i cannot walk him because of my foot problems right now, but stewart walks him for me twice a day plus he runs around like mad, he unplugged my freezer yesterday so i have had to put a bit of wood in front of the plug socket!! he’s a rascal for sure, but he’s lovely though, black and white in colour he is, we had him fixed last october as he got out of he’s harness and ran over the road, luckily no cars were coming at the time, he jumped over the cemetery wall too, stewart was walking him at the time too, but he’s ok now he’s been fixed, its hot here today, your drink sounds nice and refreshing especially for a hot day like you have had it there, hope you are ok there, take care hugs to you my friend christine

Yes we have a few Quacker shows coming on Monday – special of the day. Can’t wait to watch. even if I don’t buy I still like to watch. They’re just fun. Saw on facebook Patrick got delayed on his way over – hope he makes it.
I understand about your Charlie, I had a dog I adored Mandy, she was Brittany Spaniel and Golden retriever mix. I adored her. Had her for about the same amount of time you had Charlie. We too had her cremated and she sits in my family room along with 3 of our cats. After she died I couldn’t get another dog – she had my heart. So we’ve gone with cats – not quite as loving as dogs, but I still adore them. we have one Dawson, had his sister too, but she got sick and the vet couldn’t do anything. As he’s only 3, I’m expecting him to be here a good long time. We got bird feeders and put them outside the picture window. He loves watching them. We get some squirrels and a rabbit at times.
We’ve had a black bear around, but so far he hasn’t messed with our bird feeders. Later in the fall we’ll have to bring them in as the bears can be destructive. After they hibernate we can put them back out for our winter birds.
It’s suppposed to be hot here until next weekend. ugh!
Take care and give you pup a hug
