Oh Chris!!!

Not much I can say my friend...sitting here at work in front of my net book and a female colleague asking me if I suffer from hay fever because water is filling up my eyes and running down my cheeks (silly cow).

The Buna family pet is a Lhasa Apso and is fourteen human years old and we are witnessing the deterioration effects now (latest one is partial hearing loss).

So whilst I can empathise I hope you won't mind if I recap what I say to the missus when we look on at 'Dylan' as he sleeps on his bedding and we get all sympathetic about him...

"Look Ann, you've given him the best of everything in love, care and attention during his short lifetime and I'm confident he knows and appreciates the fact. Focus on all the positives and good times we all shared together".

Not much mate, I know but I hope you all come out of this in a positive way.

Off to the loo now to blow my nose.

God Bless
