Thread: Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

cauli soup sounds grim probably like drinking gnats widdle!
dont beat yourself up about the 4 oatcakes you say there was no pause - but you were celebrating and think how far you have come pre cd how much food would you have celebrated with and 4 oatcakes is hardly going to break the calorie bank and you compensated later in the day and thats what its all about isnt it - being mindful of what we eat rather than just hoovering up everything in sight!!!! (gosh Im sounding a tad like I know what I'm talking about!!!!)
well done chick anyway am going to miss you when you go away never mind 3 weeks will go quickly!

What's the verdict this morning, or are we not trusting the scales since he fiddled with them?! I'm hoping to pop to Boots today, so excited!!

Hiya... scales say 11st so who knows. Will get proper scales at weekend & verify.

Had the worst ever start to a day... my lovely dog died this morning at half seven. I was up early (5) and let dogs out, settled down to mooch through the threads on minis... at 5.30 Daisy came over to say hello, she is 12 & a retired/rescue greyhound with arthritis & heart problems. Her bak legs gave way & she went into panic mode trying to stand, then kind of spasms... I ended up holding her to calm her down and stayed that way for next 2 and a half hours... it just got worse... she would thrash about and bite her tongue and the carpet was all blood, pee & s***. I couldn't let go, but my son found us, OH called vet, daughter came in to sit with me, vet arrived and took 4 jags to actually release her... just so, so horrid.

We will bury her later when OH gets home again. Just talked to my lovely sister-outlaw on phone, and cried some more, feel a bit better now, & obviously have cleaned carpet and showered & thrown some clothes away. Just so upsetting, death isn't always peaceful or quick I guess.

She was my Dad's dog, he died 18 months ago & she came to live here as we loved her & my mum didn't want to keep her. He gave her a very happy life and if there is any justice she will be with him again now... don't really believe that but it's a nice image. Losing her has brought my Dad's death back all over again, gotta go I'm crying all over the keyboard.

Ohhh honey, I really really don't know what to say to this. I don't want to insult you by saying "I hope you're ok" because clearly you're not.

I am so so sooo so sorry for your loss this morning, I can't imagine how you must be feeling, am so sorry sweetheart.

I really don't know what to say, but if you ever need to chat my pm box is always open.

Am here if you need someone xxxx

Lots of love xxx

Oh Katy, you have me crying too. What a dreadful thing to have happened. I am sending you loads of love and big hugs.

I know what you mean about bringing back the loss of your Dad. My cat had her kittens just before my mum died and the last thing my mum ever did was look at a photo on my phone that I had taken of the newly-born kittens. She then went into a deep sleep and never woke up, dying 5 days later. When I had to give up my cats recently, the emotion that is tied up with them because of mum, it really came to the fore again. I absolutely feel that they are together again. Your dad and your dog, walking through the heather like they used to.

Take care sweetie xxx

Oh darling I'm so sorry about your beloved pet (and your dad, too.. not sure I knew that yet!).

I guess life has a way of biting us in the butt doesn't it? Things like this let us know we're not over it yet. It was a big thing, your dad dying and this reminder of him dying now, too..

Let yourself cry honny, you need to cry it';ll make you feel better in the end I promise.

I'm sorry I can't really relate to a loved one passing away but I can think of the most sucky feeling in the world and multiply it x10.. hoping to come close enough so I can think of something to say to comfort you... Hate to say I can't think of anything. I hope others have wiser words for you darling.. Be safe and take it easy!

Thanks so much Jess, Lorrayne & Lostris... thanks for caring. Something like this can really knock you sideways... trying to work but not getting very far. Thank goodness I work from home, I look like the creature from the black lagoon & I do keep welling up although I know that she could not have come back from that, and she was suffering, all of that. It does drag up all sorts of other stuff, alas.

Anyway, thanks. And Lorrayne, such a lovely image, it's how I would love to think of them both, thanks for that thought and hugs to all.

oh no sorry hun xxxxx

I am so very sorry for your loss. Poor Daisy at least she is free from the pain now.

Thinking of you and your family xxxxxxxxx

Thanks honeys... I know. Hugs.

Oh Katy, l'm so sorry. I had tears welling up in my eyes (then rolling down my cheeks) as l read your post. I'm haven't had a dog since l was age 12, but l still remember how much l missed her when she died.
Thinking of you & sending you a big hug.

Thanks Disney... horrid day, but better now. We just buried her under the apple tree and put flowers on her and it was sad but things feel a bit lighter now and I know we couldn't have done anything more for her. Big sighs.

Hey hunny, hope you're feeling a little bit better, if you can at all poor you xxx

big big BIG hugs to you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hugs back lovely girl... so strange that minis people can be there for you with totally random un-CD stuff as well as all the usual weight-related stuff. The support thru the day has meant a huge amount. Read about your size 10 jeans and so happy for you hun! What a star.

Got pals coming over for a while so will check in again before bed.

Oh no I'm sorry, I know nothing I say can will help, so for you..... xx
