hello everyone

[Travis 1]

Hi there everyone,hope your all well,not been on for ages and ages,a lot has been happening and it's only the last few months things have settled down,hubby and the kids are great.

Sadly Ruby past away just over 1 year ago after suffering a stroke,but she lived out the last few years of her life living life to the full

My big black beautiful boy was 6 in April and in great health apart from skin flare ups now and again,although he is starting to go grey around his muzzle

We  have a new addition to the family,we have a gorgeous shaded red long coated standard Daschund named Stanley,he is full of energy ,Travis has his work cut out keeping him in his place,although he doesn't take much notice of his big brother

Hope to be on here more regularly from now on
Melxx

Ages ago I couldn't get on here for some reason,when the message was up about no hotmail account users,so I reregistered,then a lot of things started going wrong,my Mum passed away after a 4th stroke on 25 May 2009,then in the September Trav had to be castrated due to a tumour being found,thank goodness he is now fine,then in March this year my Dad was diagnosed the 2 grade 4 brain tumour's,he died 28th May this year,things have been really hard for us as a family.Didn't realise I'd even reregistered until I tried to get on here last night,but hopefully I'll be back on regularly now

I am sorry to hear that Mel (((HUGS)))

You should be able to get on with your old account if you want to use that again, it was a gremlin in the works I think.

Thanks everyone,and yes thank heavens my big boy is fine,if it wasn't for him I don't think I would have had the inclination to leave the house again,but he's our responsibility and still needs his excersize however low we feel,
